Here's the to-date progress of the front room/piano room
before move-in
the first furnishings...
A new piano...
removed bookcase and added reclining chair and console for piano music.
same time, just angled to get couch in...
painting! A little on the minty side...but not worth painting over...yet.
After 20+ curtains bought and returned, a decision was made and curtains hung!
New family picture above piano.
New clock Dan picked out for my birthday.
Sconces I love from Hobby Lobby, picture raised, potential topiaries and piano lamp.
(what do you think about the topiaries? the idea would be to have three the same height (the shorter ones), but I think they get lost behind the lamp. Other suggestions?)
probably going to paint the wall on the right a deeper brown like the opposite wall. Looking for a prettier lamp and art work to go on green wall by curtains.
In this corner there will be a tree with a light shining up from the bottom. Also, a round end table for the opposite side of the couch, with a possible lamp?
And here it is all together.
You can barely tell we painted this wall, and this is AFTER we painted it the second time. We didn't want to go too dark, as to have two accent walls.
Any suggestions? things you don't like? Honestly, when looking at these pictures, I don't really like it! I like it better in person. I don't know if I can't take pictures correctly, or if I'm so used to it that looking through pictures make it seem like a totally different room.
Things I don't like from the pictures:
1) The curtain height? Too high from the window?
2) The blinds. Not liking the mesh of oak and dark wood.
3) It looks so bare still! I don't want it to look busy or cluttered, so hopefully with the tree and some throw pillows it will look better.
