Just my two cents -- Is there a window in Bath #2? Is it over the toilet? You might want to think about that. It can be awkward, especially if the window isn't high enough. Also, take a look at the 2 windows in the left front bath -- is that the master bath? It looks like the window in the front of the house will be longer than the one over the tub. My architect did the same thing to us. It looked great on the plans, but now that it's all built, I have a bathroom with windows that are different lengths (the longest/lowest is right next to the toilet, hence my previous comment). I wish they were all the same. Also make sure there is enough room on either side of all windows to stack drapes, if that is a look you like. Again, we didn't see it until it was too late and now I have to use tailored shades when I wanted lush drapes. Sigh. Just take your time and try to envision each element of each individual room -- this is the time to make changes. Good luck!

While I'm not saying to put it by the tree, I disagree about planting a rose at the base of a tree. Well-established mature trees have most of their feeder roots very far from the trunk. The difficulty would be in digging a hole large enough to get the rose in there. But once planted, a vigorous climber will do just fine at the base of a tree. I have 'Orfeo' and 'Baltimore Belle' planted separately at the bases of trees, and they're already pretty substantial. I also tucked 'Eugene Beauharnais' and "Huilito" at the bases of trees, and they're doing just fine. Both are planted on the "sunny side" of the trunks. The climbers have reached up and around enough that they get plenty of sun. :-) ~Christopher

Sorry for the picture heavy page. :-). I have trouble expressing at certain times in words. So the pictures attempt to speak for me. Thank you Deborah for reminding me of creating the more soothing lines that I'd forgotten that Olychick told me about Olychick not sure if you're following this but you have helped me immeasurably. I have gone back several times over what you have said and that has been greatly appreciated and keeping me or editing. Yayagal I found this at a second hand shop. I guess it didn't suit the other person's decor or something like that. I was happy to pay the under $100 for it as it really makes me smile. Thank you for the compliment on it. 1 pink mountain thank you the compliment on my tchotchkes. I kept only my favorites when I purged many many many many things. Thanks also for your help with understanding why the smaller pieces don't work very well. When I'm up close to the fireplace I can see the pieces I love it's very hard to understand why they shouldn't be there. We are now looking for something more solid and structured but not sure what maybe some thick blue or black candle holders?

I don't disagree with sofa table/lamps is a great look-- and something to ultimately do, but what if they don't have the $$ to make those changes or other issues where the sofa can't be moved down, say like a vent. So for now w/everything as is, it becomes a general design ?/issue...in a peaked ceiling room, which should art generally relate to....the peaked ceiling or object underneath? I think it's the object below.
