Help--Indecision has delayed my needed kitchen by 2 years!
Comments (33)Before cutting holes in the wall, look carefully at your floor plans and try to figure out where there might be empty space. Then do a lot of walking back and forth, looking at the stairs from all angles, including on both levels, to see what you can figure out. Once you think you have a pretty good idea, ask your contractor if you can borrow his camera so you can look inside through a small hole instead of cutting a huge one. Sheet rock is really not that hard to patch. A small hand-saw designed to cut holes in sheet rock is probably not much more than $10. Use a stud-finder to be sure you don't cut into the studs or any electric or water lines....See MorePlease help...need living room and kitchen decorating tips.
Comments (8)Yes, curtains are too short. Think about adding a border out of your citron color--they should just touch the floor. I think you've done a good job choosing colors. Espresso is very dark brown for saca above. Since you already have wall to wall carpet you probably can't use a bigger rug. They are hard to keep flat and they want to crawl. Try centering the rug with the long section of the sofa. Move the end section (lounge) to the other side of the room to a place in front of the curtains to the left of the picture on the floor. Angle the bottom of the lounge toward the sofa. Don't keep the whole sofa attached. Hope this helps.

Comments (233)Leave all the beams...so much personality! Definitely replace lighting and fans. Definitely get rid of white around the windows. Experiment with that...but don't leave all the white around them. Too clinical. No brownish furniture ...... too boring....kills furniture and beams. Have minimal furnishings. You want to show off the terrific structure of the room and highlight the space with just a few interesting pieces of interesting color. No room-sized carpet....can't appreciate floors or carpet! Disperse interesting rugs....See MoreWhat is the best choice for sheer drapes in the master bedroom?
Comments (2)What are the other fabrics in the room? Even with the window film, I'd be concerned about the silk holding up. I'd recommend the linen or even better, a linen blend. There are some beautiful blends on the market that will likely hold up better....See Moreemilysmith2
