Hi Guys
Greetings from South Africa. I have done some work on my house since my last post (i got the MBA, now looking at PhD programmes). I was wondering if you have any input or constructive criticism on the below pictures. Please

Apologies for the poor picture quality.
Thanks

    I love the wall color in the first photo. But I don't really understand pairing two identical art prints (having two makes both seem less special). I think it would look better with just one, which would also solve the problem of the current art grouping being wider than the table below.


    I really like the artwork in the 4th photo. You have a similar issue here where the art is wide than the furniture below, but it doesn't really bother me here.


    In the bedroom, are those wall-mounted shelved on either side of the bed? In theory, it's a nice clean minimal look but... the outlet and the power cord below make me wish you had a conventional nightstand to cover them up. I also think the room would benefit from some wood or natural materials, and a nightstand would be an opportunity to add that in (and give you a place for a table lamp--I think every bedroom needs lighting next to the bed). I'm not entirely sure what I am seeing on the right--is there a mirror on the wall reflecting a closet door? If it is a mirror, is it for primping or just decor? If decor, it suffers from not reflecting anything interesting, and would be better replaced with artwork. If you use it for primping, carry on.


    I like the chair and the piece above it in the last pic.

    #1 . I wouldn't have two of the same...is there another with ballerina in a different pose?

    #2 It is too large for the little chest. Put it in the bedroom and hang it on the tapestry over bed.

    #3 Put that piece on the wall over the little chest, don't center it until you try the floor plant on the chest.

    #3 Not lovin' the chair between the two doors. Do you have a mirror? Maybe a little shelf...



    Congrats on the advanced degree.

    Thank you💐

    Is it okay if i remove one of the ballerinas? The wall is a bit too wide and i am scared that one ballerina on will seem bare?

    #2 I agree. It is large. The tapestry over the bed is a headboard and i cannot hang anything on top of it. Will it help if i get a longer table underneath?

    #3. Noted. Thank you. I will purchase a mirror soon.

    I appreciate your feedback.

    @cawaps Thank you💐 Yes, they are wall mounted shelves but i dddislike them too. Planning on getting night stands, i will make sure they are wooden as per your suggestion. The gold bowls on the shelves are lamps. The mirror is just for primping.

    Thank you for the feedback.

    I also have this space in the bedroom and i don't know what to do with it. Help!

    Noznoz, if the door wouldn't bang into it, a floor plant might look nice in place of the chair.

    drsaj, thank you for your feedback. Please excuse my ignorance, what is a floor plan? Is it possible to show it in a picture?

  • 5 years ago

    A floor plant is a plant that sits in a container on the floor, like this one.

  • 5 years ago

    Oh. Right. Thank you. I had read it as "floor plant". I have a large mostera outside, will it work inside? (ignore the chair)

  • 5 years ago

    Noznoz, it looks like it might work. Does that spot get the right amount of sunlight for whatever the plant needs? If so, can you move it to the inside spot and take another picture?

    Great idea to put a console behind the bed and lean the art against the tapestry. The console (no need to go to expense because you won't see it) will pull the bed out a bit and give you a place for lamp and maybe a plant?

    I'm excited...lovely lady, with great tapestry back drop and lighting. Yeah!


    P S..make sure the art doesn't fall you. : > }

    Found this online: Place your Montera where it can receive medium to bright indirect light. While it is tolerant of lower light conditions, you may notice leggy growth as a result, so a spot where it will receive bright indirect light a few feet removed from a southern, western, or eastern facing window is ideal.

    drsaj, it has been doing very well in that spot, had to take off a few leaves because it keeps having babies. There's a new one on the way already. I have been meaning to bring it in though so i love your idea. Its night time here, i will send updated pictures in the morning. Do you have any idea what i can do this space? It's in my bedroom. That's what i face when I'm in bed.

    judiana20, oh, wow! That is a beautiful picture and definitely doable. I will get on the hunt for a console. Thank you very much for the encouragement. I love beautiful spaces but i have 1 percent knowledge of decor but i am very willing to learn. I appreciate people like you.

    @judiana20 @drsaj @cawaps i don't know if you guys have heard that South Africa is currently going through civil unrest so we are staying indoors because people are looting stores. It's crazy. @Judiana i ended up making my own console as a temporary solution. What do you think? I also removed 1 ballerina (excuse the poor picture quality). The spots around it are wall filler that i haven't painted over yet. Hope you guys are well.
