Do you have any rooms or designated areas.....
Comments (35)I have a thing for wood stained in what's called 'heritage' cherry (it's a darker shade but not quite mahogany) and mahogany. Yes, I know it's a dark stain color to choose and that means the furniture can look overwhelming/imposing in rooms. I bet that's at least part of the reason the open floor plan thing came about. ;) Blues, other jewel tones, and oddly enough grey - there will be no beige brought into my home if I have anything to do with it. Earlier in my adulthood when I was just getting into living under a roof that I was paying for I had a lot more....stuff....as decor. But years go by and viewpoints change, so does the decor....See MoreLiving Room Update - What recommendations do you have for layout?
Comments (1)I like the set you are considering purchasing, but on first glance it appears it may be too bulky? If you've measured and our confident it won't be too large for the space than I would pair it with 1-2 smaller, unique, fun accent chair/s. See images below To add in some color I would find slipcovers, for the pillows that come with your sofa & love. For the pillow slipcovers you could do teal, red, or yellow....would be your preference. Good luck!

Comments (20)Well that is the dilemma... I actually like some of the wood trim. I think the dining room looks great. Has a bit of character. Im just trying to find the proper "balance" of where I should paint some trim... My husband is ready to have someone come in and paint it ALL WHITE... everything.. I'm like noooooo!!!! So my immediate mission is to "update" and lighten the home without making everything ALL white and losing ALL warmth and character of the home. I dont know what "fixes" I should start with. Doors? Staircase risers and rails? I don't want "all white trim" going up in every room. That means white doors everywhere... once you start... it just keeps going. I have archway into dining room... if it gest painted white it will look weird to have white on one side and brown on the other... so there goes the wood in the dining room......See MoreWhat would you do to update dining room table. Stain or paint?
Comments (37)Hello everyone. This has been a process. Thrilled with how the chairs turned out. The picture does not do it justice. New webbing, foam and Dacron wrapped seats. We will wait for next year to tackle refinishing the table. We want to use the table during the fall/winter months vs the kitchen counter. Put up a new light fixture (34" from the table) Now....I'm thinking of curtains on the entire back wall as suggested by Beth H. : ...but what color? What do you think about a colored sheer? I do like the light coming through the blinds....which we did ditch the metal blinds.. ran to Home Depot and got faux wood for now. I'll post some updated photos. As always, your comments are truly appreciated....See Morepennydesign
