Flipping the sofa and the TV is a great idea. When you do it, I'd get a longer media cabinet. Breezy white curtains will go a long way toward making it feel more beachy, but I'd change out the blinds for shades--probably woven woods--as well. You need a much larger rug, or none at all. And I'd have to change that light over the dining table. Something more casual that goes with your seagrass chairs.

There are a couple of ways to treat a round top window. As you stated, one is to have the curtain rod above the top, with curtain panels that open and close. However, for a bedroom that you want to block light, you'd need rather heavy bulky curtains. And you'd have a large stack back for them to be full enough to open/close. You could also have a pleated shade custom cut to the shape of the window. Now the last option is to remove the half circle window. I had one of those in my bedroom and removed it and replaced it with a 12" transom. I also installed an awning outside to block the western sun. I have another of those windows in a family room and had a honeycomb shade made. Honestly, though, the shade is NEVER open, so it defeats the purpose of the window, and I'm considering removing that one as well.

Well, I certainly couldn't have done ANY of this without all of you. I am so happy looking around my new rooms. My favorites: the furniture placement (of course), the art wall, the mantle, the 3 vases on the black tray on the table (although there may be too many flowers in them at the moment), the fabric covered shade in the dining area. the sofa table bookcase, the fireplace screen... I'm going to interrupt myself because now it seems I'm just listing all the changes. It's obviously too hard to pick just 2 or 3 favorites. Theresa, your peonies are gorgeous -- loving the size of those blooms! I hope to follow all of you as you move on to new projects. I consider each one of you a new friend.

well, you could always remove the chair rail. but yes, if you paint the walls, you'll have to pick the same color to carry out through those adjoining halls I think Pale Oak, , Smoke Embers, Nimbus, or Light pewter would all be lovely in your space. I'd also hang a nice piece of art here to tie in the pale aqua chairs, maybe to some pillows on the sofa w/those colors. the fireplace/mantle is way too traditional looking. I'd remove everything. if you want more Boho, try some zellige tile on the surround I love this selection^ or a cement tile with natural wood mantle or, do more of a modern surround w/a marble tile at the very least, do a diff surround w/out the fluting
