It appears to be an Echeveria, but I'm not sure what kind. It is very etiolated (stretched) from trying to reach light in Walmart. As you already know, it has suffered from soggy soil. That's what caused most of the leaf drop. It likely lost much of the healthy root ball to rot also. It looks like it was there a long time, but you have rescued it, and I think you can get it back on its feet. Here's what if suggest: Pot size & type: 3"-4" plastic pot. Maybe the pot it came in. It'll be small enough, and it'll have drain holes. A larger pot will contain too much soil, and too much soil means it'll stay wet too long, and desert plants don't handle wet soil well. Planting medium: If you're going to add your own perlite, Cactus and Succulent mix isn't neccessary. It's usually the same as regular potting soil with a little extra perlite in it- not enough to matter. Mix it with an equal amount of perlite, which you can find right next to it on the shelf at Home Depot. Water: Water only when the top 1/3 to 1/2 of the soil is dry. You have to stick your finger in it every time because it won't always dry at the same rate depending on humidity, sunshine, sir movement, and whether it's actively growing or it's dormant. Sun: It desperately needs sun, but it's been shaded so long that it can burn if it's out too long. Start with about an hour or two of direct sun daily, and over the next few weeks increase it by an hour or two weekly. In the meantime, get it into a window with as much bright, indirect light as possible. Don't worry about the windowsill being cold just yet. Desert plants handle cold better than tropical plants. When the glass gets very cold, the leaves that touch it will get dead spots, so be careful. If you can set it outside, it'll be okay until the first frost. Temperature: Sunshine and correct moisture are much more important to Echeveria than temperature. Newbies often think desert plants must be warm all the time, but they don't. Deserts are dry and sunny, and often quite cold. Fertilizer: Never (soil usually has enough in it already for succulents), or twice a year with 1/4 strength, but if you repot it often enough (to keep the pot barely big enough for it) it'll get what it needs from the new soil each time. Right now- it will need some water. Be conservative since you have a poor mix and no drain hole, but you must water it. If you don't, the existing roots will die back and it'll have no way to absorb water when you do water it, and then it will rot. I'd recommend a spray bottle set to "stream" and squirt some streams of water right down into the mix near the roots. Hopefully that mix isn't too hydrophobic to absorb and disperse the little water you give it. This plant will do most of its growing in the fall and spring. It'll be dormant in tje hottest part of the summer and coldest part of the winter. It'll need more water when it's growing, and it will be less tolerant of too much water when it's dormant. If it isn't growing, don't be fooled into thinking water is the key.

Hi everyone. We did an entire condo gut in Florida. They came to install the kitchen and bath granite finally last Wednesday night to finish a job started on Tuesday. They had to come back because the brought the wrong sink with them the first day. We ordered a super single rounded bottom corner sink as we were told it would be easier for my mom to keep clean as she has failing eyesight. Instead they brought a sharp corner split sink. We were forced to accept a large single sharp corner (forgive me I don't know the "real" name for them) as the sink we wanted would not fit. We are unhappy with the seams around the sink as well as a large chip and roughness next to the slide in oven. It appears to be some sort of epoxy they used to fix the chip but it is lifeless, one color and looks like cement. In addition, I am wondering if the change in sink is why there is such a large seam around the sink? And, should the granite be so scratchy and dull? Any advice would be so helpful!

@BeverlyFLADeziner I am liking that! Any suggestions on a blue paint color? Thoughts on if this rug could be placed in the room? (Pic of our current family room) or too much blue? https://www.potterybarn.com/m/products/bosworth-tufted-wool-rug-blue/?cm_cat=Google&sku=9076063&catalogId=84&cm_ite=9076063&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI0cX79KG96AIVOv_jBx1m0gEnEAQYASABEgLD-_D_BwE&cm_ven=PLA&cm_pla=Rugs > Patterned Rugs Any chance you could make fireplace maple again but keep everything else blue? I like the idea of keeping that to tie in to kitchen. Thank you!!

The current room has no color and I think adding the blue you love in art, area rugs, upholstered furnishings and décor items can bring this room to life. The wall with the hutch feels a bit crowded to me. I would probably move the plant either to the window side of the wall or move it into the living room. Move the tall hutch closer to where the plant is now. I would remove the painting and mirror and get a new piece of art for over the sideboard. Art is very personal, so I tend not to advise people on what they should get, but I would like to see something with a bit more life than the two paintings you have. I always loved going to the Wyland gallary and looking through the seascapes from him and the other artists he chose to exhibit. ( James Coleman, William DeShazo, Walfrido Garcia, Scott Hanson, Guy Harvey, Dan Mackin, Michael Maiden, Noelito , John Pitre, Steven Power, Kim Taylor Reece, Tracy Taylor, Jim Warren ) And then I would do coordinated area carpets (not matching) with blues and runners. Get a lighter colored sofa and two upholstered chairs. Maybe a patterned rug in one of the two rooms and a more solid in the other. You may prefer softer blues A few pieces of blue decor (Vases, planters, throw pillows and you will have a stunning space.
