" Well, I finally hired a designer" ........and there you GO. And it would appear you are trusting and listening which is yet better : )

Big difference! Well done!

Thank you, all. And, yes, I listen but cannot take complete credit for that because to give credit where credit is due: My ID is an EXCELLENT communicator.

P.s. More than mirror

Now can someone here please help me choose outdoor lights? See my other posts, please

Sconce on the wall & art gone. End table and table lamp gone too!! Along with a ton of accesories gone too. Drapes/sheers and rod gone too. Hooray. Much cleaner look already.

Looks like you added recessed lights too!! Really brightens the room. Can't wait to see the new furniture and it stylized..

Yep, the sconce. Now that's a good eye! I moved it to the hallway, which I also had painted the same color. The window shutters were also removed and I will have window treatments installed.

Re the lamp/table, etc, everything but the wall unit and ceiling fan - anything and everything in the way of furniture in that room - will be removed, GONE. finis.

p.s. I never picked out the original furniture.

great start!
