it's a doggie door. it can be amazing and also very annoying. Maggie the Airedale is always half out the doggie door so her butt is in a lot of my photos. we call it "butt bombing" haha Julie! I could not have done this with out your amazing skills and tracking down perfect dining chairs. My husband and I thought we would never agree on a set :) :) I have learned so so much! Now on to the bedroom, and then the entry way and dog grooming/yoga studio!

What if you painted the wall behind the piano an accent color (your choice, I’m going with sea glass). Let’s add a rug under the dining table. You need at least an 8 x 10. Wayfair: The sectional and ottoman don’t leave a lot of space for a rug, so new throw pillows are in order. Something like this round rug for the entry. rugs.com

First thought is to move the whole seating area down toward the fireplace so the the end table is centered on the far window. My moving the seating area down, you may be able to have a sofa table behind for some lamps. I would look at plantation shutters although if I could convince you I’d go with drapes too. It will help to balance that wall out and add some softness as well as add some visual ‘pop’ if you chose a pattern. With that said, with drapes you wouldn’t need any artwork because the wall space would be taken up by the drapes. I’d remove the mirrored piece to the right by the entry as it looks like it’s floating out in space. I would also consider doing something else other than artwork. There is so much out there like wall planters, metal art, something 3-dimensional. Just an FYI, there are apps like BeCasso that will take an existing photo and turn it into a watercolor, oil paining, pop art. Then you can order it as print, canvas or whatever. I did some mediocre mock-ups so you can get a feel for what some of this would look like. I also included a pic of a house like yours so that you may want to put something in the entry. I wouldn’t two two items just one.
