I think you have a very good start of a cottage garden. All your flowers and leaves seem to be about the same size , texture, and color.. It you could add a plant for leaf size and another for flower size you would add a lot of interest. I like to have about 20% of my plants for texture or leaf color. Your sedum is a very good example of texture. This picture was taken June 21. The single most unexciting week in my garden every year. Yet there's still enough going on with the plants to make my garden interesting anyway.
