It looks like you need help with the bedroom. So, take better pics that are not fuzzy and the pics should show all 4 walls.

Also - what do you really need advice on? Paint color? Bedding? Curtains? Furniture layout? Etc...

A floor plan with dimensions indicating all windows and doors would also help to give you valuable suggestions.

I wanted to do an update. We were wondering if we should do some updates on our home even if we planned to move in a couple of years. We decided to go ahead and make our home more comfortable and pleasant for use to live in. I realize we might not get the money back, but in the mean time we are enjoying our house a lot more. We got a new heatpump and AC a year ago, it cost $4,100. I noticed our electric bills have been lower and the system works very well. We also got the kitchen cabinets refaced, and all new full extention drawers and knobs. That cost about $4,500. We updated our old range and OTR microwave for about $1,000. We had done the countertops, backsplash, sink, faucet, and floor about 5 years ago. In the bathrooms we got granite countertops, undermount sinks, and new faucets, and put frames around both mirrors. That cost $2,000. My husband raised the height of the countertop in the masterbath and built a large drawer with an electric stip in it for my hair dryer and flat iron. I stained the cabinets a deeper color to finish updating the look. We had replaced the floors with heated floor tiles in a travertine looking tile earlier. Lastly, we replaced all the windows (I decovered several of them were mildly fogged). That cost $4,800. We also replaced a couple of ceiling fans. We paid cash for everything and I think we got good value for what we did. I am much happier with my home now.

IMO pillars don't go with your house. There is a few ways you can dress this up, I would consider doing something like this just to give you an idea. You can also dress up the corners using white trim board, etc Good luck

Improve curb appeal: First home help; Front landscaping suggestions?

Flo, I like your sketch very much (although without knowing the basic sun/wind info I mentioned above, it may or may not be what she needs.) However, the suggestion of polished black Japanese river stones for a first time home owner in Oklahoma is probably not helpful.b You will drain her budget and she will find herself looking at dusty, not shiny, stones. If she likes your concept of creating a dry bed/ river effect (as I do), you or someone else might teach her how to do this with grasses native to her area. Ones that can be easily propagated by division, require no water or weeding, and will blow in her prairie breezes while attracting birds and wildlife. Can, I urge you to google images of landscapes by Oehme, Van Sweden. They are known for using sweeps of native plants, especially grasses. My suggestion to you is to play around with flexible hoses or ropes in dividing your wide open space to see what shapes please you. Then imagine the spaces filled with different color blocks of various heights. Which ones do you want moving, which ones static? Designing a three dimension landscape from scratch like yours can be overwhelming. Break it down into digestible parts. 1) Gather all information about your conditions. 2) Get out the hoses and ropes and draw on the ground like a canvas.

vertical/board and batten for my basic contemporary home revamp
Q

Take a look at the board and batten homes here. There are some good examples how to mix it up. I think you ideas sound interesting, although I would not do white doors. I am not a fan of the stacked small stone, If you do clad use a veneer that looks like stone that could be used to build a foundation. Otherwise, just stucco and paint to match your siding. This space uses a mix of siding.

I like the blue curtains. Get bedding in that color. The bed could use a headboard for more presence.

Dressers should not be next to each other. Maybe get one bigger one.

I don't see any artwork. Put up a picture you like.

You could use an area rug next to the bed. White would be nice.

It's difficult to see much of the room to get a good idea but here are some suggestions taking into consideration the colour of your walls.

- Give your dressers a fresh coat of white paint and unify them by using the same pulls on both, I show 2 options, 1) White finger pulls if your drawers can take them or 2) silver finish pulls. Or, option 3) no pulls at all depending on how the drawers are made.

- If you don't have one, get a headboard, I show an inexpensive rattan one

- A blue & green bedspread or duvet cover with propped-up pillows against the headboard

- Artwork you like picking colour from the bedspread

- White curtains, they could be with grommets, they'll look good on the rod (they should be hung higher up on the wall than what you presently have

- A natural fiber mat, I show a blue on with natural edge but could also be all natural.
