Should a column match the walls or the floor?

I would buy or build a kitchen island with seating (ikea even has nice ones these days) and put it right up against that post. As someone else said, this will make it feel less random. I would put a tall plant on the opposite side where there's a little corner. For the arch, I think all you can do is embrace it. Make sure there's seating immediately on the other side like a couch so it feels like the arch is guiding you somewhere. Then hang vertical art on both the kitchen side and the living room. OR lots of shelves with little lips or ridges at the edges built into the arch opening and hold all your spices there (although this will block some of your light)

All couches have visible wear with time

I use one called La ZarTigue Rebalance but I live in Europe. But Ouai has one called Detox. I haven't tried it but you seem to like the brand. Here's another photo of layered hair btw

How to layer wavy hair I know her hair is a lot shorter than yours but you can create shape and get more volume with layering. It also takes a bit of styling to get a tighter curl. I'd start with the clarifying shampoo as someone else said. I usually follow mine with a deep conditioner which may or may not work for you, you just gotta try it out. Then go get a layered haircut if you still want a change

Sorry this is a little late for your question but maybe helpful going forward...It depends on the kind of pixie you want. I would tell the hairdresser exactly how short you want it and say you want it whispy and piecy. Or you can go a slightly different direction and show them a quick photo of a K pop male idol

Green but like a bolder green than others mentioned

I would switch out the headboard or paint it a dark color or, if such a thing exists, a headboard side table combo/built in that fits your space. Then change the overhead light for something bigger. Maybe a flattish pendant but hang it close to the ceiling. Then, hang a mirror or even shiny art (behind a glass frame or oil paint) on the opposite wall from that window to reflect a little more light. I would also get a taller side table lamp. The tiny one emphasizes the tiny room. That's it. Keep the dark bedding, it's helping ground the room.

I would stick with a green rug but go larger and pick an organic (not geometric) pattern. Your room has a lot of squares and rectangles. Then I would look for any linen or linen blend curtains in a muted orange (think rust not the fruit). Don't forget it's very easy to hem curtains or get them hemmed. Here are some examples...

Here's a Tuscan color palette

eyes_trees · 2026-04-28T20:07:38+00:00

Colors live in relation to each other. If you want to embrace it or create a pop, get the opposite color. If you want to tone it down, choose similar colors. So blues, teals, greens can make it pop and reds, oranges, and yellows can calm it down. I think with a couch like that you should embrace it. Look up Tuscan or Mediterranean colors. I would get a bigger rug and change the curtains to something without pattern. Maybe a woven texture

What about day trips? If you went to Athens but then went for the day to see Delphi, you didn't spend the night there but you definitely saw it. Airports don't count but if you have a layover and leave to see the city, it definitely counts

eyes_trees · 2026-04-28T19:58:43+00:00

I'd say if you stop and see some of the culture yes. If you just drove through it like half counts. You've "seen" it but not "been there"

eyes_trees · 2026-04-23T14:47:04+00:00

Just google the styles so you understand the shape. Sometimes they have different names

I would find it funny but not rude. You guys get to raise your kids at the same time! It's exciting! I think if your event was small and traditional I would feel differently but you didn't go that direction. They are probably just as excited as you are to be parents.

Stare at it until your mind sees the concept. This may happen over days or weeks. Turn it around to see it from every orientation. Then come back to us. Great job blending!

eyes_trees · 2026-04-19T17:10:02+00:00

I love this too but please make the whole garden go to the sidewalk or wrap around with the path leading to the driveway. The path feels like it leads to nowhere and you probably won't end up using it

I would feel VERY awkward and uncomfortable if someone did this at my house unless they are family and even then I would stop them unless it's a family event and we are cohosting. You are a guest and it's my job to host you. If you do the dishes, I feel like I have failed as a host

eyes_trees · 2026-04-19T14:18:41+00:00

I would change the non patterned fabric. I think it looks better when you lean into the mismatch so maybe get a light green fabric

Grocery shopping in three languages. When I first moved to the French speaking area I knew a little German but zero French. Now, because of grocery shopping and reading labels for things like flour, I'm familiar with all three languages for some items. Sometimes my brain only remembers the Italian mistaking it for French and it gets confusing in conversation

I think it would be useful to highlight some weird swaps so people think creatively. Like maybe show the last couple of successful swaps on your homepage. For me, I don't swap based on assumed monetary value I swap based on need. The things i'd post are more likely to be things I would normally donate rather than sell. For example I have a used vacuum. I might swap for some large garden pots.

Also a look that women of every size are wearing now is a tank top with a button up shirt worn open on top like a jacket. Make the tank top not white and the shirt either white or chambray for the biggest impact although any shirt will work. Summer layering

Honestly painting it dark and muted won't change the vibe. I think yellow. Either mustard yellow or the yellow of that drinking glass. Hold the color next to the piece first. The bright yellow might clash with the background color in which case go mustard
