Marilyn honey, we built that fence a couple of years ago in April or May! :) There's no way I'd be building fences right now!!! LOL We did, however, finally get some rain yesterday and last night, so I was out at 6 this morning, doing some much needed edging of my garden beds. I also got some more flats filled with potting soil and planted more dl seed. Then I transplante some other potted things into larger pots. UPS came about noon and brought my Daylily World order. So, of course, I had to pot those beauties. Got clumps, not double fans!! Now it's air conditioning and a nice shower for me. No more garden duties today!! Jan

What Mini-Splits Look Like in Your Home what do these systems look like in your home, you ask? https://www.ductless-mini-split-air-conditioner.org/ Indoor Here are a couple of pictures of “indoor units” installed in customer homes. As you can see, the indoor unit is mounted near the ceiling. mini split in home mini split home stock Inside the unit is a fan and a set of self-adjusting louvers. The louvers can be configured by the remote control to sweep back and forth and up and down, or point the cool air in a specific direction or directions. The louver directions are easily set with the remote control. We love our mini-splits because they are quieter than the industrial-strength fans we used to have, and they provide near instantaneous cooling. When the unit is off, the louvers close, making the unit look even sleeker. In this photo, the louvers are closed almost all the way: indoor unit closed The indoor unit is connected to the outdoor unit by two insulated refrigerant pipes and a power line. We only have to drill a 3″ hole through the wall to run the pipes and wire. And, of course, the hole is behind the indoor unit and made weather tight from the outside.

It bothers me when David Visentin says "Dining room area" to describe a room with four walls. He likes to call most rooms "areas" instead of spaces. The term "Open concept" originated in England, I think, and quickly spread to Canada, where Love It or List It originated. I still use the term "open floor plan" instead, which has a longer history. And why do people say "dining room table" instead of "dining table"? In the furniture industry, we never used the term "dining room table". That could refer to any table that happens to be in a dining room. It is similar to people saying "hot water heater" instead of "water heater". You are heating water, you are not heating water that is already hot.

What are you willing/able to do? What, specifically, are you unhappy with? Are you considering replacing the furniture? Paint the walls? Without more information it's difficult for me to make suggestions. However, I'd strongly suggest moving that chair away from the draperies/window. And also change the paint color. Is the room as small as it looks in these pictures? If so, that furniture, in my opinion, is far too large. When you say "Beautify my living room again" (again being the word I'm referring to), what did it look like before when you considered it beautiful? I think you've got a lot to work with. It would also probably be a good idea for you to post this also in the Home Decorating Forum.
