But now that I've gardened this garden, I say ... GO FOR IT. It is only grass.

Like wrenna mentioned there is a lot of free software that helps you with the design.<BR/><BR/>But painting on it with a program like you did the white trim is also helpful.MrBrownThumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11326733084344581944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864781849969727346.post-77129400836915689732007-09-20T15:30:00.000-07:002007-09-20T15:30:00.000-07:00I think the shutters and window box would make you...I think the shutters and window box would make your house look more cottage-y, especially painted white along with the trim. <BR/>As for your new beds, maybe you can think of it this way.....grass is soooo ordinary and boring! But a lovely border of flowers and ornamentals can be a unique expression of YOU! It's like a palette that you can change seasonally. Go for it, Girl!Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15539232387597508849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864781849969727346.post-75715903919604242602007-09-20T11:21:00.000-07:002007-09-20T11:21:00.000-07:00The changes you are considering to the house look ...The changes you are considering to the house look good. Just dive in there & make some garden. If you have to change it later, so what? Gardeners often change the shape & size of a bed, often as a result of too many impulse plant buys.Mr. McGregor's Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911409327006498766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864781849969727346.post-37283249278651785502007-09-19T23:17:00.000-07:002007-09-19T23:17:00.000-07:00I'm glad you have a friend to help you with the fi...I'm glad you have a friend to help you with the first steps. Eventually, you'll feel more confident and be able to make those decisions easier.<BR/><BR/>I really like your ideas for sprucing up the front of your house. It would give it some much needed character. Love the shutters and windowbox - they are winners. Possibly they could be a matching color??? Keep us posted on your new gardening and house venture.Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15806756079227306837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864781849969727346.post-41931727140645568432007-09-19T22:13:00.000-07:002007-09-19T22:13:00.000-07:00Forgot to say, don't be afraid of doing it wrong. ...Forgot to say, don't be afraid of doing it wrong. Everyone does something wrong.
