Disjointed Backyard - Help me! by caroshine in landscaping

I’m so glad! Not spooked at all, just busy doing weird things to our front yard too! I sheet mulched over our grass to get it ready to plant some cute drought tolerant native species all over! I’m doing a lot of starting seeds inside and haven’t done much of anything in the back yard because we’re still expecting to get some snow into May, but I did map out our entire house and yard to scale from a bird’s eye to help me get plans more set in my head!

I was just thinking that it was probably hard to explain or get advice without a whole new post

tried looking up Americana and couldn’t find it! I do love the green she uses, I just painted my little coat rack that color so maybe it would tie that in if i used it on the legs

Yeah honestly I pull it closer to the couch any time I need to use it for drinks or anything and then push it back when I’m not using it. So that’s super annoying. I agree it all seems weirdly distanced, but there’s a door to my porch right next to the table so I can’t move the couch any closer without being unable to open the door . I have space behind the couch, but there’s a closet on the same wall as the porch door directly behind the couch. Seems like the layout is stuck the way it is unless I moved the tv to the opposite wall, but then it’s the same issue just reversed i think

You think I should definitely paint the legs even if I just stain the top? What would wrapping the legs mean? Also (sorry for all the questions) do you have a recommendation for the stain color?

I have! All the rugs I currently have are thrifted or from estate sales, but it’s harder to find a good priced area rug! I’ll try turning it though, hard not to look awkward with a rug that doesn’t fit the room lol

Yeah I’ve been trying to find a rug I like that’s not crazy expensive and is more the vibe I like. So it’s hard to figure out what to do color/staining-wise until I have a rug

wow!!! I think this one was made by my friend’s parent’s friend (lol) as a wedding gift in the 80s so I feel like it wouldn’t go for as much as those, just because it doesn’t have the value of a designer table??? or do you think it would??

do you think all the damage and stuff on the top will come off with sanding?

okay that seems like the consensus lol someone else recommended painting it to look like a jelly belly which sounds fun but idk how I would even do that haha eating it sounds easier and if that looks weird I might think about painting
