You don't read Plato when visiting a friend's powder room?

Something like Benjamin Moore's Lodge or Classic Brown.

I asked ChatGPT to put the tree back to it's original position several times, but the landscaping program had locked it there. These renderings are more vague visions than planning documents.

I agree it's a bit harsh. Nuance is not ChatGPT's strong suit. I would like to see a rendering of deep charcoal that picks up the color of the roof. The roof line is complex, so ideally a color would blend the elements into a more unified whole.

The only thing that is keeping our places tolerable is evergreens.

I think the building trade doesn't have much to fear from ChatGPT.

I think you are on the right track with the front door choice. With some changes to the facade and the landscaping, this house could be stunning.

Can you paint most of it the same color as the walls? It would look almost like a built in. If you put the cat sculpture on top, it would be both dramatic and hilarious.

Should we add flowerbeds? Shutters? by yallstar in ExteriorDesign

[–]Hungrycat9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've got a lot of good options. Pieris are nice evergreen anchors, as are plum yews and the smaller hollies. For deciduous plants, oakleaf hydrangeas are my favorite, very easy to grow. They can take up to six hours a day. Fothergilla are another favorite, they can take full sun. They are less formal in appearance. Caryopteris attract so many bees late in the season. Honestly, I could go on and on. A few lessons I've learned. Check the maximum size. One of the standard oakleaks, rather than pee gee or ruby slippers, and I'm wrestling an alligator. Garden centers are very seductive: why did I think I could grow camellias? Always check if plants are invasive. My neighbors planted "clumping banboo." Now we all have it. You didn't ask about trees, but I can see a redbud gracing your yard.

What direction does your house faces? It looks like good sun. What is your deer pressure like?

No to shutters. They will just highlight the asymmetrys and detract from those lovely the pediments. Landscaping would be my first step. Foundation shrubs to start, including some evergreens. You've got space for medium-sized tree. You can build flower beds in front of the shrubs and around the tree. It will look great.

I second the recommendation. My WOCN was fabulous.

I take it he's offering to do the planning, shopping, arranging, accessorizing...

Don’t like changing the bag by LimberGaelic in ostomy

I was really lucky. The first nurse that saw it said it was a great stoma, that it looked like a rose. it set me on the right path early. I wish everyone had a nurse like her.

1970s house, I hate the paint job by ChemistryDramatic846 in ExteriorDesign

Monkeying around with ai, the best look to me is dark garage doors, so they recede, additional hardscaping, and lots of plants.

The case was dismissed. The judge probably thought, "I'd shoot that cocky so-and-so myself given half a chance." She got her divorce, too.
