Helpful? Expensive? interior decorator
Comments (4)I will probably not answer your question right, but a while back we bought furniture from a furniture store and got their 'free' decorator to come out and look at our home. She really helped us pick out the right size/shape/style of sofas for our difficult-to-decorate rooms. She also helped with the furniture placement, which was critical, as I have an open floor plan with NO walls that are at a 90 degree angle. She also suggested additional items that we were not interested in at that time, but have since added them on our own. She went through the whole house, and if I had been smarter, would have asked her for her opinions on every room - whether I was getting furniture for that room or not! Hope this helps a little bit....See MoreInterior Decorating Boost Help Needed
Comments (31)Betsy, I love Collingwood. I only now just saw your comment and it seems serendipitous because I have pretty much settled on Collingwood for my open floor plan! Still working on getting that entryway put together and will post pics once it is set :) Thanks again for all of your help!...See MoreBougth cabin on RIver. Please help with interior design-decor!
Comments (29)Really nice find. Agree you should address the potential hazard of the wood stove near all that wood -- consider having a pro take a look at it and suggest options. On that taxidermy suggestion ... IF you (or your family member) caught it or killed it and proudly had it mounted by a pro, then yes; however, if you didn't, please don't hang someone else's trophy on your wall. Furnish this cabin for use by the number of people who will be using it most often -- not by the maximum you'll have only once a year. You can always keep some reasonably comfortable folding chairs for guests rather than cluttering up your space with additional seating rarely used. It appears that adding some storage might be in order -- go vertical to get the most storage from the footprint of any items you add. Some kitchen storage around your refrigerator is well worth considering. That cabinet in the corner is claiming a lot of space for the amount of storage it actually delivers. Items with multiple purposes could be worthwhile. A large storage ottoman could be a window seat and provide guest seating as well as storage. Choosing one with a lid that flips from a solid side to a cushioned side would mean it could be used as a coffee table or ottoman -- by adding wheels, you could more easily move it to use it for those additional purposes. You might want to rethink the rugs you're using by the door by the kitchen -- replacing the two with one longer runner (one that will catch pine needles and dirt) that is small enough to be washable in the largest machine at the local coin laundry would be a good idea ... especially if you choose the rug with the additional objective of making certain is not a potential stumble hazard. A cabin makes a great place leaving behind the drama(s) of daily life. That usually means that keeping any people pictures to be displayed to a minimum -- even zero -- is a good idea. Your cabin is located within an actual nature scene so you don't need to hang pictures of that kind because they'll not be able to compete with the real thing just outside the window ... and shouldn't try. If y'all have a hobby or passion, especially if its something you both enjoy, consider art that would convey your interests without overwhelming your space. https://www.touchofclass.com/rhythm-metal-wall-sculpture/p/Y647-001/ http://www.metal-wall-art.com/sailboat-tranquility-metal-sculpture.html https://www.jatashop.com/row-boaters-metal-wall-art.html https://www.ebay.com/itm/Golf-Scene-Steel-Wall-Art-24-Diameter-PGA-LPGA-Golfer-Metal-Man-Cave-Decor-/182259547516 https://www.touchofclass.com/rhythm-metal-wall-sculpture/p/Y647-001/ Aside from a couple of minimalist art pieces to make your cabin your space reflecting your personal interests and tastes, wall art should be kept to a minimum. Let the windows and view hold sway. You have some large windows for enjoying the view. Consider adding some stained glass -- and not necessarily larger window hangings; a few of the smaller, thicker Tiffany style glass sun catchers could both reflect your personal interests and compliment the natural light shining through your windows. Easily changed, sun catchers could laud your pet(s) and/or acknowledge the changing seasons and/or celebrate different holidays and/or occasions. Enjoy your space....See Moredecoration/interior design help (Bay Area/peninsula)
