I have several of these roses. First, Pear d'Or is more of an apricot/pink, probably more apricot than pink. It, so far for me, has been a nice rose and just borderline for a pot. Bonica is gorgeous, full, constantly blooming, wonderful pink color but in my garden way to large for a pot. Bonica I also like Sharifa Asma and so far is just borderline size for a nice sized pot. I'm afraid that this rose too, might get to large (at least in my garden). This rose is gorgeous and extremely fragrant though. Mine's still young, only a year old. So, for my suggestions, at least of the ones mentioned that I grow, I have to also suggest Our Lady of Guadalupe. This one stays nice and compact, is in constant bloom, has a nice pink color and fragrance. You could also try Pink Gruss an Aachen. It's surprisingly compact and nice rose. The pink is slightly bolder than OLG but a nice pink, not garrish, and the blooms are much fuller. The plant is thornless or nearly so. In my garden, however, it doesn't bloom quite as well as OLG but might do better in a pot. Mine is in the ground. Our Lady of Guadalupe

I'm not an architect or a designer ....just a lowly poster but something about the stone on the bottom and the weightiness. I could be totally off. Maybe one of the architects here or designers will weigh in on the columns. i chose my stone first. Then I chose my siding color to complement the stone. But, I had no choice as we had to have the stone months before the house project started. I would have done it the same way ...stone first.

I'm no expert but I think you're right, you probably want to keep the garage door matched closely to the brick around it so you don't highlight the garage. I think the bright white on the front door looks nice but maybe to make to stand out more a different color would be fun, but yeah, not red, lol! Ok, I'm no help but hopefully my comment will bump it up.

Everyone's remodel takes longer than they think! I'll be 1 1/2 years out on a kitchen remodel we thought would take 6 months, so I'm sure you're doing great. Thanks for the big photo of the fixture, and it does look perfect for your space with a nice blend of those colors in the drapery hardware as well as your somerset pendants and the mirrors. As for the mirrors, really anything can be made to work and blend into a space as long as colors, textures or patterns are repeated elsewhere in the room. If you like the mirrors, by all means keep them as they are despite all the opinions people are giving you. Other people aren't living with the space -- you are. It sounds like your pendant hanging length isn't going to interfere with head or visual space, but I'm not an expert on that so double-check the measurements. If your counters are a standard 36" high and the pendants reach 36" above that, then I think you'll be fine. Some people are putting in elongated fixtures over long dining tables, similar to the ones you posted in previous photos, but I have a dining table that is long with a small chandelier above it and have never felt that the fixture was too small. If you like the colors and shape of the round one you just posted, I think it would work for your long table, especially because it has so many lights in it. You might want to think about installing it with a dimmer so that it is not actually too bright for some occasions. I'm happy to throw in my suggestions as so many people have helped me a ton with our remodel here in the Houzz forums, primarily through the archive of searchable posts. I'm like you trying to make decisions on my own, so it's required a lot of time researching everything.
