HEY GF!/Missa, Might you want to add a 'small' Viola Freckles for a small (this years growth much like one might get if they bought on line,) rhizome of Shah Jehan from your list....You have it spelled differently though. My (it's labeled as NOID in my album, but I got an ID on it recently by the trader who had sent it to me...luckily LMK...Thanks...Sue

I'd suggest getting a polypropylene rug that imitates the tight weave of sisal. Natural grasses stain and eventually deteriorate to the point you have to toss them. They are not intended to last for more than a couple of years. We have an indoor/outdoor poly rug and it's easy clean-up, very durable. I used to have it in my dining room where my DR chairs are all used Howard Miller wheeled office chairs, 5-wheeled bases with armrests and full adjustability. They were fine on this rug, no problem.

Sisal stains badly. Even water stains it. If it's mixed with wool, it doesn't stain as badly. But, you probably will see a left over water mark. Jute and coir aren't super durable. I think it has to do with the shortness of the actual fibers. . Try seagrass. It repels water (somewhat, usually beads up first and then soaks in) and is easier to clean up than other others (was able to get koolaid out of it). It has long fibers and if something gets pulled out, you can usually tuck it back in.

You can use the darker shades for your windows, to coordinate with your table, but I think they look too heavy for your sliders. I'd use a very light linen type sheer drape that matches your wall color on the sliders, stacked to the right of the door. It will soften the space when open. You can use a dark rod for the drapes to tie the two window areas together. Or consider using drapes on the sliders with a lighter colored roman shade on the windows that blends with the wall.
