One single decorative wood ceiling beam... random?
Comments (16)Thanks for the exterior photo. I was wondering if there was someplace on the exterior of the house where you could also place a couple of beams (above the garage doors?) but there doesn't seem to be anyroom for them. I would put it up and if you or your wife don't like it at some future time, leave it up and just paint it. It will help to define the space between the kitchen and the eating area. I live in a post-and-beam house. A lot of people don't like them but I do. The beam between the living room and dining room is painted and is very similar to what you are doing. We have vaulted ceilings but our rooms aren't very big so the living room only has one large exposed beam with one post. When we renovated the house we vaulted the eating area/family room and exposed another beam....See MoreNeed advice on how to decorate living room/dinning room space
Comments (3)I would like to begin saying that I love the minimalist aesthetic you have. I’m a less is more person and I don’t like random artwork for the sake of filling walls. With that said, I’d like to see more color warmth on the walls. The buttery white is making it too stark. Have you considered painting? I would try the sectional against the buffet wall to free up the window, and add your teal accents into the window treatment. Eliminate the glass table or move it between the chairs. Add more unique floor lamp lighting near the couch. The buffet can then be moved to the kitchen wall....See MoreHow would you decorate this blank space above the toilet?
Comments (61)Gcubed ~ The light does shine whiter in person, so it may be the camera lighting that makes it appear yellowish. Mistakes were made and lessons learned for sure. The tile may be out of vogue, but I do love the colors and opalescence of it. In person, it goes really well with the cabinet color and sparks joy (to me). :) But then there is the major balance issue that can't be overlooked. As several of you pointed out, the mirror isn't working here and the area above the toilet needs *something*. Also possibly a different wall color to provide contrast and balance as well. Fortunately, these fixes can be done relatively inexpensively. Thanks again to all of you for your input!...See Morehow would you guys decorate this space ?
