Thank you roj leather and Simon for your recommendations. I like the hanging chair and the almanda creeper on the wall. This will certainly liven up the patio.

Hi Ni, I just thought of something....did you say you planned to do the stencil motifs on the window wall? If so, I am thinking they will be mostly hidden by the curtains. I wonder if it might be better to stencil the long wall that is on the right side of the room when looking toward the window. I could see this being a pretty backdrop to the prayer box (I think that’s what you called it?) and your wood cuttings. Then maybe the opposite wall (the one with the kitchen doorway) could hold a large piece of art?

OK... but the wire wont be lower as it is fixed now. The wire in the pics below is the wall facing each other. They were leveled on equal height but the beam on one wall makes it seem a little above. But i think you guys are absolutely right that up and down lights wont look good there. I think you are right about down lights lessismoore. Would it look good if i go with two different lights on opposite walls??? it would look odd right.

First, I think rearranging your furniture and getting the furniture off the walls and float them in the living space would look nice. I'd nail down the arrangement before selecting new rugs. Where the chandelier is, try floating your sitting area (with the coffee table) below the chandelier and angle the current area rug. It's okay (and looks quite cozy and open) to have furniture floating and be able to wall around the furniture. You could have another seating area where the arrangement is now. Oh...yes, your mustard walls can work as is. Let's start with the layout first. :)
