The Dave posted:Well to start I'd probably move the TV (and I know that's not your's, but incase you were thinking of using that same setup) to above the fireplace and make that the defined sitting area, then I would let that space be what it is, a nice walkway with good room for traffic. What kind of seating do you have? Because Sectional could define that space nicely. We have a gray sectional that we planned to put in the same place as in the photo, but your recommendation will be something that we will try. there wolf posted:I say ditch the accent all together because you already have two different floorings going and you don't need to divide the space up more. I think that might be what we end up doing, but we still need to pick a color in which to repaint all the walls to keep them the same (on further inspection, the living room / dining room area has 3 different colors). value-brand cereal posted:If you and your spouse aren't oppose to lots of lots of hanging and paintings, May I suggest covering that wall with art? A la Ilya Glazunov’s Studio in Moscow! I showed this to the wife and she recoiled in disgust. Thanks!

Then your wife definitely should(n't) see the inside of an authentic Russian cathedral.

How NOT to stage a mid-century modern house. Or any house, really.  Did decorative fake doors become a thing without me noticing?   "We didn't know what to do with this room so let's put a random faux-antique table and chairs in the corner and hang some Walmart paintings"  Sad MCM chair cowers in fear on the porch   This was a flip - bought in March 2016 for $81k, painted and put in granite countertops and sold for $136k in February 2017 so I guess the ~shabby chic~ worked out.

Is that really MCM? At least, apart from that one chair outside everything appears to be faux Edwardian/Victorian/Georgian. This is a serious question because I'm trying to understand properly.

"Shabby chic" Southern decor really doesn't work well with that house. Also there is not one comfortable-looking piece of furniture in that great room.

It's such a nice little example of a 60s "mass-market" modern too. Taking a Southern ranch and stripping it down to the basics.  At least they didn't mess with the house itself too much.If it were in Portland or Denver it would've been expanded and turned into an unrecognizable mess.

Why would anyone do that? I don't really rate the place to start with but the addition is literally money spent on nothing?

It's time to buy pendant lights for our kitchen island and I'm having trouble deciding between 8" or 10" clear glass globes. The island is 3'x5'. I feel like some guides online recommend 8" and some say it should be 10". In these scale drawings the 10" pendants feel better to me, but when I see one in person it just seems SO big. Do pendants that may seem too big up close end up feeling more appropriately sized once they're hung?

Yes they'll feel smaller thanks to perspective. Like how traffic lights are HUGE when not hanging. If it feels right in the scale drawing it will probably feel right when hung.

Make mockups out of paper and tape, and stick them up for a couple days.

I feel like some guides online recommend 8" and some say it should be 10". I have a similar setup. My island is 3' x 4.5' and I have 8" globes. They hang 34" above the island, from 40" cables. My ceilings are 11' and the island is 36" high. I think 8" is the perfect size. 10" would feel big in my opinion, even if they were hung higher than the 40" I have them at right now.  I'm trying to figure out the scale of your drawings, though. I assume the top drawing is 8" but the globes are three squares in diameter? Then the 10" globes are 4 squares?

Anne Whateley posted:Make mockups out of paper and tape, and stick them up for a couple days. Seriously do this. We also bought a super cheap $4 pendant from home Depot, hung it with a drywall screw, and powered it with an extension cord. Then made various sizes shades out of paper. This let us play with heights and positions as well as overall size.

Basically one tiny square is 2.4". So the larger squares within the grid make up 1 foot. The globes aren't perfectly to scale because the 8" globes would be 3.33 squares and the 10" would be 4.17 squares, but I figured it was close enough to get an idea. My ceilings are 8 feet high, so the lights aren't going to be able to hang down very far. Maybe that's another reason to do 8" lights?
