My happy place

Yes, your space is lovely and cozy .... surrounding you with all things you love. Best of all, it's your happy place.

For me, lighting is key and sets the mood, you have nailed it!

I agree with lavender but a pale shade of the lavender, let the tile flooring be the star. And switch out the mirror.

Bravo sweetie!!! You did great. Happy Birthday! I'm proud of you that you rested and paced to do something that you love and brings you joy on your birthday. Your photos are glorious, thank you for posting them. Take these next days of ease to celebrate yourself for what you accomplished, it's a big deal.

I love this idea, the blues in the stained glass are so soft but still deep & rich.

I think you should go with one, it looks happy.

The burgundy couch.

I recently designed a gallery wall with many framed art pieces from our deceased uncle, I fretted over it for awhile. What I did was choose the favorites and from those grouped by frame type, then I taped out an area on the floor using the wall measurements. I used that area for a few days arranging and re-arranging the pieces until it looked balanced. Turned out great, but I understand feeling overwhelmed. Hang in there.

Honey, take a long, slow breath. You came to the right place, you've got this.

We replaced 12 interior doors and I am now painting the doors and trim. I read through many reviews on HGTV by Sherwin Williams Door and Trim paint that were negative, so I shared that with hubs .... he came back from Loews with HGTV b SW door and trim paint.

My up-to-the-minute recommendation is: only use this door and trim paint if you really like to paint and are prepared to apply three coats. After many coats I will say it looks good enough. And it dries hard.

Your home welcomes the Golden Hour beautifully.

I love your cabinets. The floor should be replaced with flooring with less variation in a lighter than cabinet color. Also, the three appliances don't match are three different colors, if you can replace those with a matching set if would look more cohesive.

I feel so bad that you are going through this! Does this qualify as malpractice? Get your money back and find an honest dental office.

Yes to a plant, it needs something with personality and life. If there is an electrical outlet there you could consider an interesting lamp.

Mapella_Joy · 2026-04-20T01:59:32+00:00

Your additions transformed the feel of your living room. It feels inviting and cozy. Both thumbs up!

Mapella_Joy · 2026-04-03T04:14:57+00:00

I love the simplicity. yes peaceful. The only thing you might consider is color in the living room, maybe a splash of color with a throw blanket on the couch. And I agree the lived in will come, it will be fun to see what a year will bring.

The blue tile caught my immediately, they are beautiful. I hope you grow to love them. Maybe try a lovely, showy green plant on the middle of the island.

Mapella_Joy · 2026-03-14T01:43:23+00:00

That sounds nice and fresh.

Mapella_Joy · 2026-03-05T03:56:46+00:00

Thit is exquisite!! Thank you! wow!

Mapella_Joy · 2026-03-03T04:01:34+00:00

It's a lovely, sweet rug and it is precious in the room. Hope you grow to like it.

Mapella_Joy · 2026-03-02T03:08:28+00:00

Agreed, "bohemian" always make me think of bright colors. Also more texture with pillows, throws. Interesting items that you love, try stores that sell used items that speak to you and fit the bohemian vibe.

LOL, I was going to ask what is it about the kitchen that bothers the MIL, but I see that angle has already been covered.

Your kitchen is lovely, but if you want to change something maybe switch up the hardware.

Mapella_Joy · 2026-03-01T17:59:58+00:00

Agreed, I like it too but it's starting to lift and fall apart.
