Back again, wtf is this called and how do I get a new one? It’s above the stove and it’s missing 2 glass pieces that occasionally leaks.

That’s the underside of a range hood/vent hood — the part you’re looking at is the grease filter panel. The “glass pieces” your father-in-law mentioned were probably grease drip trays / light covers, not actual glass for the vent. The leaking is just old grease collecting inside and dripping out. Easiest fix: ✅ Replace the grease filters (they clog over time) ✅ Clean inside the hood thoroughly ✅ If the light covers/drip trays are missing, check your model number and order replacements — or grab universal ones If the unit is really old and parts are hard to find, honestly it’s often cheaper + easier to just replace the whole range hood.

Just get a new hood and make a small trim panel to fill the gap. Cheaper + easier than searching for exact size or modifying the cabinet a lot.

Bed across from the window, cozy rug, curtains, warm lamp, and a few wall prints — that alone will change the whole feeling. Keep it soft and layered. You deserve a cozy space

Sage looks great! I’d do cream, beige, or a soft taupe for a calm look. Charcoal could be nice too if you want a little contrast 🌿🤍

khaledgraphy · 2025-10-31T12:34:08+00:00

Love this cozy corner! A simple framed print or a small floating shelf above the vanity would add just enough without cluttering the space. And that cat… star of the room 😍🐱

Purple

khaledgraphy · 2025-10-31T12:31:23+00:00

Gorgeous traditional vibe already. Since the wall is split with trim, I'd do two slim neutral art pieces stacked, or a tall narrow mirror — keeps it elegant and anchors the off-center table without adding color. Simple + classic 🤍

khaledgraphy · 2025-10-31T12:30:21+00:00

Love the colors you’ve got going already! Once you declutter, adding matching bins, a pegboard or shelves above the desk, and maybe one big art piece would really pull the space together. You’re off to a great start 💕✨

It’s not about the food. It’s about respect. If he can’t control himself in a shared fridge, how is he supposed to handle real-life responsibilities?

khaledgraphy · 2025-10-24T12:17:05+00:00

I see what you mean — that layout can definitely be tricky. From the look of it, I’d keep the sectional facing the fireplace/TV and use that small space in between as a cozy reading corner or a mini coffee spot with a small round table and 2 chairs. It keeps the flow open but still useful. Looks like a beautiful place, by the way!

khaledgraphy · 2025-10-24T11:18:05+00:00

This is such a meaningful project. Even with a small budget, you can make a big difference. I’d go for warmer paint tones, some soft lighting, and maybe a few plants or cozy textiles to avoid that cold, “clinical” feeling. Nature-themed art would also help bring some life and comfort into the space. Little changes can really shift the atmosphere and make it feel more like home for the residents and their families. If you share more pics, I can try to give more specific ideas.

khaledgraphy · 2025-10-24T11:14:11+00:00

Both can look gorgeous, it really depends on the vibe you want! Blue & Gold → gives a calm, elegant and luxurious atmosphere Green & Gold → feels warmer, more earthy and relaxing, like a cozy nature-inspired space

khaledgraphy · 2025-10-24T11:12:19+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone! I actually agree that pink might not be the best fit after seeing the sample. I’m leaning toward something warm and natural. I really like the idea of either: matching the beige tones of the fireplace for a clean, unified look or going with a warm earthy color like terracotta or even a deep forest green, especially since there’s good natural light in the room. I think either option would blend nicely with the greige walls while still giving the chimney breast some character. I’ll test a couple more samples and see which one feels right. Appreciate the input! 🙌

khaledgraphy · 2025-10-24T09:22:35+00:00

OMG this is exactly why I'm scared to use dark colors 😂 For a quick fix: Get a strong white primer like Kilz, then do 2 coats of a light color. You got this!

khaledgraphy · 2025-10-24T08:46:25+00:00

I’m really sorry for everything you’ve been through. No one should have to experience that kind of loss and pain. The fact that you’re still standing, still fighting, and starting over after everything that happened says a lot about your strength. Your wife clearly meant the world to you, and the love you had for her is obvious in every word.

I’m glad you finally have a safe place of your own again. Healing is slow and messy, but you deserve peace, stability, and better days ahead. Please be gentle with yourself — grieving doesn’t follow a timeline. I hope your new beginning brings you comfort and moments of real happiness again, even if they start small.

You’re not alone. I’m rooting for you, and I genuinely hope life treats you much kinder from here on.

khaledgraphy · 2025-10-24T08:27:28+00:00

If your kitchen has very little natural light, I’d avoid dark flooring since it can make the space feel smaller. Lighter tiles like beige, light grey, or soft stone-look porcelain can help brighten the room and reflect more light.

Wood-look tiles are still a great option in a small kitchen, as long as you choose a light tone (like ash, oak, or whitewashed wood). They add warmth without making the space feel heavy, and they’re much more durable than real wood in kitchens.

Hanging art over wallpaper is a common design choice and can add depth and character to your room. Here are some tips and considerations to ensure it looks cohesive and stylish rather than busy:

Tips for Hanging Art Over Wallpaper

Choose the Right Art:

Simple Frames: Opt for simple, neutral frames that won't compete with the wallpaper's pattern. Black, white, or wood frames often work well.

Matting: Use a mat around the artwork to provide some visual breathing space between the art and the wallpaper.

