Plant standard bay trees and under plant with buxus sempervirens or lavandula munstead. Have up-lighters behind stems of bay trees to give silhouette and hints of the blue lavandula at night (please remember to use low lighting! its meant to be subtle) . It would be best to paint fence same colour as house to tie everything in. Regards

It looks very Moroccan, that said why not paint inner area cobalt blue and door white, paint the narrow wall on inside of arch deep purple. I would also change the glass in the door for opaque glass and have some metal work in each frame.

Oh and instead of having 2 separate curtains, you should have one pair and make sure they are full length too.

Must have been one messed up architect who dreamed that room up. On the plus side you have the oval office in your house, I would paint the walls snow white, have rich wine carpet on the floor and a decent light. The angular wall I would paint in royal navy. You have to change that door though! Awful, maybe a shaker style but Georgian doesn't work at all.

Oh and for all the "PC" people get a life, let your hair down and stop being so uptight all the time. Life is short, enjoy it and stop worrying so much. Furthermore I would rather not have the "thought" police tell me how or what I should think. As for my comment re "crazies" I still stand over it. Some people are just that "crazy". Its not an insult on people with mental illness. We are all a little crazy at times, well all I can finish with is " political correctness gone mad"

Well maybe the person who warned you was crazy..too
Well maybe the guy is crazy.
That is 2 crazies! Then again they could be nice, but odds on one is crazy. That said do you want to live beside either crazy lady or crazy man?

I had to sell my house cause of neighbours from hell, sure my house was nice and cute and all that stuff, but the sickening thing was I too was warned, but did I listen.. No.. I new best, surely they cant be that bad?? Well the devil lived next door along with his evil wife. I tried to be nice, but I just gave up in the end.

Ok. You have to think Japanese. That is use bed rooms as just that "somewhere to sleep". Bed rooms don't have to be filled with stuff just a bed. this would enable you to make the bedrooms smaller thus freeing up space for living space. As your children get older they could move into bunk beds. If you actually look at all your belonging you will realise that most of its necessary. Download sketchup from google "its free" its a great design program and it will allow you to play around with the space without costing you a penny. HM

Ok here is my field of expertise, I am a landscape gardener. We come across this a lot, that is; people requiring privacy.
We use standard bay trees (www.lavin.ie) you can see them in our home page. We also use pleached lime trees (no pictures up on web page yet), they had a clear stem of seven feet and a canopy of five in height, nine feet wide and usually about 1-2 feet deep. There is some work in maintaining them, but well worth the afford. For best effect use tree anchors and not tree stakes to hold trees in place. Google "pleached limes".
