Hi Kristine, I think we are looking at 'Cistus' for the yellow and white flower, 'Perovskia - Blue Spire' (yet to flower) for the tall green-spikey perennial behind the Cistus and 'Salvia caradonna' for the purple spires. I hope that helps. :-)

Hi Kristine, Forest Eyes is correct! The Cistus is 'Jenkyn Place' and there is also Nepeta faasenii, Sisyrinchium striatum and white Alliums in the border too.

I agree with Carolyn - a new coat of paint can make a world of difference. There's really not too much about the house that 'screams' a certain decade - so you're luckier than lots of us. I hate that teracotta colour on the gable ends personally, and I think that would be good to paint out. I would consider painting al the bits that are currently white a darker more serious colour (grey, taupe etc) and then paint the trim and the entry ceiling white. Also consider painting the roof - as it is a big element and teracotta tile colour doesn't always work with your colour scheme. If you want to make some more permanent changes, you could consider filling in the gable roof lines so they become box gables - and I agree with Carolyn that the entrance roof looks like it is missing a column on the left side.

Instead of worrying about the shape of the centerpiece, find something you really love that you that you think would work there. Don't become overly concerned with following some arbitrary design rules to the point you allow them to prevent you from going with things that suit your personality and that you love.

It looks very sad. Do you keep it outside or inside? I would repot it with good quality potting mix in a larger pot that drains freely (don't reuse the soil that it's currently in). Water in with a seaweed solution/water mixture to reduce shock. Spray with white oil to treat the mites, do this once a week until they are gone. Before you spray cut off any affected leaves and dispose of them away from the plant. Make sure it's watered regularly and use a soil wetter. Position in morning sun outside. Once it perks up apply a citrus fertiliser as per the mftr instructions. Good luck!

Hi Dagobert Duck (interesting name), I am assuming that this is a townhouse in Asia, as you mention the dry kitchen and wet kitchen (terms used mostly in Singapore) and also from the visible lift on the plan that you shared. I would definitly advice you to keep the dry kitchen and place the dining table close to the dry kitchen or close to the bay window on the left. The space here is rather large and can easily accommodate a regular 2 metre table with 8 chairs. If you are concerned about the view of dining table as you enter the house, you could always place a round table near the entrance to block off the view. I agree with Elaine about placing the furniture away from walls. Place a bunch of fresh flowers or art/sculpture above the round table like in a hotel entrance. So the the first view you see when you enter the house is the table with flowers. Its difficult to give you any further advice as we have no idea what your final vision of the place is? Feel free to contact us in Singapore if you need further advice? Hope you will have the home of your dreams soon.
