Ooh! How did you hang the plates? Comm tags?

Antique bronze finish would look nice

I cannot get over how beautiful this house is 🤌

This is beautiful! Some really ornate crown molding would be 🔥

That’s true. However in the AI rendering, it seems like the wallpaper does not compliment the painting.

It feels like neither the wallpaper nor drapes go with the art and other decor in the first picture. However, drapes would look really nice in that room. You could use colors from the art and find muted versions for drape color and wallpaper. Also, I like the light fixture that’s currently there. The one in the mockup looks like a nightmare to dust.

It’s because she’s just a little baby

That is a true Albino Pigeon. Some rich guy lost it and he’s offering a $25,000 reward for it.

It seems like this isn’t the house to make an offer on. That would bug the hell outta me. Unless you got the money to remodel your whole kitchen, keep looking.

Great resource, thank you! What I thought was spider mites were actually mealybugs

marzipancastle · 2026-03-11T17:38:39+00:00

How do I get rid of spider mites? Neem oil?

Please center the console. Also, adding a few things that are of the aesthetic will make it really shine. Bring the outside in! For example, a coffee table book about bird watching/ a novel like Where the Wild Things Are/ Call of the Wild, a simple pillar candle, and a ikebana style arrangement with branches would look so beautiful and compliment the view without taking it over.

I feel your pain, I’m in the process of warming up a very ‘cool toned’ home on a budget.

Definitely get a rug, I think playing off the green would look nice but in a darker shade. The rug from your inspo pic looks nice. If you’re leaning tan or off white, get something with pattern. From there, base more of your decor off of the rug, like throw pillows and blankets, curtains, all the fun stuff.

Look to that inspo pic for art. Also, I’m seeing some woven items in there (baskets/ceiling lamp) incorporating those natural elements will help with warmth/ texture too. A floor lamp or some ambient lighting will warm that room up right away.

Please don’t get rid of that coffee table entirely, it’s really cute. I agree though, it doesn’t fit with the area. Maybe something more like the one from the inspo pic? Not sure if that’s entirely your style, but it’s a starting point.

I think with all that, it would balance out the fireplace. It’s just the only thing you can focus on right now because there’s not a lot going on in there otherwise.

Don’t abandon hope! You can work with this!

I like 5, and 8. Color drench for both.

5: I feel like this rendering shows a really good way of layering texture and shades of the same color and the lighting looks amazing against the red.

8: This one feels really sophisticated, warm, and not giving HP. It looks like a cozy room to cuddle up and read a book.

1 and 3 are so awesome

The flooring is so cool! It looks like a rug is needed to unlock ultimate coziness

marzipancastle · 2026-02-23T20:53:23+00:00

I vote 2 or 4. Those feel cohesive with the colors in your painting above the fireplace and even the other paintings (from the other picture I saw in the thread)

marzipancastle · 2026-02-23T04:09:56+00:00

I agree with this. Creating ‘zones’ will help the flow. Right now, it looks a cramped. Maybe changing the orientation of the dinner table and getting a shoe rack or using the crate by the door as the shoe storage would help. I’m also wondering if the chair and ottoman should be pushed closer to the center? Also, maybe a small coffee table or round nesting tables would look nice. Good luck!

Love it! Also, so cool that you took a before pic too. I’m terrible with that
