I like this room a lot, it's very similar to the layout of my living room so I'll take some inspiration from here, except I have light floor tiles and darker furniture. I like the the floor here, it gives warmth to the room.

Just adding a few more suggestions to all the great comments:
- Dates balls: you roll into balls dates pitted and thinly chopped together with nuts, pistachios, walnuts, cover with coconut.
- Tahini-Almonds balls: roll together into balls: tahini, grounded almonds and honey.
- Fruit salad
- Caramelized fruits: such as apples, peaches and pairs, served with cream.
- Compote, served with ice-cream.
- In the summer I make Malabi: boiled milk with cornflour, a bit of sugar and rose water. It needs to cool over night in the refrigerator, than serve with pomegranates syrup, fresh pomegranate and a bit of pistachios.
- In the winter I make Sahlab, you make it the same way as the malabi but eat it warm, serve with nuts, coconut, cinnamon and sugar on top.

The information overload can be overwhelming, but like Dhanishta I think it helped me discover my true style. I've collected for over a year now images from around the web of home decor that I liked. I save it in my "inspiration" folder. I'm now decorating my new home and when I had to decide on paint colors for the walls I just scanned through this folder and looked at the walls. I was actually surprised to discover a few interesting things I didn't know about myself. I thought I liked color but it turned out most of the walls in the pictures I saved were white or off-white. So, it did help me realize what I really like.

Do they have a lot of shootings in the area? because this hardscape element looks like a shelter.

I don't mind it spreading all over, but I actually planted it next to hyssop and lemon geranium and they totally took over, they're growing like crazy and taking over the mint. So, I guess if you plant it next to plants that are also very strong it's ok.
Also, don't buy several mint plants in the nursery, it's a waste of money, just cut off a branch, bud it and replant.

-Laptops
-My paintings
-Wallet and cellphone

That's it, but that's because everything else can be replaced. It's not because I can live for a long period of time without everything else (cloths, refrigerator, stove, bed etc.)

I think microwaves are more energy efficient than a toaster oven, which are usually very energy consuming, and the stoves use gas.
So, I wouldn't call it an eco-friendly advice, although I prefer the oven because the food just tastes better.
Regarding dishwashers they can actually save water, so also not such an eco-friendly advice.
If you're not using dishwasher, try washing the dishes in loads.
Plastic wrap- I use too much of it, I know.
Paper towels, so redundant, give it up and use towels and napkins.
TV, don't have one but I use the computer a lot. I use a notebook cooler.
Coffee maker- makineta coffee is the best!
Plastic food bags- I reuse supermarket bags.
Hair dryer- I think it's just unhealthy for the hair, it destroys it, plus I have curly hair and it makes it frizzy.
I'd also like to add a dryer to this list- unless you do loads of laundry everyday, it's better to hang your laundry to dry, especially if you live in a warm area.

Great idea! I also had no trouble sitting on this table. Should the legs be shorten a bit? it's quite tall for an ottoman?
