You might get more replies if you post this under another section. I think there is even a section for seed swaping in the garden forum. :)

Here's the floor plan. Good job on the measurements. Keep an open mind on the furniture arrangement. The nice thing about furniture is that it can be moved around. lol. Consider a console cabinet with the mirror over it, where the two wing chairs are now. It will create a much needed entrance console for mail, keys etc. Trying to squish your furniture in that space doesn't look comfortable. Turn the sofa facing the sliding door with the tv on the right of the sliders. Take a look at the tv easels at Restoration Hardware. Or you can mount the tv to the wall. https://www.restorationhardware.com/search/results.jsp?Ntt=tv%20easel  Paint the wall with the sliders with the curtains to match so the wall reads as one unit. Terracotta looks beautiful with dark blue. Or natural linen curtains, taupe sliding door wall, zinc and pale green accents, with teak wood accessories. Move your tv console on to the wall where the sofa is now towards the end of the wall. Mount art ledges or hang one very big painting. The rug in the room is 9 x 12 which will visually define the space much larger than it appears now. That will be your color inspiration for the wall and curtains.

Hello - I have a few plants that I have desperately been trying to acquire via seed/cutting, but have had little success. Would anybody have one or more of the following? (I'll swap or send cash in mail for specimen!) I live in Los Angeles, if anybody is local. Hoya curtisii Hoya odorata Hoya lacunosa Hoya carnosa Randia ruiziana Aristolochia gigantea (or any other for that matter) Nicotiana tabacum Stephanotis floribunda Akebia quinata I have seeds to exchange if interested as well! Thank you!

Hi mostlymoss- The orange LeCreuset goes very well with the eggplant color of your dining room and the soon to arrive lavender color and the green of the plants, and the mustardy color of your walls. I think you should keep with that color scheme and not introduce any more colors in a wall paper. What you can do is have a window seat cushion made that incorporates any or all of those colors, with welting that picks up the coordinating colors, and have big fat cushions for it in the coordinating colors (or prints) in the colors. You can do the same for the colors of your your mixer cover, your mat in front of the sink, your dish towel, and what ever other fabrics you have. You just don't want them all to be identical, because that is too matchy-matchy. I like how you seasonally decorate with the orange pumpkins to carry the orange look, and other times of the year you can use other flowers in the orange and purple family too. The coleus plant comes in shades of purple too, and is so, so easy to propagate, and come is a busy, hanging form as well.. I do agree with Beth H about replacing the muffin top light above your sink. I do like the school house fixture look very much and it comes as a pendant, too. I like that also because you don't see the bulb which is less glare for my eyes. Here are some color charts for you- I don't know why the yellow one came out so small, sorry.
