What climate zone are you in or where are you located? Can you take a photo that shows the entire front yard? I can't tell where you park or how guests walk to your front door. If you search Houzz for 'entrance gardens' you will see many examples of homes with wide paths leading from the street to the front door. Do you like to garden? You have a lovely house and would not want to hide any of the porch area so keep the plantings around the porch low. You can plant some taller plants at the base of each post but these should also stay low and not get higher than 3' to 4'. It looks like the garage may be in the back of the house with a fence along the driveway. You could have low growing roses along the fence and flower beds at the front of the house if you like to garden. Location and more pictures would help us to give suggestions for the garden.

no problem, so are you saying that wall is closest, but stronger, do you think it might like a smokey teal? that is very in right now, or is it like the grayed out turquoise on the coverlet? Grey would be a wonderful accent with that. Have you thought of making your headboard? So amazingly simple? Give yourself like a nice padded gray? Could go for a silk or velvet? oh do you have dark hairy people? you know like black retrievers or something? that could be a problem. If you put covered buttons, there is actually a little tool (under $10 does it all for you. really glam it up. do these help? I think i would go with light gray or a variation of the wall color. let me know when you are ready for more. Couple ideas for bedside stands, first 2 less than $100, last one idea for alternative.

Hi Royce, great job on the drawings! Is there only one window in the master bedroom?

Our clients came to us explaining that their home was just not working for their growing family. They loved their home but the living area was a long narrow space from the lounge through the kitchen, the children shared bedrooms and everyone in the family needed space of their own. Tailored Building Solutions undertook a site visit to chat with our client, addressing their main wants and needs, and what their compromises were. The musts were: Open plan living, the children needed their own bedrooms, and ideally a separate laundry and pantry. Tailored Building Solutions worked closely with our architect to achieve these wants and what had been to date only dreams. Utilising the space the family already had, but cleverly pushing up the home to another floor, the end project speaks for itself. Not only did we manage to create a beautiful indoor/outdoor flow, an open plan living space but also an additional bedroom on the same level. We also created the owners a beautiful new master suite, encompassing beautiful views of the ocean and valley. From design to the finished home the owners are LOVING the result. Check out highlights, before/after images of the projects, as well as what the clients have to say about their new home: https://www.houzz.co.nz/hznb/photos/family-living-just-got-bigger-phvw-vp~190056686
