"Can anyone suggest another daylily which would look good with Persian Market?" How about Curt Hanson's BELA LUGOSI? Like PM, it's a midseason bloomer, a beautiful dark purple. Easy to find, not expensive. Gorgeous daylily. Another purple to consider (MAYBE!) is a Moldovan, STRUTTER'S BALL. I say maybe because I've found that it prefers some afternoon shade. Perhaps a better choice is DERBY BOUND, an older Wild daylily (1967). I bought clumps of both of these last summer. To my surprise and delight, DERBY BOUND was completely happy in a south-facing, full-sun spot -- not a sign of colors fading or running. And it's the color you want, a "purple red wine." And it's available to you locally.... ....you're not too far (all of about 25 minutes) from Teich and McColgan, a good place to buy daylilies in clumps. They're in Chalfont. Go next summer and see what's in bloom. I bought both STRUTTERS BALL and DERBY BOUND there. Then, while you're at it, make an appointment to visit the AHS display garden right around the corner from Teich - Creveling Daylily Gardens, in Perkasie. I go there every summer, usually multiple times. And then I end up ordering...and ordering...and ordering! Here's a link to the AHS web page on its display gardens for region 3; scroll down and you'll find the Creveling garden info: http://www.daylilies.org/AHSreg3.html#R3gardens And yes, harryshoe, you and I are kind'a neighbors....I'm just above Point Pleasant. Maybe I have extras of DERBY BOUND, if that's the one you want. I haven't checked in yet this year, but many of the clumps that Teich sells are BIG. I think the DERBY BOUND clump may have been one of those. 'Tho not as big as the clump of CARTWHEELS I got there....I don't think anybody ever wanted that daylily, so the clump had sat there, getting bigger...and bigger...and bigger. I'd no idea they were giving me THAT clump! I'd have been quite satisfied with a nice double or triple fan. It took two men to get it into the back seat of my car. And my husband figures the clump, with soil 'round the roots, weighed about 100 pounds! We got it into a wheelbarrow, and then just tipped it, in the huge plastic garbage bag the guys put it in, into the nearest empty spot in the nearest garden bed. And there it sat, all winter. Now I have to figure out how to plant it!

Your last image (inspiration?) didn't post, but I think I know what you're going for and I approve. A question: are you using furniture you have or purchasing new for this? A classic round game table might be better if you aren't repurposing an existing table. Or an expandable 5' round dining table so you CAN make it bigger if needed. Having to fit existing furniture in is of course a different job than picking out new stuff!

too bad you cant change the bathroom door entry to enter from the den -- the house and kitchen look too small to accommodate a decent size table unless you rarely entertain and have a small family - Its really about how you will be "living" in the house and the space you need-- if you dont need a dining area then convert to a nice sitting room with a bar.

Just ordered cabinets. Just painted it weeks ago. Ready to start finishing it out with a bar with a few cabinets and bitch lock countertop with matching floating shelves.... And then find a billiards table.
