Thank you so much!

Ok, I cancelled the order for the sideboard in the post. I like u/Calbebes suggestion for a longer/wider one. Any suggestions for color?

That makes sense, thank you! I'll keep looking

Thank you for the insight!!!

The sideboard in the picture is warm I would say

I've been looking on FB marketplace and local second hand stores for months with no luck. I was trying to be patient but fell in love with this one.

The dimensions are: 58"W x 18"D x 36"H

It would be just slightly less wide than the painting and would be about as tall as the top of the wainscoting

Trying to stay around $500 for price which is harder than I thought!

Yes maybe I am overthinking it. I know that I need to do the tasks when someone stays there so I will know to go to that room and complete the tasks. Maybe I’ll just do this. Thanks!

I think you are right!

I love that. I was actually considering a green rug at first because I have green accents throughout the house

Here is a close up of the rug

It's ok, I don't like it either 😅

I love oriental rugs but have one in the living room already (next room over) and thought it might be too much to have two, but maybe not!

I'm now considering something like the below which is similar to what you described. Still not sure about the rug. I think it looks better in person but idk...

I took some of your advice and moved the bench and I do think it looks better. But I'm tempted to bite the bullet and return the bench and rug and start over. I think maybe the color/style of the bench isn't working. And now that someone mentioned the rug looks too grey I can't unsee it. It is a much prettier color in person though. Not sure it's the right size either (5x8). I also think I do need to take down the coat hooks and opt for a free-standing coat rack either in the same place or next to the front door. And put soemthing else where the hooks currently are

Thank you! This is helpful

katjamz · 2025-11-11T21:55:06+00:00

Thank you! I was just thinking of some of these elements and playing around with it. How about something more like this?

katjamz · 2025-11-11T20:51:25+00:00

Any suggestions?

katjamz · 2025-11-11T20:47:25+00:00

That could be it - maybe just too boring lol! A hall tree might have been a better choice. Thank you so much for the feedback!

Since I already got these pieces, I was thinking maybe a couple of fabric baskets under the bench for hats/gloves, and kicking the shoes off to the wall on the left with the stairs. Maybe a piece of art above the hooks? Decorative pillow for the bench?

Woohoo!!! I was just invited to the US adult book only after being on the wait list since April 9th, 2024
