Another angle

I can only speak to Shoji White. A realtor recommended it for staging. Normally I like a bit more contrast but it was really a gorgeous color. You didn’t ask for other advice but it looks like you have a few different trim styles in this room. I would suggest removing the floral embellishment that is on a few panels.

I’m open to any and all advice! 100% that floral embellishment is coming done ASAP. Lol

Oh and the chandelier I’m thinking! Replacing both fans with these.

May I ask a quick off-topic question? How long have you lived in the home?

I wanted to ask, because sometimes in those big two story spaces, the fans play a vital role in the management of temperature- both in hot and cold weather. If you're new to the home, you might want to live there for a bit before you decide whether the fans can be removed.

Good point! We have not moved in yet, I was thinking the same thing and might just wait a bit before I change.

I agree with G W 100 percent, and was going to type pretty much what they just said. I wouldnt touch those fans, until you have lived there through all 4 seasons.

On my screen alabaster looks like the best match and what I’d select.

I’d find very prominent eye catching rugs to help reduce the vast dark wood space and bring the feeling of the room literally back down to earth. This space is almost too vast and airy and needs some grounding.

The little window into the kitchen feels silly. I’d close it up if not too difficult.

Kendrah- thank you! Yes the current rugs are also going! That’s what made me think I need some chandeliers to lower the focus alittle and it’s not so empty. Also agree the little window from the sink to the would be TV is outdated!

Going back to the trim, I wonder if you could remove the arches that sit above the upstairs railing. Could it be more open rather than framed out in three sections? so you could remove the little spaces between each opening? Perhaps it is needed for structural reasons. There is a lot of arch trim on that wall (too much); agree with Kendrah that the kitchen opening feels a little porthole-like. Close it or go bigger?

Ohhh Amy, I like that idea of removing the arches on the upstairs! Closing it would probably fit more in the budget right now since there are cabinets and appliances in the other side of the wall. Definitely a project for another year! Lol but love the idea!!