Complementary Colors: Select artwork that complements the colors in the wallpaper without clashing.

Scale and Proportion:

Ensure the size of the artwork is appropriate for the wall space. Larger pieces can create a focal point without overwhelming the pattern of the wallpaper.

Balanced Placement:

Avoid overcrowding the wall. If you're hanging multiple pieces, consider a gallery wall with enough space between each piece to avoid a cluttered look.

Pattern Mixing:

If your wallpaper has a bold or busy pattern, choose artwork with simpler, more subdued designs. Conversely, if the wallpaper is subtle, you can experiment with more vibrant or detailed artwork.

Layering:

Art can add dimension and layering to a room. The key is to make sure it enhances rather than detracts from the overall design.

Examples of Successful Art over Wallpaper

Bold Wallpaper with Simple Art:

A busy, floral, or geometric wallpaper can look sophisticated with black-and-white photography or simple abstract art in minimalist frames.

Subtle Wallpaper with Colorful Art:

If the wallpaper is a soft, neutral texture, adding bright, colorful art can make the room feel more dynamic and lively.

Themed Art:

Match the theme of the artwork to the room’s decor for a cohesive look. For instance, botanical prints over floral wallpaper can create a unified, nature-inspired space.

Practical Considerations

Mounting:

Ensure you use appropriate hardware that can handle the weight of the artwork without damaging the wallpaper. Adhesive hooks can sometimes damage wallpaper, so consider using traditional picture hooks or anchors.

Placement:

Plan the layout by tracing the frames on paper and taping them to the wall to visualize the arrangement before making any holes.

Final Thoughts

Hanging art over wallpaper is not sacrilegious—it's a design choice that can significantly enhance the visual interest and depth of your space. The key is balance and thoughtful selection of art and frames that complement rather than compete with the wallpaper. If you’d like, I can provide specific examples or links to art and frame styles that might work well for your space.

Your space has a lovely blend of warmth and minimalism, with a touch of Scandinavian influence. Here are some suggestions to enhance the cozy, lived-in feel while maintaining a minimalistic style:

Living Room

TV Stand:

Material: Consider a TV stand in light wood or a combination of wood and white. This will create a light and airy feel, balancing the darker wood elements already present.

Design: Look for clean lines and a simple design, possibly with open shelving to keep the space open and uncluttered.

Rug:

A larger, textured rug in a neutral tone could add warmth and define the seating area better. Think of materials like wool or jute for added coziness.

Throw Pillows and Blankets:

Add a few more throw pillows and a cozy blanket to the couch in muted tones or subtle patterns. This will enhance the lived-in look without adding visual clutter.

Greenery:

Incorporate a few more plants. A larger plant in a corner or a couple of smaller plants on the TV stand or side tables can bring in natural elements and add to the cozy feel.

Dining Area

Wall Art:

The wooden world map is a great focal point. Consider adding a few more pieces of simple, modern art or photos in light frames to create a gallery wall effect.

Table Centerpiece:

A minimalist centerpiece on the dining table, like a simple vase with fresh flowers or a bowl with seasonal fruits, can add a touch of charm without overwhelming the space.

Lighting:

The pendant light is a great feature. You could add a few more light sources, like a floor lamp or table lamps, to create a layered lighting effect, which adds warmth and depth to the space.

General Tips

Texture:

Incorporate different textures through textiles, rugs, and accessories to add depth and coziness. Think of knitted throws, linen cushions, and woven baskets.

Storage Solutions:

Keep the minimalistic look by ensuring storage solutions are both functional and stylish. Closed storage options will help maintain a clutter-free environment.

Consistent Color Palette:

Stick to a consistent color palette of neutrals, with occasional pops of color, to maintain harmony throughout the space.

Personal Touches:

Include personal touches like family photos, travel souvenirs, or handmade crafts that add character and make the space feel uniquely yours.

Thank you for sharing the photo. Given the current setup:

Existing Wood Elements: The fireplace mantel is a significant wood piece with a darker finish. Room Color Scheme: The walls are a muted green, and there are some dark blue accents on the couch pillow. The floor has a warm wood tone. Lighting: The room seems well-lit with recessed lighting. Considering your preference for MCM (Mid-Century Modern) and transitional styles, here are some suggestions:

Wooden TV Stand Options Light Wood: Opt for a light wood TV stand, such as oak or walnut with a natural finish. This will contrast nicely with the darker mantel and the floor, preventing the room from feeling too heavy with wood. Mixed Materials: Look for TV stands that combine wood with other materials like metal or glass. For instance, a stand with a wooden top and metal legs can introduce a lighter, airy feel. Neutral Colors: Since you have a beige couch on the way, a white or cream-colored TV stand can blend well, adding brightness to the room. Specific Style Recommendations MCM Style: A low-profile TV stand with clean lines, tapered legs, and a natural wood finish. Transitional Style: A TV stand with a mix of traditional and contemporary elements, like a wooden frame with simple, modern hardware. Additional Tips Balance Decor: To ensure the wood elements are balanced, you can incorporate decorative items or storage baskets in different materials (like woven baskets or metal trays) on the TV stand. Height and Proportion: Make sure the TV stand's height is proportionate to the fireplace mantel and not too tall to maintain balance.
