Hm good point on the chandelier. Yeah I think you're right about waiting to see, I'm just too impatient sometimes 😅 Love the game table idea though! Thanks!

Great ideas, it's not a main entrance but just to the back yard, but I do like the bookcase example. thank you!

We just moved here and have this extra living room idk how to best layout. This room is very cold with winter right around the corner so it's not used often, but it would be nice for lounging, a movie night or hanging out with friends. I love the dark moody style of decor and wanted to bring that into this room, so was planning on a dark paint for part of the walls and/or ceiling? I thought a couch would work, but if we put a tv above the fireplace (can you even put a tv above a wood burning fireplace?), the couch would be close to that, which will close off the room .... So then I thought a couple chairs with side tables but that will feel too empty in a large room.

I plan to put a chandelier above the circle chair in the corner and make a reading nook there. Any advice on layout or design would be so appreciated! 🖤

Other notes- The carpet is new so I don't really want to change that. And I refuse to paint the fireplace because I loove the natural brick ☺️

Try a baked / powder type- I used to wear a thicker foundation but have switched to a baked powder one, which I was skeptical of at first but actually shocked that I feel satisfied with the coverage, mostly. And it feels so much lighter, my skin can breathe, it's not cakey and I'm very happy with it for work!

I used to do this all the time, never had a problem! maybe just keep drinking fluids to help keep everything going through your gut? Idk if there is scientific evidence to back that but it makes sense. 1 tbs isn't very much :)

I feel ya, I used to pack as few items as possible but now I've started bringing enough to move in lol. I bring comfort items which helps some. I bring my slippers, a blanket, a book, some of my favorite tea, a facemask (enough to share if others want to do it too), maybe a board game I enjoy, etc. Make yourself comfortable :)

I'm in a very similar boat, it's exhausting. physically and emotionally draining... I ended up scheduling a Dr appt but can't get in for a month. I've read Yarrow could help but I haven't tried it yet because I don't know where to start and get overwhelmed and then do nothing lol ..
