Which of these should I pick to order?

15 years ago

I'm ordering from ARen't I Pretty and I've changed my order twice already. They aren't shipping out till next month so they don't seem at all bothered by my crazyness.

These are the ones I'm for sure ordering (I think):

WHITE CRINOLINE

TANGERINE HORSES

AUTUMN WOOD

ELIZABETH SALTER

ABSOLUTE TREASURE

SILOAM DOUBLE CLASSIC

SEMINOLE WIND

PALLADIAN PINK

RAINBOW RADIANCE

And these are the ones I can't decide on and need your help:

MAGGIE

SABRA'S PRINCE

SPLENDID TOUCH

CATHERINE FOLKER

PINK DEBUTANTE

ARCADIA PLANTATION

Any help in deciding would be VERY appreciated and pictures are always helpful. I'd like to pick only 2 from the 2nd list but feel free to recommend 3 or 4 even. On the first list you may comment as well if there are any that aren't "winners".

Thanks so much!

I only have one on your list, which has not bloomed for me since last year... but that is because I put it in TOO much shade: Palladian Pink. It was recommended to me that it be put in light shade, because it will melt on a hot day. My bushes got bigger than I thought and light shade turned into deep shade... Anyway, just a warning on that one.

The only other one I know anything about is ABSOLUTE TREASURE, I have seen in rust surveys that it is VERY suceptable to rust.

Nevermind, I spoke with the owner (very nice lady) and she helped me pick and I chose Arcadia Plantation and Splendid Touch. Please still feel free to comment on any of them, but I don't want to hear anything negative at this point. (LOL)

I'd go with the nailhead chair! Absolutely! It has more style to it. For host chairs I'd do something with an arm and with a different color/patterned fabric. Maybe bring out a color from your artwork onto the host chairs. Bring in a rug with texture to add warmth and it makes the room feel layered. For the windows I'd do a simple pair of pretty panels. One panel on each window closest to the wall. Bring them up to the bottom of the moulding for height and have the rod go the entire length of the window. (example below) Good Luck!

Folks, which color should i pick for floors?

I like dark floors.... Feels more grounded. They can be harder to keep looking dust-free, so if that's a concern for you, then don't listen to me at all, lol. The glazed cabinets are really nice (I'm totally drooling over here), and I can't help but want to go as dark as you can on the floor, to coordinate with the darker lines on the cabs. I like contrast, though, between floor and cabinets (and again between cabs and counter)... Seems most folks like to blend. :-D If my monitor is properly color-calibrated, I see a lovely green in your counters, and if your backsplash is also green, then I'm all for it! I even zoomed as far out as I could on my screen, so that I could see everything together. Looks beautiful! What color grout are you going with on the backsplash? Warm beige?

How large is the space and how many do you typically seat to watch TV? How about when you entertain? How far is it from the end of the fireplace to the window wall? Usually it works for us to divide a long room into two zones. But not necessarily with a sectional. & I'd never put a TV over that fireplace.

Sonam, you are probably correct on the size. Rugs make a jump in price once you go over 8x10. If you are concerned about color or quality, you can always order a small size rug to check for both. Then if you have to return it the cost and effort is minimal. Dragging around an 8x10 is like carting a dead body. LOL
