At Home Lawn and Garden Curb Appeal

At home lawn and garden curb appeal projects lead the way to impressive results with big returns that welcome style home.

The Cottage Journal

Springtime weather along with in season sources lights, designs and perfects the walkway/pathway to maximum curb appeal satisfaction.

More than a tomayto, tomahto difference, walkway and pathway will b0th get you to where you’re going but here’s the difference according to The Spruce and Merriam-Webster.

Walkways serve a more utilitarian purpose as a passage or path for walking and/or connecting different areas of a building, garden path or park sections.

Pathway is defined as a meandering avenue of sorts, usually made from casual, vintage and/or rustic materials.

Achieving visually appealing curb appeal instantly and affordably is not a home maintenance myth.

Paint renews the old, spring sales give good return on your investment, a stone walkway leads to wow factor, and new exterior lighting fixture(s) deliver function and style.

Sourcing gift ideas to show and tell in an upcoming Mother’s Day post brings me to include this lovely portrait and garden arbor.

Green Metal Traditional Garden Arbor

Color comes alive not only in the exterior paint choices applied to trim, shutters, doors, and columns, but in the landscaping details and accents selected to showcase entry, porch, lawn and garden.

Annuals color up planters, baskets, and beds for sure, but may not match with your curb appeal master plan.

Enter door wreaths, outdoor pillows, garden stools perched and porched, and doormats.

Outdoor wall decorations create a vignette designed to draw the eye (and in some cases cover or camouflage areas otherwise deemed an eyesore).

Additions and subtractions to my curb appeal equation continue- hence the ladder ready to go at a painter’s notice.

Last fall before all hell broke loose with Dave’s health I walked the driveway and front sidewalks taking inventory of exterior projects to be addressed sooner than later.

Taking note of chippy shutters and gables along with faded columns and trim it suddenly became“paintfully” obvious curb appeal was lacking.

Painting the exterior gives new life and new look to existing features.

On the topic of creating curated details let me share with you a favorite faux feature we ran with when we remodeled.

Behind the shutters in the image above is a window from the original dining room design.

Dave boarded up existing windows fastening shutters to newly constructed frames. Dummy scroll shutter dogs serving strictly a cosmetic purpose were added to achieve the look known around these parts.

Springtime is the right time for enhancing curb appeal with first impressions make lasting impressions themed projects.

Lasting First Impressions: Create Curb Appeal

Interiors float my boat, but exteriors rate key in the overall design flow to create curb appeal.

Late last week we began the create curb appeal process with the removal of the large oak tree in our front yard.

Springtime is the right time to spruce things up around the old homestead.

Days tend to be comfortable, longer than those of late winter, and conducive to activities that promote seasonal beautification.

We’re not quite at the point in the removal process to share photos, but thankfully we are at the point where when wind gusts of hurricane season blow we won’t be more frantic than usual.

Future DIY project pieces.

Let’s look at a few big impact, small investment ways to create curb appeal.

Espalier is the art of growing a plant along a flat surface.

1 : a plant (such as a fruit tree) trained to grow flat against a support (such as a wall)

2 : a railing or trellis on which fruit trees or shrubs are trained to grow flat.

Solar walkway lights, landscape lighting, hanging pendants, LED flush mount outdoor ceiling lights and wall mount lighting can be found at home improvement and discount retail stores in a large variety of finishes to coordinate with the style flow you are trying to achieve.

We love the look of the LED flush mount ceiling light we installed a couple of years ago.

6. Make the Decorative Call to Replace Outdated Window Treatments

(or elect not to use window treatments at all)

Period Architecture

There’s no substitute for the beauty of natural light, but privacy concerns may trump this option.

If going with window treatments consider blinds, shutters, shades and even architectural salvage pieces.

House Beautiful – Heidi Caillier Design

House Beautiful – Leanne Ford

Working or stationary, a pair of vintage shutters used as a complementing accent in your window treatment application take the finished look to new heights.

The house we owned before the one we presently live in was a garden district charmer complete with interior French doors, original cast iron farmhouse kitchen sink with drain board, and casement windows.

The previous homeowners bleached the screened interior window frames that surrounded the casement windows above the kitchen sink.

We removed the screen and left them in place as the sole window treatment, hitting a work with what you have budget friendly renovation ideas home run.

Mahogany wood windows in the home of Michael and Ally Banks were bleached in keeping with a Belgian influenced result.

I found this piece at Hobby Lobby, and the price is budget friendly renovation ideas right.

Stand out and be noticed unique is what we’re going for here, so the idea is to use the embossed medallion (36 ½” wide) as an inside mount valance.

Dressing up a window frame with pediments, decorative corbels or architectural pieces is another decorative option that will help to achieve a custom look.

