Hi Jenna!

I'm not sure how these 3 changes look in person, but I'm not really seeing them as inprovements. Sorry. The plant (right side), is ok, but the scale is off--too much foliage compared to the settee and rug. About 1/3 less leaves then perhaps it would look right. Hope that makes sense. :))

Thanks for the pics Jenna.

Definitely like the plant placed to the right of the settee as it allows the rug to be pushed closer to the front door.

I do prefer the shutter placed to the living room side if it is to stay in this room.. All other walls have something tall .. armoire ,window & kids pics.

I do agree with Natalie that the plant looks a bit too dense for the soft settee. I think that a Boston fern placed on a small table would be nice to add softness to the arrangement.

The vase & stems in the corner of the arches adds a lot of softness in that spot.. but the crate does not work.

One more favour .. please place the glass vase/flowers that is now beside the fireplace in the arches corner for a look. Thanks.

Remember what a drastic change was made when you had the woodwork & fireplace surround painted light... WOW. I think once your armoire is painted light the same result will happen in this room.

Thanks for the pics Jenna.I think that this type of vase between the arches would be perfect. Perfect for adding some softness to this area without being to obvious.

Need glass or very light colored vase ( which doesn't take up any visual space.. blends in nicely with wall color) & some tiny flowers like these. Could even have an aqua tinge to the glass.

How tall is this arrangement? I have seen some very nice glass floor vases recently. Suggest looking for one that has a wide bottom & then tapers to small at top.

I suggest you leave the corner with arches alone.

For plant by entry a floor plant that is taller than settee and overlaps the pictures.

Two colors distressed finish examples

How much black shows depends on how heavy you distress

Jenna, I'm all for using a live plant by the settee but the problem is that it will grow.. taller. So I would suggest a Boston fern which will be fluffy & not grow significantly taller for a long while. You would need to put it on a stand.

I do like the vase/flowers by the arches.. just need a larger & a bit taller vase. Adds some softness to that spot. It's all according to what you prefer. How does it look to you ?

Check out a vase that would be at least 30'' tall & bigger on bottom.... that plus flowers should be a good height.

Yes please try all those looks for the photos and post pics. I think the 4 together are overwhelming the small entry

With the settee centered & no plant the width of the 2 pictures is a lot wider than the settee itself . Looks too top heavy.. so I vote for leaving the plant. The plant helps to add some softness to that spot & brings a bit of dark color down to the settee level.

I do like the idea of 2 pics on bottom & only one on top level.

In outshopping's picture the settee is wider than the picture arrangement which does look great.

I think centered and no plant looks very elegant :)

Yes Jenna, for the office. This photo I thought inspirational. :))

I agree... :)

#1........ Love it :)

Hi Jenna---yes exactly as you mentioned. :))

Happy New Year Jenna... :)

Hi Jenna.. Happy New Year to you & family. Had been think about you lately & wondering if you had made any more changes.

Saw your post ..but no comments.

Hey, Jenna .. was just thinking about you yesterday! Going to check out your new dilemma.

Hi Jenna!

I'm glad all is well on your end.

I'll take a peek at your Exterior dilemma.

See you there. xoxo

Hi Jenna!

Ok, the finial is 3", correct? So 12" plus 3" and a pinch to grow an inch--rod including finial should extend 16" past the window. Brackets can be mounted 1" out from the window. Hang 'em high! :))

Looking forward to pictures. xox

Jenna---when you have a minute-measure the wall to the right of the window-from the window trim to the corner, and post the measurement. I'll get back to you ASAP. Thanks!

Great! 21" beyond window frame is perfect. Post pics. :))
