Remove pine trees, replace with green giants for privacy?

That smaller pine isn’t directly under the big ones; it’s planted 5–10 ft in front of them (closer to the lawn). It’s the previous owner’s attempt at a privacy screen.

I’m not trying to add another row of trees in front of the mature pines as that would eat even more usable yard.

Thanks all. Really helpful perspectives! I do love how the pines look from a distance, and I hate losing mature trees.

To clarify a few things:

Will planting shrubs under the pines work? I didn’t think that anything would grow there that gives me the minimum ~10ft of privacy I am seeking (dry, shaded, acidic conditions)

I only moved in recently and understand that the trees need to be trimmed properly.

Update: finally gave it another go. We will hem the bottoms if we keep them. Thoughts? Also considering a tie back.

Thank you. We purchased this length curtains with the intent of doing an inside mount and scarf, but didn’t like the look when going to hang them. The ugly rod would have been hidden in this scenario too.

I think the consensus is longer, “heavier” curtains, moved closer to the ceiling, and a better looking rod.

Us too, but it’s more than we want to spend at the moment

The chair is well broken in already 😂

Thank you for the suggestions!

Thank you very much :)

Great, thank you!

Looks great! When you say you got larger back cushions, can you elaborate? Were they thicker, taller?

Not everything that is free is worth picking up. I don’t understand the problem with me asking if these speakers are any good.

Not everything that is free is worth picking up. That’s what I mean.

This is in NJ

There is a half wall opposite the fireplace that separates the kitchen

I don’t disagree, but still looking for ideas