7. Shed New Light On The Situation

New lighting fixtures instantly update and turn on the visual wow factor.

This is the original image I worked off of for this post, so Number 8 refers to furr-down.

8A. Places In The Home #1 Rule of Kitchen Remodels: Furr Down Be Gone!

Furr Down

A box-out at the ceiling typically 12″ high and 14″ deep. Often used for AC duct work. Kitchen cabinets are installed up to it creating a step effect. Also called a soffit or bulkhead.

I am no fan of the furr down.

Removing an ornamental furr down takes years off the life of an outdated kitchen.

Crown molding added to the tops of upper cabinets gives a finished top edge and ups the decorative ante.

10. Countertop Solutions

Studio MRS

In real estate it’s all about location, location, location.

In renovating it’s all about enhance, enhance, enhance.

Manufacturers pay very close attention to the design and decor needs and wants of the buying and renovating public, and the kitchen design industry has made huge strides in bringing to the retail marketplace affordable alternatives to expensive kitchen countertop materials.

Rust-Oleum Countertop Transformations

If the existing countertops are free of stains, marks, scratches and the like, workable with your color palette, and not overly antiquated, you may be in business.

DAICH SpreadStone Mineral Select Countertop Refinishing Kit

Countertops are the utilitarian workhorse of kitchen, and as such should be crafted from quality materials coupled with a quality look.

If a quality, style and affordability tops the list, consider replacing existing outdated and worn laminate with new laminate in new and improved pattern selections.

Laminate is back on the radar as an affordable and visually pleasing countertop and backsplash option.

Works in the kitchen, too!

Liz Caan & Co.

Painting the built-ins and the bricks is a budget friendly step in the right direction.

For the DIY decorista project pros, covering over the bricks with tile or texture project may fit the bill.

Budget friendly?

Perhaps not, but in terms of resale and style at home value it can be a justified expense.

Dalliance Design

Picture lights mounted at the center point at the top of each unit creates a stunning library effect, and wallpapering the back wall of the unit or painting in a fabulous designer color brings forth the decorative oomph in updated fashion.

Plenty of wall space to fill?

For Rent: Rental Refresh Upgrades

Today’s blog post is brought to you by the letter R for rental refresh upgrades.

The conversation of late between mama and papa Places In The Home and our son heading up to the Great White North to begin his career has revolved around rental property viewings, interiors, exteriors, accents (eh?) and scads of all things house that make a home (rented or owned) furnishings.

This is the time of year when thoughts of apartments, condos, townhomes and single-family houses for rent and rental refresh upgrades begin to take center stage in the minds of college bound students, career starting college grads and newlywed couples.

According to recent real estate and business reports, millennials trend more toward renting than buying.

The genius of internet listings, video viewings, real estate apps and Skype proves an essential tool in locating a property.

With a few clicks, well placed phone calls and virtual tours, our son has successfully rented a two story Victorian-era style home.

Now comes the fun part- the rental refresh upgrades.

He and his fiancee are currently in putting a stylish spin on his new abode mode. This is not our son’s first time at the rental rodeo.

He knows all too well renting comes with caveats, and property management firms have rules and code restrictions that must be adhered to.

Addressing the aforementioned right off the bat clearly defines the can and cannots.

Fortunately, the home owner is on board with the updates and rental refresh upgrades our son wants to do to the property.

Benjamin Moore

Fresh paint rules the rental refresh upgrade playbook.

I ran across this quote yesterday and it really hit home.

“Color is the least expensive thing to put in a house.”

—Ruthie Sommers

Color often gives the biggest return on your interior decorating investment.

Paint is an instant update and covers a multitude of previous tenant color choice sins and the scuffs, streaks and uh-ohs made when moving out.

As a housewarming gift, his fiancee’s father is painting the entire interior and key exterior areas of the house.

Going with a neutral color palette allows more breathing room in regards to accents and furnishings.

Landlords and property managers love neutral palettes, and come closer to approving the request for painting with this color choice.

My inbox is experiencing a high volume of before, during and after pictures.

It’s exciting to be in the loop, share in the progress and to be asked to be a part of the process .

Does it makes sense and cent$ to make updates and improvements to a rental property?

Absolutely!

Focus less on the fact your new residence is a rental and more on the fact that your new residence is where you call home.

All things house that make a home come together to make the out of your own pocket rental refresh upgrades worth it for the sake of your comfort, convenience and personal style touch.

So worth it rental refresh upgrades good to go as in take it with you when you go ideas range from a programmable thermostat, stylish mirrors in bathrooms, accent rugs, light switch and wall plates, cabinet knobs and pulls, new shower head(s) and focal point light fixtures to exterior walkway lighting, planter boxes and a decorative mailbox.

