I'm rather liking it too! I was not liking the harsher pink frame on
the bathroom and think black on the outer would eye-po better (leave
inner frame as is) but i really liked the stained glass there.

Not all want to be plain vanilla.

I have a suggestion for the garden beds. Wandering Jew. It's purple
and lasts most of the year and comes up next year with no trouble.
Tiny flowers of pink. Can be mixed with other plants. Spreads well
naturally and grows to 18 or so inches so he can put in anything else
that catches his fancy around it.
