Thanks, olychick! I had about a week to pick the big stuff so they were all available, so really about three days of actually store time. At least one of our local Lowes guys knows me by site now! Thank goodness after all the initial research I ended up liking all the stuff at Lowes, it would have been a nightmare driving back an forth with tiles and samples. I just had to keep running over a few aisles! Thanks, lynn2006! Our whole house is a sea of tan/beige - walls, carpet, trim - so I wanted to keep the "permanent" items neutral but not plain beige. It's my favorite room in the house now, and the motivation to keep pushing forward with redoing all the rooms. Luckily after the kitchen it will be mostly flooring and paint, so a lot more affordable.

Thanks it is an exciting time for us! She is so happy:) here are some Images from my sons wedding it was so pretty...my daughter in law found this women that rents out all these vintage old pieces and creates beautiful centerpieces and than the florist added flowers and succulents..it was something I had never seen before....hard to top for sure!

What a beautiful space. You did a great job! If it were my home, I'd forgo the mantel and would add shelves above the cabinets - but it looks like there is not enough room at the edge of the window to do that on the left. Not sure I'd add shelves on one side only. If there is a way to design shelves to work with the window, that would be my choice.

Shorten your post and put in bold print at the bottom "These sofa's must stay. Non-negotiable. Please only make comments that include these sofas." Otherwise you will continue to get unhelpful comments like the ones below that don't take into account your actual needs. The 3-piece artwork looks small and floating in a vast expanse on the back wall. What if you pushed the sofa that is in front of the paintings slightly closer to the TV, picked up an inexpensive console table to put beneath the 3 rectangular pieces of artwork (from TJ Max or Facebook Marketplace?) Then flanked the console table on either side with a pair of seated arm chairs that could be moved into place when guests are over. Are all of the sofas the same size? It looks like the one closer to the doors is shorter. Any chance they would move the shortest one to a different room and allow for some sturdy arm chairs in that place instead? I don't know if your other relatives who come to visit are older too. These squishy, unsupportive sofas can be very hard on arthritic joints and hard to get in and out of. Perhaps that is why guests are gravitating to the new mystery chair/ Get some C tables to place on the ends of the sofas for drinks. I don't think these overstuffed sofas lend themselves well to accent pillows and throws. The star burst mirror seems hung to high above the mantle. Beefier decor on the mantle will help too. Something that reads well from across the room.
