My next house project:
Next project is aging my walls . Since we just built and moved into our new home a month ago. We have had family from the north with more to come soon. So once I get more time and more settled getting more of a feel for our new place, I will then start in slowly adding more of our personality's into our home, Cant wait. I love love love to decorate. I am not a professional by any means but love bargains and special finds that fit into our lives and make our home as warm and as welcoming as I can.. My favorite style is a home that anyone can walk into and feel as if they have been hugged.

    rinqreation Yes, a corner sofa would fit in. Again, find one with slim cushions and legs, nice and tight.

    Lisa Quinlan Design you don't have to fill it all the way up, but you can. You can also create a visual ending just above the windows. It depends how you want the room to feel, keeping it lower would feel more cozy, filling all the way might feel more grand or voluminous. Here are some photos where they filled it up with threes. You could also use one tall mirror with a curved or scalloped top. You don't want to introduce another rectangle. That's partly why I like the tree, even though it's on straight canvas the image itself is organic.

    rubicondreamer Thanks for sharing, I have a 7x9 laundry and need the storage so this would really work. This room is also my "mudroom" as a door leads from the garage into the room, and then another door brings you into eat in area of kitchen.
