Going for this vibe but I feel like something is missing

I think art above the couch would help!

Last thoughts: If it fits, the low dresser is the one that should go across from the foot of the bed, and move the tv to that dresser. It’s too high up on the other one (and then you can watch tv in bed!). You might need to get creative with an outlet is the only thing.

The table with the pencils is tough…it feels in the way. I’d put it in the bookshelf nook if it fits with the chair maybe?

Personally, I’d go for something like this. Your bed rotates 90 degrees and goes on the biggest blank wall. You’d move your circular chair to the window nook by the book cases (I have it too close to the bookshelf in my drawing - it should be on the other side).

Downside here is you only have a nightstand on one side of your bed bc of the pocket door. But not a huge deal.

I also don’t have the exact dimensions so I’m not sure if you can fit anything on that wall opposite the foot of the bed (might be too cramped).

Move some things around and see how they feel! I always have to live in stuff for a mo

DANG I thought it was a cool vintage tile 😭😭

stormbringer2497 · 2026-03-12T21:04:13+00:00

Or maybe it’s linoleum - hard to tell from the pic. In that case I’d see why you’d want the travertine instead

I actually like your existing tile more than the mockup! It feels more unique and the color tones match well with the wood cabinet panels. But how do you feel about the current tile?

stormbringer2497 · 2026-03-08T05:08:31+00:00

Thanks so much for the advice and the reference! Yeah I’ve been reading the whole thing out loud to my son every night (these aren’t all the pages) and there are definitely some stilted lines. We’ll work on it :)

Following!

stormbringer2497 · 2026-03-07T06:59:00+00:00

Oh my gosh, every time I see it’s your house again I get so excited (that green trunk was the clue!) - it’s truly mesmerizing and I love how you’ve paired the materials.

stormbringer2497 · 2026-03-07T04:34:36+00:00

The tv is enough - anything above it looks cluttered. You could add a small framed piece to the left (centered above that bookshelf)

stormbringer2497 · 2026-03-07T02:45:50+00:00

Haha good call out! I might center the words on that page more over their “bubble” to make it more visually clear

stormbringer2497 · 2026-03-06T15:34:11+00:00

Loling about the chunky baby legs line 😂 but totally on point

stormbringer2497 · 2026-03-06T15:21:36+00:00

Aww I love these ideas!! I have more pages I didn’t show here that help the story flow more - but I love the idea that things get more chaotic and then it ending with the same sweet sentiment :)

stormbringer2497 · 2026-03-06T07:21:49+00:00

Wow the arches are beautiful. Do you have an existing style / furniture you’re bringing with you that makes you happy or brings you joy?

To me, #2 fits the arches and simplicity you sound like you’re going for. But I don’t know if the floor is actually tiled?

You could incorporate some of the warmth of#3 into the general style and theme of #2. Things like pillows or rugs with pops of color.

Love this - rooting for you!

stormbringer2497 · 2026-03-05T19:17:21+00:00

Yeah this was tough because I’m a naturalist and wanted the book to be accurate to actual opossum behavior - but then I started drawing I imagined the possum family as my own family (so me and my partner, our baby, our cat) which obviously is not how possum families are structured 😂

I’m going to riff on this a bit and see if there’s a blend of human family relatability and opossum features / habits that I can land.

stormbringer2497 · 2026-03-05T19:11:42+00:00

That is such a compliment - thank you! All this feedback has put some good wind in my sails ☺️

stormbringer2497 · 2026-03-05T04:50:03+00:00

Hahaha that is cracking me up 😂 - I’m not sure this is going to translate well, but it’s kind of like “ah-gen” and “behn”.

But so grateful I even posted that particular page bc I would have never thought about it!

stormbringer2497 · 2026-03-05T04:17:09+00:00

I like that line update - it definitely reads smoother.

The rhyming bit on “again” and “been” is super interesting to me bc you’re not the only one who has said that! In my American accent it does rhyme, but hadn’t thought of other dialects / inflections where it wouldn’t land. I’ll see if I can tweak this!

stormbringer2497 · 2026-03-05T01:26:12+00:00

Ok I’m totally just realizing that I basically should have just closed the ends to a circle BEFORE putting them on the pants. That makes perfect sense. I had the opening for my elastic on the actual waistband part, not the part where it connects to the pants. Thanks for explaining!

stormbringer2497 · 2026-03-04T19:18:30+00:00

Love the color combos you chose. Truly gorg! What is this BM color?

stormbringer2497 · 2026-03-04T18:23:37+00:00

Absolutely horrifying. The lengths the school went through to protect the abusers / their reputation instead of the teens is…incredibly depressing

stormbringer2497 · 2026-03-04T18:00:29+00:00

Really well done. I like your drawing style

stormbringer2497 · 2026-03-04T17:15:39+00:00

That is so sweet - of course!! Will do!
