Hi GardenHo, yes the white house in the picture is mine and the expanse of lawn used to be pasture for our horses while they were still living. The section of fence alongside the house was part of our pasture fence, and the fence that runs between the house and barn is part of the fenced yard for our dogs that opens off the kitchen. The unmowed areas in the foreground are future forested areas. Trees are growing there but are still small. I envy you your sedums. My efforts to grow them have not been successful. As with echinacea (which also doesn't want to grow here) I think my soil is too rich and they must prefer sandy soil. However I have hopes that my newly planted lobelia will be the equal of your beautiful plants by and by. Those blue flowers are lovely!

Wow ! Love your seedling .......and that group shot .......does it ever take your breath away when you stand back and look and say ...." I cant believe I am so lucky to be surrounded by so many wonderful blooms" . I often just stop and stand and look around my gardens in awe. All I do is plant and weed. Mother Nature does the rest . She is an awesome artist.

Yes it’s a real recess wall, it has lights at the back of it and the logs at the top are a bit sparse 😂 I need to find a couple smaller ones to pop in there. so unfortunately I can’t move it. I have added another plant to the fireplace. I can’t seem to get the right balance of colour and I think it’s definitely got too many photo frames. Thant’s a good point about the door and wood, I was actually thinking of a tan leather chair to the left of the sofa and lots of tan photo frames above the sofa with a tan wood picture ledge. and if it helps to balance it I Have now got a wood tan coloured keyboard in the very far part of the room and I am thinking of adding some kind of brown/cream wall decor??? like the feathered macrame??? So the brown shoul hopefully balance out a little. 🤷‍♀️

What colors are you thinking, do you have a scheme for the entire house? What are the replacement windows made of ? It could possibly work if it is part of an overall scheme, particularly because early 20th c. houses still sometimes had some polychrome color schemes. Maybe print out some of those elevations and get some rendering markers at an art store.
