What to do with front entry?
Comments (9)Hello You have a challenge!! Will you also have the pavers pressure cleaned when the render happens? What colour will the render be? I think you have some magnolias growing there at the front. Could they be extended across the entire front to create a hedge for the patio. The single high window is awkward, isn't it? Make it a feature by using two laser cut screens. Place them horizontally - one across the window and the other immediately below. This will allow light into the room and also create a point of interest for the front door. Use your lovely terra cotta pot in front of the screens and add another magnolia. To the left of the front door have a long, lean green wall of living plants - maybe succulents. Complete - do no more!! Cheers...See MoreFront Garden/ Entry Advice
Comments (12)Hi there the second photo I posted is to show what could be done, as you mentioned leveling the lower part of the garden. If you were to use a bobcat to push all of that soil to the top and right hand side of the garden it could be planted similar to the second photo, This would give you a bit of privacy from the street. As per the first photo large formal planters beside the driveway and large floating concrete steps beside that, plus lawn and formal garden planters close to the entrance. It would be far cheaper to keep and use the soil than to have it removed. You may need a low retaining wall below the new mounded garden cheers...See MoreShould we keep or replace our front entry door?
Comments (22)Selling a second-hand door can be quite tricky as not all doors are the same size in width, height and thickness. The market is limited to those who are happy to make a custom frame for it as it is likely that it won't fit into a standard door frame. Despite the craftsmanship I would not expect top dollar, and would let the market decide via auction, such as Ebay. Such a pity as it has so much character, is such a conversation piece, and is not a generic door.

Comments (4)It really depends on what you mean by improve? Do you mean make the front door more obvious so it stands out. Do you mean create more privacy around the front door. To me, the only issue is that there isn't a clear walkway to the front door visible from the street. You have an entrance that comes off the driveway and to the side. If you are wanting your front door to be more obvious then a simple solution would be to create a straight line pavement from the kerb to your front door for visitors and then paint the front door a contrast colour to draw attention to it. You could then put up a privacy screen across the front of the house using the existing pergola. That will give you a more prominent front door. But otherwise the arrangement is pretty good as it is. It suits your style of house....See More- 5 months ago
