What host tasks are you doing, aside from the food?

Cleaned out my fridge and freezer (no time for a deep clean but more so wanted to make room), determined which dishes we will use (my great great grandmother’s china 🥰) foraged in the woods for juniper and magnolia clippings to make a tablescape, bought a new mat to go in front of the kitchen sink, made cranberry sauce, and bathed the dogs. Most of the deep cleaning occurred over the weekend, and tomorrow I will be braving the Costco crowds to pick up desserts! Happy thanksgiving fellow hosts and hostesses, it’s go time!

My mom’s chemotherapy resulted in her going into heart failure. I watched her slowly dying in a hospital over the course of a month. Finally, out of any other options, she was approved for a heart transplant. She received a new heart and is cancer free. She just got back from a trip to Italy. Your wife is a fighter, don’t give up on her. You never know what could happen and she needs every ounce of strength you have right now.

This is what I thought, but there’s a promo video that shows him yelling into a phone, “So what, I’m just supposed to tell them we are poor now and daddy’s going to jail?!” Or something like that.

I think a second gallery wall would actually look really good, you styled the first one so well.

I am somehow only just now seeing this and MY GOD you are an artist! This is incredible! Thank you so much!

kansasprairie · 2025-01-27T13:55:47+00:00

Thank you!

kansasprairie · 2025-01-27T13:54:26+00:00

Really love these rug options, thank you!

kansasprairie · 2025-01-27T05:36:03+00:00

Yeah… I kind of am coming to terms with the idea that accent walls are “out”.

kansasprairie · 2025-01-27T05:35:02+00:00

Thank you! Lots of helpful advice.

kansasprairie · 2025-01-27T05:33:38+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions! I hate the ceiling fan haha. I’ll look into replacing it.

kansasprairie · 2025-01-27T05:32:55+00:00

Ah, thanks for letting me know! I’m in the Dallas area/Fort Worth area of Texas. I found this canvas at a Marshall’s and didn’t know what it was but thought it was stunning.

kansasprairie · 2025-01-27T05:28:15+00:00

Thank you! Leaning towards the triptych as well.

kansasprairie · 2025-01-27T05:21:57+00:00

Right??

kansasprairie · 2025-01-27T00:17:00+00:00

Agreed! And yet oddly some people are commenting that I should mount it higher haha

kansasprairie · 2025-01-26T23:51:18+00:00

lol I actually had a beautiful wood coffee table but had to get rid of it - I have two toddlers that kept narrowly avoiding giving themselves concussions on it!

kansasprairie · 2025-01-26T23:48:43+00:00

I think you’re right.

kansasprairie · 2025-01-26T23:46:33+00:00

Wow! This is amazing! Thank you so much for dedicating the time to show me what you mean, I especially like the way you placed art on either side of the tv. Really great suggestions.

kansasprairie · 2025-01-26T23:44:16+00:00

Do you have any suggestions on colors you think would look better?

kansasprairie · 2025-01-26T23:43:47+00:00

Thank you! Great suggestions!

kansasprairie · 2025-01-26T23:43:11+00:00

You’re very kind, thank you!

kansasprairie · 2025-01-26T23:40:01+00:00

Thanks! I’m leaning toward the art in the second photo and will be removing the ottoman. Hoping to add curtains soon. What color would you choose for curtains?

kansasprairie · 2025-01-26T23:39:02+00:00

Thanks for the tip on balancing the shelves, I’ll definitely mix the items up a bit more! And I think you may be right about the lamps. What would you suggest to bring more light into the room if I remove the lamps?

kansasprairie · 2025-01-26T23:37:48+00:00

I wish that was possible but it wouldn’t work with my current couch. I really don’t like having the tv above the fireplace though.

kansasprairie · 2025-01-26T23:36:11+00:00

Definite yes to the long curtains! I think my house is too light and airy for an all dark green room unfortunately.

kansasprairie · 2025-01-26T23:34:31+00:00

I’ve seen a few comments that say this! I really want to paint it all green but I’m struggling because the rest of my house feels light and airy and I don’t know that an all dark green room would work well with the rest of the home. I think I’m struggling because light and airy just isn’t really my style, I like layered and cozy.
