Hallway + Bath + Kitchen + laundry = 200. I have no problem believing that.
Disagree. Could there not be a better arrangement? Looks more like weedy overgrowth than improvement.
Please post pictures of your preferred call-box plantings.
Forest for the trees, brother.
Lame comment Design Team.
Fair point. The box at 16th and Park (1592 Park Rd NW on Google Maps gets you close) is great. It’s painted, and there is a little sculpture inset the box which is rather interesting. Small details, but good details.
I like the plants but wish someone would paint the callbox. It’s really drab and depressing.
I agree, paint would add a nice touch to the plants.
Ah, you people are too picky. It’s a huge improvement! Now come do the one on my block
I’ve painted one of these before. So anyone who is wondering whether or how to do it, just buy a pint of some color of rustoleum at Home Depot for about $10 and paint it on. You’ll have plenty of paint to spare. Also, the cops drove by me several times and saw what I was doing and said nothing so I don’t think you have to fear the city complaining.
The one on the corner of First/V St. NW is looking really good! After housing various small plants (a cactus, fern, small fir tree) and graffiti, a V St. neighbor has painted it and added some nice plants. Will send in a photo one of these days.
I pass this arrangement often and it always cheers me up.
