Something is missing
I’ve been decorating this space for three months now and not sure how I feel about it. I want to do something to make it look less boring - possibly wallpaper in the breakfast nook but the wallpapers I like look too busy and honestly, I don’t have a natural eye for design. Any ideas? My space is very open.

Something I missed back in June
Comments (11)I was at Cochato this summer and saw that plant. What a beauty. Wish it was in my garden. I would even be happy to have the original "Krugerand" (on my lust list) because I have a thing for the golds. By the way, Cochato Nursery's display gardens are a "must see" for any hostaholic visiting Massachusetts!...See MoreI stopped chemical fertilizing but now something seems missing,...
Comments (71)"Persistent animations may be related to psychoactive consumables...especially if no one else is seeing them. :-o " Psychoactive Consumables, you mean virtual pot? Maybe it sounds as if you are suggesting a psychosis happening here, that I may be the only one who gets them... Hmmm conspiracy! Even if you don't believe in it doesn't mean that they are not out to get you. I refer to the ads that want to grab your attention using movement. For those with the dyslexic attribute, they are so distracting that the web page is rendered useless. I have to move that section of the page to be off the side of the monitor. It would be nice to have a switch to kill all animations. "Ying tong yiddle I po" Have you looked it up? (: Think Groucho Marx.......See MoreFeels like something’s missing...
Comments (15)Thanks for the feedback, everyone! I was afraid to post a photo where the signage was too small, and have included a photo of the full wall in this comment. My issue is the plantation shutters on either side of the decor - if I go bigger than this, I’m concerned that I would lose the ability to leave the shutters open if I wanted. Grateful for all of your ideas!...See MoreSomething is missing/ just not right...
Comments (32)This isn't exactly a flat saltbox like yours, but note the white fence, small portico, bright red door, and the cream window and soffit trim. Granted it doesn't have the too-close-to-the door window problem. Window grilles would help as budget allows. These mash ups of housing styles that get built make it so hard for later homeowners to improve. Whoever built this should've done a full-on saltbox with evenly spaced windows....See Morekandrewspa
last yearThe only color you have is one yellow pillow and the vase of flowers. I would prefer more color, but some people like a neutral color scheme like you have. Is it only the dining area that is bothering you? Dining rooms in general are harder to make interesting because the table takes up so much space. I will say that unless that table is square I would try it in the other direction, and even if you don't like color, drapes with a pattern would perk up the space. This isn't quite your style, but it does show how much more interesting patterned drapes are:

last yearlast modified: 12 months agoConsider grid molding on the larger wall (not hard to do or expensive).
The two lights are not balanced over table and if budget allows, I’d repair the ceiling and add electrical for one chandelier and suggest a centrepiece with more visual weight.
In living room, I’d place the two small prints above each other for a more modern feel. Try the black piece of furniture flush against wall and balance other side of console with large art. If you don’t have a rug, it can create interest and add complementary cushions.
Could reaccessorize console.

Below are some of our designs to aid you with your dilemma. Please note the rugs, pillows, artwork, layouts, window treatments, etc.
