Allow for a minimum of six hours of sun a day for best foliage effect. The foliage will be best on the south side of the plant, especially for red varieties. Six or more hours of sun are also recommended with afternoon shade in hotter areas. Too much shade makes the plants leggy and dulls the brilliance of those that have colorful foliage.
Avoid situating plants in areas that receive harsh winter winds; as evergreens, they suffer severe dehydration. Or apply a winter mulch such as evergreen boughs. In areas with deep snow cover, plants will be fine. Heaths and heathers actually like poor soil. Giving annual doses of fertilizer is deadlier than not giving any at all. Fertilize once with rhododendron feed upon planting—then leave your plants alone. About the only work you need to do is give them a yearly shearing. This is best done in the spring before any buds have set or, for winter bloomers, after the flowers have faded.
Calluna vulgaris should be cut back below the old flowers; the Erica spp. Unless otherwise noted, heathers Calluna vulgaris are hardy in Zones and are no more than 2 feet high and slightly more as wide. Heaths tolerate more heat than do heathers and are generally good choices for Southern regions, though they dislike extremely humid areas.

I haven't tried propagation yet, but plan to try both of these methods at the proper time. Like Save. Related Discussions Dividing up a tiny space Q. Here's a current discussion with similar studio Trouble dividing up open plan space Q. I'm confused by the floor plan, because it shows an L shaped kitchen with an island.
Looks like you don't have an island, but based in your actual photos I don't like the table there. I would move the table where you have the two chairs to make it more of a dining room area. Looks like that's where your boys play though- I'd move that to the living room. Get stylish toy chests though, to hide all of the toys away when not playing. Unless you have a basement or a separate play room.
Area rugs are a great way to separate open floor plan spaces. If you have money to add a kitchen peninsula or island, it would look great with some bar stools. Your living room- Id mount the TV on the wall that you currently have a picture, and move that picture to another wall. These are just my ideas if you don't buy anything new. A an actual floor plan might be helpful but the 2 ideas you have are not ideal according to you so unless we can see another option one of these will have to work.
Sectional Sofa divided up in Living Room Q. How about the chaise where the chair is but with a right opening. Then a bench in the spot vacated by the chaise. The bench in a rich brown tufted leather. The coffee table would look great painted pewter if you have to keep it. I would rather see something with a bit more meat as it may play just a scooch nicer here.
