Hi Houssaon - yes, I do have sheers on tension rods in the apartment downstairs (the rental). I was thinking of pinched pleated curtains on each side. Too much you think? Do you have thoughts about chair/couch placement? I just measured and I'm not sure I can do the couch and corner TV cabinet without the couch being too far out toward the island bar. I do like the chairs better by the window though. Thank you!

Well you have a round side table wood , coffee table should be wood if you are making it cozier or french . If your going for the eclectic modern twist then go with the glass as to make it larger

I love the idea of an long ottoman as a coffee table, but it would have to be in leather or something else that cats can't scratch on. An upholstered fabric ottoman would be considered a cat scratch post in their world. Still looking for a new small scale coffee table or ottoman (48" or less x 21" or less) and new end table and chair side table. All have to be super small. The end table needs to be less than 17" wide. I definitely want to add more texture. I was thinking next to the love seat I'd put a basket for a blanket or magazines to start adding some texture. I have added the lamp to the corner. Our ceilings are 18' tall. I took another picture of the tapestry. Please let me know if you still think it's hanging too high. Side note: I wanted to hang long curtains to frame that front window but the husband didn't want them. :( So that is not going to happen. Please keep the ideas coming as I'm on my own with trying to figure this stuff out. It doesn't come naturally to me. Thank you!

nope, someone who decries it is wrong is obviously working hard to do so. one can only see them by whipping your head back and forth, offer them a couple aspirins and a pillow for the whiplash and headache that ensues, then smile and enjoy your lovely space.
