Barry, have you been able to smell that wonderful scent p. Incense has? That is a great B.D. present! I just love walking by mine and also love the way the perfume wafers into my home when the door is opened. It's true that p. Incense has the habit of sprouting all over the place, but like you, I just think the bloom is so beautiful that I put up with it's rampant spreading. I either pull the sprouts out or just mow them over, but still have several vines growing up in different places. I plan to start one in a large pot and try to control the roots that way.

I would pass on the rug. It is pretty, but I don't like it in combination with the plaid sofa. Pretty tables - I would scootch them closer to the sofa. Love the lamps and the wall color. I would think about moving the picture to the left and then adding two things (pictures or something else), one over the other so that they take up the same space in height as the picture. (As in your before picture.) The goal is to fill the space above the sofa so that 3/4 to 7/8 of the space is filled up. Adding something on each side of the picture will work, but IMO is too staid for the comfy, informal look you have going.

Update -- right after I had posted that I was able to order three of the digital albums (on August 29), I got a confirmation e-mail from QVC saying that I had, indeed, ordered and would receive three. On August 30 I received an e-mail from QVC with the subject line "QVC: Your Order(s) Has Shipped." But, it showed only one item as having been shipped. Then, on September 2 I received another e-mail from QVC with the same "Shipped" subject line, showing that the other two items have shipped. I received the first one on Wednesday or Thursday (I think -- I put it aside and didn't open it so now I'm not sure what day it arrived). I just now got around to opening the box. This is so cool!! It has a nice weight -- not too heavy to be kept in a purse, but not lightweight/flimsy. And it's a really pretty shade of pink, too. :-) I told my sister that I had ordered this for my niece (her daughter), but didn't tell her that I had ordered one for her, too. I just called her and asked her to e-mail me some more photos of the baby, so I can load them onto the device before I send it to my niece. Little does she know that I'll load them onto hers, too! I just checked QVC and the item is available -- the pink and the silver can be ordered, but it says "Available On Waitlist." The blue (looks like a pretty shade of blue, too), is in stock.
