Beauty is in the Iris of the Beholder...help!

Something else that I meant to bring up that you need to have him do. I see a big crack in the basement wall on the left side of the steps. This is a major cold air issue in the winter and now would be a great time to get some concrete and fix it.

Plus, repainting the basement walls themselves will also help show off your new plants to their best advantage.

You could go light gray on the basement walls and dark gray on the steps. The lighter color will really let your plants pop. And any blooming plants will show up much better.

Yes I did see the broken cement in the basement wall, and this is yet another issue that we are going to deal with. Well I should say that I will deal with, because he is very stubborn when it comes to doing things around the house.

Though I do plan on getting the hole fixed. Now as for the colors for the basement wall and the steps, well apparently he is only willing to go with the brown colors.

I don't like that idea, but it is his choice. I guess as long as these problems are fixed, I really shouldn't care about his color choices.
