Thanks, this fun to read all the idea's....You can't see in this picture, but I have a rug paintted on the porch, it has geraniums in each corner..I couldn't stand a pure white porch...I was always out there washing off the foot prints! (bad)
I been thinking of maybe a dark red door...I do have a clematis on the right side of the door, its behind the branches of that pine tree...Never did bloom..this picture was taken July 1, so thing have grown a little...
I just plantted that Cinderrella crab tree in the corner.. (to the left) in july.
I thought next year I would do the pot in the middle of the garage with a tree and little flowers spelling out of it...
OK, Sticks, can you try this, make my front door a deep red or marroon, and take away the two tall trees. I would love to see what that looks like! we have one of those tall trees at the corner of the house in that raised bed...been there forever!!! My husband just asked me how you did that!! he was walking by and said "that looks like our house almost" Love the flowers coming across like that... Thanks a bunch!
