All Clematis in your zone are going to drop their leaves for winter and they all require pruning at least for the first few years. Nelly Moser and many of the other Type II light pinks/white striped do well in shaded areas.

Ah, gotcha. I misunderstood. I still do like those rooms and would consider them inspirational, at least partly. I am working around a few constraints for the room so maybe that accounts for the differences? - I need to find a chandelier that has a single round canopy, due to the way our ceiling is. In searching for a chandelier, it's been hard to find something that I think works with the room and has a single round canopy. - I really like the paned mirror in the first inspo room, but I'm looking to put one of those in the foyer. - I would like to find an affordable table that looks like the first inspo pic. I'm searching a local store's inventory for the table and chairs to find something we could potentially really get (and afford) instead of incorporating a picture of the *perfect* table that I don't know the make/price of. - I would also like to use parsons chairs for all of the seats, but I already have two and doubt I'd be able to match them easily to another 6. I think a contrasting chair type would be a better fit because of that. In the second insp pic I like how the room is generally neutral but has subtle color to it. I like the lantern light fixtures in that room but realize they won't work for my space. I also like the artwork in the room and I could use something like in my room in place of the circular mirrors. For my room, I knew I wanted to find a rug with a neutral base that had a few bits of accent color. The accent colors in the rug shown in the mock-up might be more vivid than I pictured in my mind, but I think they work. I also like the idea of an oriental rug that's not so traditional. I hope that helps explain?!? Maybe those rooms aren't exact inspirations. I'm still on the lookout for room designs to help guide me. My unusual dining room doesn't make it easy to compare online dining rooms to my own.

I would paint them the same color, if I had some of the same paint - did they leave you any? What color frames do your photographs have? Stainless steel would look good, or bleached maple or birch, but I would avoid black for a black wall. What color mats are used with the photos?

and,,,lmao. yeah, aubrey and bristol are quite the team. he and his crew do all of the work, and she finds these incredible deals on cabs, countertops and tile. like, really incredible deals. their cabs usually cost under 3K, and they spray them all for painting. She's a little over the top on her design, but it is Vegas! they work on similar homes w/kitchens just like yours. watch some of the episodes and see if you can get any pointers Look at season 3 Bachelor Pad. (scroll down to the short videos) It's similar to yours. https://www.hgtv.com/shows/flip-or-flop-vegas
