I agree with Bronwynsmom in that you have to decide what is inspiring you in the inspiration room. Although the bird headboard is the icing on the cake of that room, if you took the birds away, the spirit of the room is still the same. That specific headboard itself could appear in 10 different rooms ten different ways. The inspiration room is an interplay between a large mass (the bed) and negative spaces (spare windows doorways and bedside tables) and light and dark. Or is it the motifs/individual elements that inspire you? That would be a different dirction for the room. If you are inspired by elements, you could end up with a room that is still quite nice, but completely different than the inspiration. Inspiration can be an interesting thing: I have had clients show me rooms they "loved" only to determine that they disliked many things about it except one key element. And that element was so important in their visualization that they screened out everything else. So, what is it about the room that inspires you? What elements are not important? These are things to think about.

What Roarah suggested the first time, except add a hearthside rocker (just an idea, something I love). Buy some cabinets for the tv and stereo that are solid wood and go with the style and woodwork of your house. Get those speakers up off the floor. You should have room for all sorts of fun media stuff there, but put it in something solid wood looking to go with the style of your house. Put the TV on a swivel base so you can turn it slightly depending on who else is sitting in the room watching TV with you, if ever! If you go with what Roarah suggested in the second post, then go for low minimal profile for the tv stand and maybe mount the speakers on some shelves kitty corner from the windows, if you can do that. Or on the shelves next to the fireplace, although I can't see if there is room or if the shelves can be moved up or down. I would absolutely not mess with the casing, but perhaps making the shelves adjustable would not be sacrilege. I'd try and avoid it if possible, but I too have ginormous speakers with great sound that I am loathe to trade in for the newer, smaller digital models.

I’d say the larvae sounds like fungus gnat larvae so does the worm type things the larvae can range from clear to brownish and, it’s most likely if it is fungus gnats due to the dead nerve plant or overwatering or both add 3 percent hydrogen peroxide to your soap water mix (1 part peroxide to 4 parts water) spray the soil for 7 days or water your plants with it as a flush for the larvae get neem oil for the adult gnats if you start seeing them it also kills many other house plant pests and make sure it’s safe for your plants in particular.

Raye, I am absolutely positive that if the lights gave them headaches i would hear about it endlessly. As I said those people who whine LOVE to do so about anything and everything they can. So if they had a solid medical reason to complain they would without hesitation. They turn them on because they are fuddy duddies which is not a medical condition but a character flaw. How do I know? For years there was an orange tabby cat named Joe at the facility. Some of us would let him in the office to sleep or hang out from time to time. The night fuddy duddy did not know this for around 6 months. When he found out,all of a sudden he feigned an allergy to cats. I still let the cat in. I do have an allergy to cats,a pretty severe one and simply took a Claritin every day. Didnt bother me.I told night fuddy duddy I stopped letting him in. Magicaly his deathly cat allergy didnt bother him anymore when he didn't think there was something to back it up. (He has 3 cats in his home now,btw. They belong to his grandaughter, who lives with him. This was a few years ago and he denies any of it happened) This man has had every joint replaced or tuned up in the years I have been there. And I JUST worked two of HIS shifts in a row because he got a flu shot and now thinks he's is on deaths door. If the lights gave him a headache, I would know about it. He calls me at least twice a week while I am at work to list his ailments. The day fuddy duddy decorates her own home and was VERY proud of her tree which rotates and changes colors and has several different light patterns. She only makes snide comments about MY decor. As I said before,she has a difficult and undesirable personality that leads her to disparage others efforts for whatever reason. And that does not apply to just me or my decor. Anything positive or fun that any of us try to do she has something nasty to say about it. Its. WEIRD. Besides, both of them declare they LOVE the decor and look forward to it and ask me when it's going up. Then it goes up, and the mood changes..... Tell you what. I'll mention your headache suggestion to them. They probably just haven't thought of it,as it doesn't apply to them. The would LOVE another reason to complain. Even if it's a lie.
