Molly that chair is fabulous! sofa looks so comfy but did you go smaller on size compared to what you had? time for a new rug!

It is a little shorter because the next size up was 8” longer (4 more than the old one) and would have been too big.

Very nice Molly, and the chair too!😊

Thanks gls and happy. 🙂

Wow 😍 Looks great!

I Love both the sofa and chair. They did a great pattern match job on the chair too! The sofa cushions look like down? Looks comfy!

You’re in the Chicago area, right? I was there a week ago. We stopped through for 1 night on our way to our daughter in St Louis after a vacation in Michigan. I loved what we saw of the Chicago downtown area for a quick trip. We ate at Pizano’s pizza and had this gentleman server (the Chach) who’s been there for 50 years who was a hoot! I think I see the lake out of your window view?!

It looks great Molly! I forgot how much I love that painting. It's beautiful.

Love the new furniture Molly! Great color and fabric choices! 😊

Thanks Vanessa! I am in Chicago and you are very observant, I do have a lake view that I love. Hope you enjoyed the pizza and come ago for a longer visit. 🙂

Beautiful, these turned out so great in your space. Colors are so rich.

I am in need of replacement blinds for the bedroom and got these sample from blinds.com. The existing color and the sample on the top right are very close to each other. Thoughts on the samples?

My vote is #1 chevron stripe and #2 is tweed cream #3 is Farmhouse Linen

Personally, I always try to go with the one closest to the wall color if the wall is a neutral. If it is a color, I try to compliment the wall color?

Tweed Cream and Chevron Stripe

Top sample the first row the middle or the right one

Back to my shades. I have narrowed it down to these 3 Hunter Douglas options. The Rory All White (lightest), Rory Brushed Beige (darkest) and Belfast Linen Homespun (middle color)? Thoughts?

Bumping for some input @homeinteriorswithease @windowaccendsbyvanessa @kjoy1 and anyone else. Attached is another picture I took last night.

I would go with the lightest one.

Thanks Julie. There will be a blackout lining, does that change your mind at all?

I too would go with the lightest one. Being blackout is all the more reason. And I like the Belfast pattern.

No not at all …lightest one is still my pick😊

Lightest for sure.

I don't have a preference Molly but I'm sure it will look great! I love all your choices so far.

Aww, thanks Pool! I was down in Galveston for a trial last month and enjoyed the city. We stayed over at the Tremont House on the port side. We all agreed it was a good place for a trial.

Oh I love the Tremont! We go in there in sometimes for a drink when walking the Strand area.

I have a few friends living in Galveston now. It's only an hour drive from me

I agree with the lightest color! I’ve been with the grandkids in MO for a week so I was barely online and just now seeing this!

Thanks everyone! I ordered the lightest one and will post a picture, in about a month, after they are installed.

Finally got the new shades installed and am very happy with the purchase. It’s hard to get a good picture of the color, but it pretty closely matches the wall color.

The shades are very nice Molly

Perfection! I’ve never seen that particular style of shade. A great combination of texture and colour choice.

They look great Molly!

How is your xmas decorating coming along? How are you doing?

Such a pretty tree Molly!

Thanks Parker! Nice to see you popping into Houzz. 🙂

That view is stunning and cold!!

Flo we have had 17” of snow already, way ahead of what we normally have at this point!

The shades look great Molly! I am so happy you are pleased with them. Your tree is very pretty, and you have a beautiful view!🥰

Molly I love your tree! You ARE ahead of me for sure!

I have one gift so far. I've been watching some items and now my kids have all new gift wishes they want! So I had to start over on big gifts haha

Pale Oak fits your space well because it lightens the walls without washing them out and it works with java floors and cream upholstery. Natural Choice does the same thing but reads a touch softer in morning light. Both keep things bright without drifting into gray, so the blue furniture stays crisp and the warm wood still feels grounded. Worldly Gray might feel heavier with your southeast light, so testing larger samples on the darkest wall will help you see the difference fast.

New shades are in your bedroom, right? What is your wall color? Is it the same as in your living room? What is that kind of shade called? (Sorry if you’ve stated any of this info recently…I can’t scroll back.

If you meant the name of the shade would be the brand name I think it's a zebra but it's a textured color and it might be a solar shade kind or an accordion kind

Hi dsimber. My wall color is BM China White and the shades are Hunter Douglas 4" Full Fold in Rory with a blackout lining.

Zande thank you for your input, but I painted a number of years ago.

Thanks, Molly. It looks well-coordinated. Nice work. Decisions are so hard!

Molly I love the shade color with your walls. I wanted to ask about the photo where both shades are shown side by side, the shade on the right looks different than the left (the folds don’t line up). Do they always do that or did you roll the right shade down further than the left? I’m making sure that they do actually line up (since these are Hunter Douglas, which is top of the line they should look identical.). I hate saying anything because they are the perfect style and color but with what these cost, they should have symmetrical folds on equal length windows.

Ps. I’m asking about the photo where the shades are in the closed position! I didn’t clarify that in my above post.

Thanks Vanessa, I think the one on the right is just not all the way down. I’ll check later when I close them tonight.

After looking at the photo again, I think the right shade wasn’t completely closed and that’s why the folds weren’t lining up. Sorry!! My eye goes right to “details” on window treatments. I guess it’s a symptom of my job (which is no longer a job. I retired in September!).

Congrats on your retirement Vanessa, I am hoping to do the same next year. 🤞Here is a picture of the shades fully closed. I am also a detail person so appreciate your eye for those types of things. Hope you enjoy l the holidays with your family. Any little ones around?

Those look perfect now!! Haha. I’m enjoying retirement so far. I plan to do more volunteering next year. We have our 5th grandchild due in January so lots of excitement next year! Merry Christmas!