Renting or buying, it really is amazing how a sense of personal style, displaying objects of individual interest and decorating with accents that capture and convey your personality makes a house a home.

Hall’s Flooring

I’ll leave it there for today’s post and pick it back up with more pictures and suggestions for rental refresh upgrades.

Spring Curb Appeal Enthusiasm

Rainy April afternoons create spring curb appeal enthusiasm.

Into every April garden and flower bed a little or a lot of rain will fall, but it’s those April showers and Spring Black Friday sales that bring us one stepping stone closer to May flowers.

Updates, changes, additions and refreshes to the exterior of your home don’t have to break the bank.

The Master Bathroom Remodel Project Is Officially Completed

Change.

Change is good, but it also has the ability to drive me bonkers.

Paint color that is one shade in the can and a totally different shade on the wall also has the ability to drive me completely bats%*! crazy.

It is this kind of particular color bump in the road that brings about the decision to change a paint color.

If it doesn’t look right you do it over.

It makes the client is happy and that’s what matters.

The master bathroom remodel project is officially completed

Before images and info post is here.

What Dave the Builder lacks in the professional photographer department he more than makes up for in the professional builder/remodeling department.

The new color on the freshly repainted and completed walls is not translating well in the photos.

See what appears to be three completely different paint colors in the image below?

The wall between the tub and shower is the closest to the true color, Sherwin-Williams Renwick Beige.

From demo to prep

to master bathroom remodel project completed success.

Making things pretty and new creates a mess, but it is so worth it!

This was about the time in the master bathroom remodel project where a bit of design and decorating persuasion came into play.

Two vanities, two sinks, two faucets, two lights- you’ve got to go with two mirrors.

board

And two mirrors it is!

I purposely removed the color field out of the image below to emphasize a point to the client.

We both loved the result and selected it to print and frame.

Great space for a master bathroom walk in closet and extra linens storage.

The client requested the stained louvered doors leading into the master bedroom remain.

I requested the louvered doors leading into the walk in closet be painted to match the trim.

A win-win situation.

The inspiration and the idea for the design direction we will be going in for the master closet.

Fabulous!

Another project completed.

Attention To Detail: Bathroom Window Treatment Ideas

Finishing touches are the best friend of a big reveal. Fashion, interiors, meals- it’s all about the presentation and the attention to detail. The master bathroom remodel project is now in the detail phase, namely, bathroom window treatment ideas. My better half is not happy with the results of the final paint application, the hardware install is not quite there, and my fixation with the cloudy mirrors who could benefit greatly from a meeting with vinegar and newspaper is driving me nuts. The “it’s perfect!” point is coming into view and that’s what matters.

This master bathroom remodel project for hire is more construction remodel than interior design and decorating based. We went with 60% of the client’s choices and the client went with 40% of ours. That is 100, isn’t it? Cost and in-stock availability remain the biggest considerations behind construction and design. Some projects present the need for custom fixtures and special materials orders, and then there are the projects where the materials are just a convenient trip to the local lumber yard, building supply, paint and home improvement store away. This one falls into the latter.

While I’m waiting for paint to dry and fixtures to fix, I’m working on the finishing details. I’ve been consulted to design the window treatment for the single window in the master bathroom. The window itself is fixed and the glass is textured for privacy. The client wants a working treatment, and what the client wants…

I want to stay as true to the aesthetic and period of the house as possible, but I also want the ease of operation and look a modern treatment offers. We both agreed and narrowed it down to a roman in either jute or textured fabric. A custom tier curtain is also in the running.

corbels

I fell in love with this new but made to look old distressed piece and immediately had it or something very similar to it in mind to use as a cornice treatment.

Do you prefer curtains, blinds, shades, shutters or no window treatment at all for a bathroom window?

Project Master Bathroom Remodel

When our team completes a project success is measured by the satisfaction seal of approval from the client. If the client immediately hires you for another project it’s a pretty good indicator of job well done.

We celebrated this master bathroom remodel and the upcoming project hire with a Places In The Home remodel dance. Part safety dance, part remodel celebration boogie.

The presentation board for the master bathroom remodel captures the design and decor element the client requested.

Good bones and an even better layout, structurally speaking, removed the need to move walls and reroute plumbing. The focus was all about aesthetic updates complete with new fixtures and materials. We can certainly do that!

The first to go was the fiberglass shower and bath inserts. Mosaic tiles were used for the shower floor.

Stonefire Noce Porcelain Mosaic

The intent here is twofold- texture and palette variation of blended neutrals.

We constructed the layers of the shower pan using a vinyl membrane and concrete (technical jargon for we built a custom shower pan).

Here’s a preview of the shower progress.

We selected 12″ x 12″ ceramic tile for the flooring, bath and shower walls and shower floor.

Stonefire Beige Porcelain Tile

Moving onward and upward!
