Phals don't really mind being repotted while they're still in bloom. I've done it before numerous times. Just go easy on their roots and they won't care. In fact, I have a few that I rescued from the clearance shelf that I plan on repotting. My local Wal-Mart had just placed every Phal they had out in the full sunlight and marked them all down. I bought several of them and still felt bad because every single one they had was still in excellent condition and very healthy. But I knew they wouldn't last very long being blasted with full sunlight. Fortunately, I just happened to show up right after they moved them outside.

What is not to code? IMO the same type of railing in white probably would work but I would like to see the front door.

Pretty space that will only get better with tweaking! I agree with Jan's suggestion. The couch on the wall beside the fireplace doesn't look right--too crowded. I understand the desire for that symmetry with them facing each other, but even if you get rid of the TV, having a couch there just doesn't work. We have a similar layout in our living room--those corner fireplaces make furniture placement difficult! After eight years and trying many different layouts, we have settled on a plan similar to Jan's. RugsUSA.com has some oversized rugs, and here's one I found on Etsy after a quick search; I think the room could benefit from something vintage/antique since your other things look new: https://www.etsy.com/listing/858351833/13-x-16-contemporary-turkish-oushak-rug?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=13+x+16+rug&ref=sr_gallery-1-25&organic_search_click=1&pro=1&frs=1 

Orchids are very easy to care for, almost as easy as succulents. After it blooms, if the flowers spikes turn brown cut them off about an inch from the base. If they stay green you may get a re-bloom or babies. Some experts suggest that you repot an orchid after it loses it's blooms. I have mine in an orchid mix for Phalaenopsis from Lowe's, but if you can get a better one from repotme.com, or so the "experts" say. I use distilled water with a small amount of orchid food mixed in (also from Lowe's) and water when the orchid feels light when removed from the cachepot and the roots look white-ish. be careful not to get water in the crown which can cause rot. The aerial root with the brown section is fine as long as the end stays green, but you can cut it off if you like. Cut off any aerial (outside) roots that are brown and completely dried. I know it sounds complicated, but it's just water, orchid food and bright, indirect light. Now if someone could just teach me how to get them to bloom again, I would be happy. I can keep them alive, healthy, new leaves, new roots, even have a baby growing, but no blooms ! Guess I need to go over to our Orchid forum https://www.gardenweb.com/discussions/orchidsand ask for help, or watch some YouTube videos. Anybody here know how to get new bloom spikes on a Phal ?
