wall decor and styling - modern farmhouse style
Comments (9)Your sideboard is great and is nicely styled. It really can only support two of the wooden family photos above it, though. So, I'd try that first. The living area doesn't appear to have any lights. So, I'd opt for floor lamp to the right of the TV. Rather than the fixtures you've chosen for the foyer and island, consider glass. I think the three you've chosen might be a little too much of the same and a little more input than the space can handle - with all of the lines, scroll work and patterning. The glass is simple and will fall into the background so that your chandelier can really stand out as special. I like the arch mirror you have, but am afraid it's too large for that spot. You could consider some art there, instead. The advantage to having art there is that you'll have some color for accenting, should you choose. Here are some glass lighting options to consider. The art is there to show scale and how you can pull color from it for accessories....See MoreDecorating 13 Year Old Boys Surfer Style Bedroom

Chair style all wrong for my decor!
Comments (43)@Ariana Designs LLC …thank you so much for your response and photos of the beautiful dining chair suggestions! They are simple and sleek. I think I’m seeing my problem with the whole kitchen/dining area design and my mistake was the choice of barstools ( barring those horrid farmhouse dining chairs to be replaced that came with the table). So now I’ve got the dilemma of finding suitable chairs to offset the thickness & style of the barstools so there’s balance. I love your chair photos as they show what I should be considering as replacements for the existing farmhouse chairs and to complement what I already have. Thank you so very much!!...See MoreWhich way to style decor?
Comments (44)Yes… i know exactly what you mean As Jilly suggested maybe going with a darker frame, I placed a black frame i had lying around and placed it on the around. . i see the point and have not written it off. i am considering it, as it may coordinate with the darker pieces you point out. I can see both of your points. well taken what if it is a frameless canvas? should I do framelss? or have whatever piece I choose be framed? also, yes, the fireplace frame is black, and know the furniture appears black in the pics, but the dark wood pieces are actually a dark wood. the stain the furnitre manufacturer used was called black cherry- it has a purple/ burgundy hue to it in person. i tried to take a close ip of the wood....See MoreUser
