That's what I got also. I didn't make it all the way through but got confused while reading what the original topic was because it went in so many directions. It's hard on Houzz to discuss serious issues like that through text. So much gets lost in translation and can get completely misinterpreted. Without someone sitting right in front of you, it's nearly impossible to get it 100%. Couldn't figure out why politics kept getting brought up regarding government allowance, etc from posters. I'm sure she was just throwing her heart out there but not wording it in the best manner. Does sound like she has some serious hardships. I just thought Houzz might not be the best place to unload all of it. Unless you recognize her name and have followers her, it was really hard to understand everything. I'm really glad you caught it all Roo and could help her.

Lovely print. I had a peacock feather print and I had a colour called glacier Grey behind. Think it was Wattyl . Again like your other walls it is a greenish grey but darker. I also had my prints on a charcoal wall..loved that too. As you said the picture ties in with the chairs and now it's not necessary to add more matching colours. I'd buy a couple of sample pots and paint large pieces of cardboard. With the other walls I would consider painting them in whisper white (Dulux) a very universal colour that ties in nicely with all colours.

For viewing from inside, you could easily fill the space with tall potted plants( type depending where you live). If it's a place for her to play, I recently saw some really cute miniature "fairy garden" furniture at a local craft store. The fun of a fairy garden is what they can create from mostly natural materials, so collecting items for the houses on walks can be wonderful. Painted rocks, homemade wind chimes, twig furniture, etc. are a great way to incorporate her creativity. I have a 13-yr.-old, so I sometimes miss those projects. :)

There is excellent advice for care of your grass trees if you google 'Bruinsma grass trees' ... shows how to care for them especially in the first 12 months, there advice is invaluable as they specialise in grass trees, they advise regular deep watering until established, I would follow their advice if you want your grass tree to have the best chance of survival as they are an investment in both money and a statement for your garden.
