I Love the storage coffee table. I guess it is less golden than in one of your photos?

Black frame is perfect on the tray.

The only thing to consider is ... frames appear best from the front only, when they are not viewed from behind.

Do you have a black bowl, vase, or some black books? or black artifact or collectible?

This is pretty but might be too fancy for your design

LB, thanks for the ideas. I'm just experimenting here.....black tea cup too frilly here?

that would not be my suggestion..I don’t mind one of the pottery vases but the birds I would say no.

Meant to send this picture..

The tea cup can't be seen. Maybe If black spray paint the plant pot, but it can't be seen either on a dark tray.

Not a teacup..how about the small wood deer I see in the bowl under your elk art?

Your plant would look nice in a small hand made basket like this.....Etsy has some handmade super cute...

how about this look?

I went shopping around my house and found the planter...I'll keep looking.

Love it....! can you set the plant on the book..

Regarding the planter--I was thinking I need a different texture, not more ratten?

Plant on book

Thanks for trying a book, I love the book! Sometimes the best place to shop is Home.

I like the whole arrangement 'Not a Pro'

The plant pot is perfect to repeat textures in a space.

Do you have a white or light beige book to place under the black book? A little bigger than black book or same size. It would be a nice contrast with the tray.

Not a pro..if you fill up that tray you won’t be able to set a drink or snack down?....I think the plant and deer is plenty the book is a bit to big for that small tray.

Yes, there needs to be some space on the tray. I think you need 2 trays for the table top. At least these accessories are a start for you to play with between 2 trays.

Maybe a larger tray? Only if you think it will be more functional. Or 2 separate trays. You can go either way.

Any feedback on which blind to use?

Hi not a pro...they both look the same..need better images to see the difference in them..I think they will look nice so very close .

Do u want filter light; the first one. The second appears more closely woven.

Really depends on how much privacy you want...they both are very nice..you could do a wood color too..

The slightly darker one has light blocking. Long story, but we have enough of either shade to use in this room. The rest of the common areas in my home has the lighter version. Bedrooms have the darker. I want to use what I have as they were quite expensive and will go with rest of house. Nice neutral.

Lighter ones will look nice...

Oh, and the down inserts have arrived as well as the fabric protector. Thank you Julie for the suggestions.

Your very welcome..the room is coming together nicely! So pretty but with a masculine touch....oh good the down will make them fit so cozy on the sofa with a slight chop!:)

New pillows and room for wine glass on tray. haha

Hi, it's looking good! The brown sofa pillow looks very small. What is it complementing?

This pillow needs to be turned so the beige sides are vertical..and if those pillows have down in them give them a soft chop with your hand in the top middle just to soften them a bit..that dog is adorable:) i spy with my little eye a very little pillow...might be better On a chair...just too small :( love the cross on it..maybe mixed with another pillow in a basket on the floor with a small throw..

I like the second one better but what ever you like is also great

Hi, Yes the inserts are down. Removed the itty bitty pillow and will place in basket with throw. The cross leather pillow compliments our beliefs, lol.

Yes, it was too small. The small pillow is better off the sofa.

That little pillow is super cute..believe me we will find the perfect perch for it!:)

Anna banana, hi, this is the new rug.

P4p

Little details are hard to get right. Help please. Maybe basket is too small? Wrong shape?

I like in the basket. I think it's good, otherwise you wouldn't be able to see the pretty pattern.

For the bench, how about a lumbar size pillow for added texture and color?

The basket and pillow look great good job!

Love that bench..it needs nothing on it...

That bench was my first rescue! I crush on houndstooth.

I also snagged a Pendelton throw at Goodwill for $20 !

Houndstooth is my absolute fav! Classic gives in all design styles...great find!

Here is my newly framed art.

Thanks Julie, I painted the bench black and recovered it in the houndstooth fabric.

Art looks great! Ok where is it going?
