It may seem tedious, hard, and unnecessary to move these plants, although most gardeners enjoy re-arranging to improve their garden's function and appearance. Most hate trying to move or rip out the mistake of previous owners, mistakes which sometimes then reveal damage. Because these plants are still manageable, this situation can be set right. Once done, you will be again at the point of considering next steps toward the goal of eventually having very little upkeep to handle. You will have lost nothing and gained several benefits: Protection of your home. Healthier plants. Better looking in terms of appropriate rather than crowded spacing. You will still have: Same plants. Screening of windows. And there are psychological and physical benefits: Lowered anxiety about whether the paint job and wood will deteriorate due to those pieris. Spring exercise planting your beautiful shrubs. Self-esteem up because you've gained knowledge and improved something wisely. Yes, you calculated the spacing, but forgot to calculate appropriate distance from building. Also, a shrub doesn't reach a certain number and then say to itself, "I'm 5 feet tall and wide now. I better stop or the shrub police will come and get me." Shrubs are living and, unlike humans, continue to gain height and width throughout their lives. I think the size ranges are estimated for 5 to 10 years?, but the shrubs don't know that and they will keep growing. What's to lose here? Re-planting 3 shrubs? Ah, c'mon! If I lived closer, I'd come by and help! Wellspring

I don't think that porch was meant for seating. You could do just a bench as wide as the window, A large plant to right of the door. OR do a flower box

Can't tell from this photo the position of your trees. Are they both out in the lawn or just one of them? BTW the paint on your front door is too creamy. It would look better if it matched the trim on the windows. I always like establishing beds around the base of trees or placing them next to sideways and drives to soften the severity of the straight line of concrete or pavers.

@yourchigirl Thank you for that advise and sorry for taking so long to respond! I hadn't considered centering the credenza offset on the wall section beside the window, but I like it. Another option... instead of keeping the credenza behind the desk (which pulls it more into the center of the room) might be to put them on adjacent walls. If credenza stays and desk is turned 90* to face the window it can be set closer to the 10' wall so that the back bookcase will still be seen although not straight on from the entrance. Like this... Not sure if the tall bookcase would really be necessary with this setup. Maybe just move the floor lamp to the front right corner instead of the back?
