Swap the loveseat (always boogers to arrange) for a pair of armchairs. Pull one of the art's colors down to seating level and scatter it around with pillows, throws, and more art. Here's an example done with pink and gray.

Comments (9)I know this isn't garden junk, but I've been making jewelry from silverware. Maybe you could try that. Over on Crafts and Decorations I have some spoon pendants and beaded bracelets posted. I even made some lapel pins from silverware. I plan on using my grandchildrens photos in one, and you might be able to make a pendant with your mother's photo( a copy of course :) ) and some of her little things inside it. I used my grandmother's tatting in ones for myself,and pieces of old crochet and tatting I found at yard sales for ones I'm selling. You could put in small pieces of her old jewelry,or just anything that reminds you of her. I hope this helps with some of the silverware. Here is a link that might be useful: spoon jewelry...See MoreSome of my dahlia's aren't doing so well, any ideas as to why?
Comments (4)The purple giant turned bright white on the tips, magenta on the middle, and deep purple in the center. It looks fantastic and is doing wonderfully. Two of them have perked up. Ive noticed a difference in the structure of the... um.. bush? and foliage. The ones that look wilted tend to be less full and bushy. Much more lengthy, Also I felt the leaves, and they are perfectly healthy, firm. Not wilted at all. But their leaves look as though they are in a state of constant wilt. Because of out heat I try and keep them in shade. Dahlias do much better here when shaded for most of the day. They definitely aren't full sun plants down here. I try to plant them where there is full morning light and dappled shaded light during the afternoon. Some of them get hit by the after noon sun for an hour or so unfortunately. During the day it averages around 87. I say this because one day its 80 and the next its 90. We rarely reach 3 digits. and normally dont go above 95. I live nearish to the coast so it helps keep things cooler. At night I would have to say we reach from 60 - 70....See MoreLooking for some inspiration. Any ideas on what to do with this wall?

Comments (10)I would look into your local group for freebies! There is great stuff out there. Some of the best stuff I got when I moved into my first apartment was from the bulk pick days in wealthy neighborhoods. Call the town and find out when those days are happening, then grab some friends and a pickup truck. I got a full living room set for nothing - it lasted me over 10 years before I did something else. Local thrift shops are also great . Artwork - you can do yourself. Just have some fun or go with your friends to a wine and paint night. Just take your time. No need to rush. If you can, always walk around with a sample of paint colors or fabrics so if you stumble on something great, you can see if it works. Congratulations and good luck!...See More

5 years agoIs the kitchen open with this room? and do you already have wall[s] of art? If so, this would be busy imo cause of ceiling beams, etc... but idea for metal:

5 years agoI think it's likely that your furniture arrangement is not appropriate for the small size of your room. Angled arrangements cannot usually be successful unless the furniture has the ability to 'float' in the space. Your furnishings come too close to the walls

5 years agolast modified: 5 years agowhat a beautiful home I think your furniture arrangement is spot on. thanks for posting more pictures. my comment might have been different without them. the fireplace and the view are the focal points of this room. I believe your arrangement showcases both. I would always follow the angle of the fireplace myself. every seat in the room has a great view. large art and live plants would fit that wall. bring the outdoors in or just enjoy the view you have. you definitely have the room to have your furniture at an angle this does not look like a small space to me. might try moving the couch back a little more towards the kitchen to make the room feel more spacious. I would bring in more color though. bring the color of your kitchen island into this part of the room in art, pillows and accessories.

5 years agoThank you all for the help so far. Has definitely given us some things to think about. Note - The kitchen is in a bit of transition right now. We recently had them painted and wanted a pop of color since everything is so brown. The blue island with brushed copper hardware Slowly working that color into the decor. We are planning to change the island top to a white and grey quartz. And adding a back splash. Here’s what the old kitchen looked like.
