What would you put here?
Comments (2)Oh, duh! Got a call while posting...sorry!...See MoreWhat kind of pendants would you put here?
Comments (0)Hi there! I am about to move into a new home and would really like to change out these kitchen pendants. Since the tile/countertops/cabinets aren't the style I would have picked on my own, I am having trouble figuring out what kind of pendants would look good. What pendants would you put here?...See MoreWhat would you put here?
Comments (37)Sorry for the absence, I was so busy yesterday. Okay, lots to digest here. I have to admit that I love how the chest looks in the foyer. I feel like it gives the foyer presence. I will try to move it into the living room to see how it looks there though. The bench with the mirror hanging above would look nice. I have the mirror on the floor in the dining room because I thought I would hang it above a buffet (once I can afford one). As far as the big painting in the corner of the LR, I can't figure out where to put that. In the old house it hung above my couch. I'm thinking of maybe hanging it above my bed now. It seemed too large for the corner space in the LR. I do have a lot of other paintings (mostly smaller ones) that I have to figure out where to hang. I'm so scared of making holes in my newly painted walls that I am having huge commitment issues!! It is so hard to decide what to put where and I tend to change my mind a lot ;) As far as the plant, I agree it is looking pretty sparse. It went into shock when we moved, I am trying to coax it back, it may take awhile though. Another question, do you think the painting is too small for over the fireplace? I also have these ceramic candleholders, would they look good on either side of the painting? Also, do you envision curtains or roman shades for this room? If we were in there at night, I would close whatever was there for privacy from the street. Thanks!...See MoreWhat would you put here?
Comments (49)Well, this is what I've done. I put the chairs that were originally there, back. I love these chairs -- they were a CL find, and they were in front of the FP until I moved them to the "conversation area" that, yes, is cozy aka crowded, but that arrangement works better than others I've tried. Tucked away over there, they weren't as easy to admire! I think they are back in their rightful place. I still need to get a rug, which may have to be an indoor-outdoor type until our elderly dog....dies. I have the wicker chairs back over by the sofa, but that's temporary. When I find the right chairs to replace them, I will move them over to the puzzle table....See Moresmmauch
