Everything looks nice. I didn't realize you were moving. Is this going to be nearby and/or a downsize? Agree not to buy too many new things before you are in the next place. The good news is many of your pieces are flexible and could be used in various rooms.

Beautiful rooms. Your house should show very well. i didnt realize you were moving either. I hope you have found a new place and that everything will go smoothly. Love your art.

@Allison0704, I have been looking at moving closer to family for about 6 or so months. I have no real goal or deadline, just a notion. I do not want anything smaller than what I have now. The decorator who has been helping me knew that except for painting walls, everything needed to be more or less flexible so it could be used in a different house. I think the ugly rug in the MBR is the only real misstep.

It looks so pretty! Imagine it will sell quickly for you when you're ready.

Fab job! Good luck with all of it. I also didn't know you were moving but sounds like a good way to start a new chapter, and if you get along with family, close is always good!! I LOVE the art piece with the church and angels. I love the sentiment and the colors and the exposition.

My house isn’t really on the market. Just a friend of a friend who would like to be in my area. If she wants the house, I have no idea what I’ll do. Put my stuff in storage and rent until I find something? DD suggested I move into a hotel and rack up a bunch of points. As much as I love to travel, that suggestion has some appeal! HA!

Everything looks fresh and appealing, light and bright. Great job!

I think your new painting looks terrific over your fireplace!

Love the new art but I’m really in love with the smaller church painting. Can you share the artist?

The whole plate arrangement looks great too.

I love the fabric on the chair and ottoman. The two new paintings are great also!

@Sueb20 the artist is Amy Carlisle https://amycarlisleart.com/

I really love everything you did. The two new art pieces are wonderful. The one over the fireplace is perfect.

Amy's work is wonderful! A little "Chagall" ish! If I had money, I would buy a house and just fill it with art and books. My own current place is already filled up to the brim . . .

I love everything. The art is gorgeous, the fabrics are fabulous, the furniture is so classic and the who house is warm and inviting. Bravissima!

What a nice refresh-- I especially love the chair in the bedroom (do i remember that was an earlier stage of the refresh?) and the art pieces. The church is just so joyful!

Beautiful spaces! Love the new art, too!

Everything is really coming to together. When you're finished you may just decide to stay!

Re your bed - what is a little off for me is that it doesn't say cozy. The top of the bed looks like a very flat and hard surface. Perhaps in real life it looks and feels different. I would try to find something with a little more texture or depth to it.

@blfenton! You nailed it. The bed looks like a box with a sheet thrown over it. I was unable to see how flat and hard it looks! I just knew it was unappealing.

I used to have a down blanket on it in the summer, but the down blanket was beginning to yellow. Now, I have a coverlet. Because I hate to make my bed, I’ve stripped it down to the bare essentials but it is too bare. I may order a new down blanket. I definitely need new monogrammed shams. Perhaps I’ll treat myself to a pair from Leontine Linens!

The bed in my guest bedroom was a bit like that. Hard and flat describes the look perfectly! Our master bedroom mattress is thicker/cushier - something. I put a thick mattress topper on the guest bed and that improved the looks. We also have a mattress topper on our bed, because the Mr. is a bit happier with a firmer mattress than I am (although my back appreciates it!). However our mattress topper is not as thick as the guest room bed's. I do always have a duvet or coverlet at the end of the bed. A down blanket would work well!

May I make one more suggestion? I absolutely love the new art. However, I have a problem in my own home. I like my art to work together in the room. Sometimes that's hard (at least for me). With the new art, it seems like the art above the sofa may be a bit dark? Perhaps it's just me and I hope I don't come across as critical. Just a suggestion - but have you tried something different there? I can't wait to see the pillows you come up with!

It is beautiful!

Very tastefully done!

I adore the blues! In this market, should you list it, it'll sell quickly. Be ready!

I love cashmere. It means cozy and comforting to me. Would you consider a cashmere throw in a blue at the foot of your bed?

Your home is gorgeous! It looks so bright and cheerful. I would buy it in a heartbeat if I had the money. Do you have any before photos?

I don’t have ”before” pictures, but the decorator does. I need to get them from her.

I’ve figured out part of the issue with the bed. It is FLAT. It is an electric adjustable split-king bed with a 12” gel foam mattress. When I stripped it yesterday to wash the sheets, I notice it is just flat. The usual rounding that you see between the top of a mattress and the sides is missing on this bed. It pretty much has to be what it is because of the way it has to bend when the head or foot is being raised/lowered. The mattress is comfortable for me, so I hesitate to add toppers. When winter gets here and I put the down comforter on it, it’ll look fluffier.

It is also too low to the ground for me, but it is what was needed for DH. If/when I move, I may buy something new and smaller.

The decorator had a vision of a totally white bed with just a tad of blue in a throw pillow. I’ll see if she has a source for a blue cashmere throw.

Tina, I don’t know where my response to your comment went. The painting over the sofa isn’t as dark as it appears. That wall was not getting much light when I took the pictures. It isn’t as light as the two new pieces but the colors do relate better than it appears.

That makes sense regarding the picture. The colors are beautiful. You probably know I have a fondness for the blues and greens.

As far as I know, you can use any mattress on an adjustable base. We have a deep mattress (they seem to be bigger/deeper now!) on ours. But if the mattress is comfortable for you - don't mess with it! LOL

“I love what you've done with the place!” seriously, I think it lools great.

I can’t see the issue with the bedroom rug.

As for the bed, I’d do things:

1. Add square euro pillows to build up to the square-ish painting

2. Get an oversized poly (not down) comforter/duvet to build a plush feel.

1929, my issue with the rug is that it looks like a berber carpet turned into an area rug. I chose poorly.

Got it. For a bedroom, I don’t think its a bad thing, but understand its not what you had in mind.

I can't really see the the fireplace art, but I really like the church painting and love how your bedroom chair turned out. Your home looks warm and welcoming, but also fresh and uncluttered. It should be easy to sell if you decide to go that route.

I love it BBX, it’s got a very warm and inviting feel. The new art is pretty and the paint color is really lovely too. You won’t have a problem selling if you decide to go that route, good job!

What a pretty house! I love it. I especially love the (front?) double doors.

That's funny what you said about the bed; it is flat, like a furniture showroom. A comforter will solve that in no time! I agree square Euro shams would be nice there
