Hi Helen, I will preface the following by saying I had someone help me with my colors, so take this with a grain of salt. I used sherwin williams colors as well, and spent a great amount of time on their website with their color visualizer. While all monitors distort color to some extent, I found it very helpful! I think that if you painted the niche of your fireplace with the brevity brown, since you are painting the rest of your room latte, that would be a lovely focal point of the room. Both of the colors are from the brown family and definitely would compliment each other. Go play with the color visualizer, I promise it will help you. I couldn't readily find pewter green on the strips, but it's there because when I searched it came up. Good luck! Amy

Looks like Peperomia obtusifolia that is suffering in water and no light. Commonly called Pepper Face, I think...for reasons I can't comprehend. I'd recommend getting the plant into a very loose soil IMMEDIATELY and keep it dry for awhile. They go a pretty long time without water, and can be treated somewhat like a succulent, to a degree. They like bright light indoors or mostly bright shade outdoors. If it is the Peperomia I'm thinking of, then it should be this color when you get it back to healthy: Here is more information

Oh, thank you so much - it DOES look like it might be Sedum Spectabile based on the leaves. The ones in planters at my grandparents' site did not have those pink purple flowers but they did have some very small, green and crude ones that were just beginning to bloom. I have it now in that pot. Should I slowly take the pot out to get it acclimated with the outside? My grandparents' place is in Eastern Europe (close to the Black Sea). Hot dry summers, cold, snowy winters - 4 seasons, classic continental climate. Here I am in the South, Atlanta area. Can this plant make it in this small pot I planted it in? If it goes well, I can transplant it later in something larger. What does it need in terms of water, sun and fertilizer? Thank yo so much!

I htink the red sideboard makes that room! everything else is sedate, so that bold color adds a bit of interest. However, your artwork is the wrong color for that red. I don't like those peach tones, or the greens in it. Plus, I just don't think it does justice to the console. you need this type of coloring bolder reds/orange/pinks. I don't think the harsh black/white w/gold works in your room. it's too modern looking Snce I see a pink throw, what about this red/fuschia, pink/white? I actually love this coloring w/everything else in your room. to tie into the orange chairs, get one w/a tad more orange in it. Then you need to style the top of the piece, as well as the sides of it. I'd do a tall plant in the corner. (you have enough chairs in this room! ) I wouldn't do red pillows. too much red is too much. you have the chairs and the huge sideboard. the only other red that needs to be here is in art, or a few decor items. I like your white rug/sofa, but I think the dark coffee table should be replaced w/something lighter styling the top of the sideboard. ssee how they styled this piece? plant to the left, art,, (only 6" above the top please) and some pieces arranged on top or these? I have a vintage mcm buffet and hung a vibrant Mark King Lithograph above it I'm not saying you need this color, (too many blues/greens) but you see how bold it is? Everything else in my room is neutral, like yours. Make the artwork part of the piece. for the other wall, pick something in similar colors, or subject matter. as long as they coordinate, you could do whatever you want. Maybe over the other piece you could do something like this or, try something like this over the smaller piece. (minus the chairs)
