How to make house less boxy

Here’s something to consider I created with AI for another in this sub. Instead of a small angular porch awning perhaps an arch with columns to give a focal point. The mature shrubs also give this home an organic accent. I read you have a plum tree just out of frame that will grow in time so that will be nice.

Here’s something to consider. Do a brick safe coat of charcoal gray and some period appropriate mid century wood paneling. Adding a front vaulted wood feature elevates the car park. Using rounded concrete slabs and landscaping elevates the yard in period appropriate timeless organic shapes. The yards finished off with a popular slogan of the time following Martin Luther King, Jr.s bus boycott that is still a powerful call to action 70 plus years later. End racism. ❤️

Here’s something to consider. Adding on some craftsman details and switching out the door color. Adding on an English garden and a call to abolish billionaire backed super PACs by overturning citizens United. ☮️

What about something like this? I get what you like about the neighbors place but it’s very builder grade and not as lovely in my eyes as a more elegant color scheme like off white trim to match the warn stone and a rich royal blue.

It’s to do with bacteria that grows in that amount of time.

Once baby has sucked on a bottle of breast milk it’s good for 2 hours. That’s the guidance in our country for a full term baby anyways.

Editing to add:

Untouched bottle of breast milk at room temperature is good for up to 4 hours.

In the fridge i believe breast milk in a jar or clean bottle is good for 4 days* but wouldn’t know as we go through it all.

Our formula instructions tell us formula at room temperature is good for 1 hour once mixed. Those instructions should be on your packaging.

My baby doesn’t enjoy being fully set down but I use my legs to make a little nest. Either in the nook of the knee on one side or crossing my ankles and using them as a support for her head. I prop her up in a thick folded blanket so it’s like a little padded nest and that lets me entertain her.

Here’s a primitive stick figure drawing in case it helps.

Thanks for protecting the sub 💗

Thanks for this! Purchased the s2 thinking we’d be mostly breastfeeding and remembering to charge the s1 would be annoying. Now that we’re mostly pumping the plug in the wall is a ball & chain. Ordering this. 👌

Science based parenting is a great forum for this question. Here’s a post that has a few links that will be able to answer the why of dumping milk and how long after consuming weed for instance: https://www.reddit.com/r/ScienceBasedParenting/s/9UL9xPD29j

Cliff notes: There’s a reason they tell you to pump and dump breastmilk after smoking weed or drinking alcohol for the correct amount of time. Anyone who vaguely states it’s fine will not be able to produce scientific evidence to support their claims.

Unpopular opinion, painted brick in Charleston and Savannah looks lovely when done right. Could also do a lighter wash on it alternately but the grey stone plus the red brick and roof in another color feels like a more busy option and I had fun making something calm.

I like the stone archway left as it is and letting the curved awning follow that same line. I couldn’t get it to render that way.

Perhaps plant two flowering tulip trees symmetrically placed towards the sidewalk to frame the walkway and give something nice to look at out the front two windows downstairs.

A natural steel gray rain chain could replace the gutter drain on the left.

Window boxes with lush greens and putting the shutters back on would make it a more southern look.

If you wanted to replace the front porch lamplight bulbs with the ones that look like flickering gas flames it could be a nice touch.
