Kandrewpa, thanks! I agree about the rug. It does look better than in person but o do think it needs to be replaced!

I love lamps so I'd replace the can light over the sink with a pendant which would fill the space. This is not practical, I realize, and the recessed lighting you have is probably much better. :)

I WOULD put something there though, because I like stuff. You sure don't need it. Everything looks good.

@Fori I love your idea about the light fixture above the sink. My only issue is that the light as it is now is about 1-2” off center. I had considered putting a hanging light there but I feel that it would accentuate the problem. I can’t have it moved because of a support beam. Ugh.

So, I think if I were to put something above the window…I’d keep it very simple.

Nothing above the window. I’ve read not to decorate space far above your head. Makes sense to me.

I think a hanging light would be perfect and satisfy your need to add something.

Glass shelf across the window and add a few pots of pretty little plants

Some good lighting and no fan in a kitchen ever as for the decor above the window a big no

No to anything above the window, it looks good as it is.

@mytwocents I’m really into trees & birds. Thank you for pointing out the tree of life.

I was just looking at this pair of gazelles

Those are really cool!

Looks really nice as is! The view from the window‘s a great focal point.

Glad you like the gazelles. They do go with your faucet as well as your cabinets. .)

Depending on your house and its mood, this might be interesting -- it's a carved wood ventilation/screen panel -- although it is considerably wider than your window and would fill the whole space vertically at 11.5 inches -- risky, but thought you might like to see it in your search for cool non-verbal

but I think in person in might look very global, perhaps boho

Nothing. Leave it alone.

I think you can shimmy a lamp canopy to cover up a slight offness if you wanted to.

But because it is nice as is, you can always just wait. If you run across something right, you'll know it.

(Never give up your ceiling fan. Never!)

You have a very nice view of what looks like a forest out your window. I would not distract from that view in any way. I love your tree of life wall decor. I think I would use a much smaller rug if front of the sink and I would get decorative towels for hanging on your range. I like the ceiling fan in your space--I actually think it gives a finished look at the ceiling height, so no need for extra decor at that level at all.

Thanks!!!!

The room looks wonderful! I don’t think you need art or anything over the window, especially as it’s trimmed out so nicely and it’s a narrow space.

It’s like beautifully framed art in itself — lush and green in summer, sculptural in winter. :)

Agree! everyone’s eyes will go straight out the window - lovely view

I don’t love dark windows at night so I’d add a simple bamboo shade for nightime coziness but that’s just a me thing

la_la, I agree … I wouldn’t want a dark hole at night reflecting everything. I’d have a shade like you mentioned, or simple scalloped fabric roller shade, or cafe curtains (inside mount) I could keep open during the day and closed at night.

Thank you for everyone that advised me to swap out my rug for a simple update. I went ahead and bought a small Ruggable. I like the fact I can wash it and I got the thicker pad so it it nice under foot. Some may hate the design but I’m a big lover of birds and William Morris designs. The colors work with well with the greys & taupes in the counters. I’m happy. 😊
