Landscaping design with neighbor's garage
Comments (10)I agree with the others - ask your neighbor about painting the side of the garage that faces your yard. Depending on your style of decor, you can treat this as a part of your yard and change the appearance completely. Consider a low fence to separate your yard from the street/driveway, something similar to the red fence shown, to provide you a smaller "room" for entertaining. I live in an area where the side of the neighbors house defines the property line and have decorated the side of the neighbors house with various items to break up the expanse of wall (old window frames with the glass missing, sections of old iron fences, bird houses, etc); it really helps to cozy up the space. A trench filled with gravel and topped with larger rocks will help with the water issue and direct the water to other areas of the yard. A brick or paver patio would be lovely for establishing a conversation/grill area. The pictures submitted by PC have some great ideas. I can't recommend plants since I have not idea what part of the country you are located in...See MoreBedroom furnishing
Comments (1)Hi Ellie, You may wish to consider a painted brick wall! The white brick finish is playful and stylish. And since it's a painted finish, it has the added advantage of being able to go over the recessed walls and ducting, to ensure a cohesive look.

Comments (7)Well, they aren't wrong about plants competing with you for oxygen, but research have definitely shown that there are in fact plants that are recommended to be placed beside your beds for better sleep! Air purifying plants not only absorb odours and moulds that can impact breathing and lung health, they also beautify your place and makes you feel at ease ;) Plants recommended for aiding sleep includes jasmine, lavender, snake plant, aloe vera, spider plant, english ivy, peace lily and golden pothos (money plant, as recommended above). They are also shade-loving plants, thus are most suitable for bedrooms. One of the convenience of having plants in your bedroom, in my opinion, is that they benefit from air-conditioning! I do have marble queen pothos, philodendrons, snake plants and peperomias right beside my bed and I probably only water them once every week (some even lesser than that!). It really shows that you don't necessarily have to water them daily ;)...See MoreDecor of entryway
