I actually had the privilege of seeing this beautiful home in person. It has a very clean updated feel even though it has architectural charm. It truly is a stunning home and although I do love old world charm that’s not this home. Walking in from the street and seeing the cool lighting, the swanky pool, etc. sets the tone for the inside. I’m sure Ed and Anna will figure this out mixing some antiques with newer things. It will take a lot with such a big space but just stay tuned in. This will be fun to watch Ed and Anna search for additional items!
I think tall plants would look much better with pictures or mirror, lamp or clock. The rutan chairs don’t go with your entry.
I vote for using different chairs in entryway that have some color and go with the style of furniture already there.
I’m sorry Anna and Edd but I really, really don’t like those cane chairs. They are not simpatico with the age or style of your beautiful passion project. The dark upholstered chairs you moved temporarily on to the stairs would look much better there. Each to their own though. 😊
I’m sorry I don’t like them either 🥲
A carpet and lamp would look stunning and cozy ❤❤
Beautiful big plant pots with big palm lookalike plants would be great. Chairs would look better on the patio area
I would put the red ones in the entrance
Sorry but I agree too, they are too big for the space
The cane chairs seem more appropriate for a sun room or patio. Also I think the bottom rooms need a really large room size rugs.
Just my personal opinion of course, but I think the red chairs would look more elegant instead of the wicker in the entry.
Yes - and they would add some much needed colour.
Hey guys. I hope you don’t think I am being rude, but the cane chairs belong in a conservatory,sun room or bed room at a push. They are definitely the right sort of size, have you thought of putting the red ones there as a temporary measure. I have lots of idea’s for very very inexpensive decor hacks but I don’t want to take over your vlog, more than happy to send you some ideas privately if you wanted. Lots of bright pictures are needed to warm the walls up. Oh I wish I could help you guys. Can’t wait to see what you have actually bought. Exciting. Love to you both K🇬🇧❤❤
Yes, cane chairs feel too informal. The entrance hall needs something that looks a bit more formal.
We have to keep in mind, the house will be a rental. We know what some people do to rentals. It must be liveble, and pretty. I would not dolly up a house for rental, with expensive furniture. The house is beautiful, and some of the furniture are amazing.
@@loulaevert-smith1728They picked up some chairs fairly cheaply from auctions, like the pair they used in the bedroom. Also the entrance hall is not meant for people to relax in (and cane chairs do suggest relaxation), especially not for a grand old building like this. You let people feel relaxed in other rooms intended for relaxation.
Wood doesn’t have to always match. I think some lovely rugs would make every room feel more cozy. Without softness of the ground, it all feels cold.
You can get some pretty rugs for your spaces for very good prices. Don't spend a lot on them because there will definitely be spills.
What I would love to see are rugs on the floors and more pictures hanging on the walls, I feel it makes the space cosier.
I agree. Rugs add an element of warmth and ties the whole room together.
No rug. You don’t want to cover those beautiful floors.
I agree. I once stayed in a B§B that had no carpets anywhere. I went out a bought some because I couldn’t stand the hollow sound on all the bare floors. The floors are beautiful and will still show.
No. Rugs. For short term renters. It's easier to clean without rugs@@
I agree a rug for every room will make it a lot warmer
I think you need carpets. It will give a warmer ”feel” to the rooms. You have done a fantastic job renovating this house.
Agree. Some carpets can give great and confortable atmosphere. They embellish the decor to.
I think rugs would be good
Not sure carpets are a good idea if your renting lots of hoovering. Rugs are easier to keep clean! Also the Summers are very warm where this house is situated.
I may have done a language mistake. Carpet is to me a free thing lika a persian carpet. Maybe I should have used the word rug instead. Still I think you know now what I mean.
@@user-ov2ji9yd6y same thing for me. I am French. I mean the same thing like a persian carpet (5x7) for example. Thank you to bring that distinction here.
Because I'm not a fan of wicker, I can't comment completely objectively. But I liked them better in the summer room.
I'm so sorry, Anna & Edd. I have always loved your decorating style. And, in this instance, I do not feel that the wicker peacock chairs belong in the Grand Entrance Hall. They especially do not go with the other pieces of furniture. I hope you are able to find something else to replace them. Good luck! Keep doing great work. Really appreciate all you share with us.
Being a host of over 2,000 guests , I suggest NEVER have china and crystal glassware in a vacation home rental !!!! Use simple plain white common dishes that is easy to replace and the same for all your glasses . ( Boxed sets of both ) as there will be plenty of breakage . Trust me !
Totally agree
Yes very sensible idea. Each season you will be replacing china. Easily breaks on tiled flooring or even wood floors. People really have no respect and as the rent will be quite high renters won't care. Maybe you will need to buy plastic wine and water glasses for around the pool.
I agree. Perhaps if she chooses an inexpensive, readily available pattern, she can replace pieces as necessary.
The wicker chairs you put in the entry are more suited to a plant conservatory room or a "pool room" ( a casual room near the swimming pool to relax or gather in after swimming). It would look better to have chairs in the entry that go with the antiques & architecture of your home. I'm an interior designer & love an eclectic mix -but to add modern pieces with antiques the modern pieces need to be more sophisticated ( not cane or wicker). Loved the remodel of your home, just beautiful❗️❣❗️
This Villa is such an amazing beauty. I am worry to see you rented it. In general, people do not take care of house when they rent. I hope you are going to ask your future clients for a good safety deposit before the fees of renting. This way if they broke or take something from your Villa, it's going to be coverd. We love you Anna and Edd. You have such a good taste to buy beautiful things and rebuilt amazing houses.🌟
My thoughts precisely! We had a bad experience with renting our property. The rule now is to buy reasonably priced and practical pieces and to not go extravagant. Holiday people come to have fun, which includes a lot of good old French wine. They do not care about antiques. Majority of them do not even understand them. And it is better not to burden people with living plants. They will be neglected for sure. The simpler everything is the better. That includes the dishes. People do not like the feeling of being obliged to look after someone's property or to follow a set of rules. They want to be comfortable enough, have all the luxury of a beautiful separate house with the swimming pool and just chill out without a worry in a world like "OMG! Have my kinds just smudged the chocolate all over those beautiful cream chairs in a bedroom?". Better not to furnish the house by our own sense of beauty but by understanding of practicality and comfort. I am worried for Anna and Edd too.
Is there such a thing as rental insurance in France? might be worth investigating?@@ludmilabevan3283
It is all coming together! Concerning the entry way, have you tried centering the 2 commodes/chest of drawers on the walls? You would not need the chairs and they could go back where you had them originally. If you added tall lamps on the commodes it would give you the height you seem to need for the scale of the room. Leave the walls on either side of the entrance door empty or identical stools would look nice. On entering the home, the focus should be the round table and the beautiful stairway beyond. The chairs seem to be competing.
I love the chairs with the dining room table. Perfect for rental property as they will be easy to clean. In the bedroom with the empty niche, what about adding a couple of shelves? Have you tried “floating” the chairs, desks and tables in the bedrooms? If you pull them away from the walls it would prevent scuff marks and damage to the furniture.
agree - those chairs are too casual - they need to be in the room near the pool
No chairs near the walls or you’ll have to paint again.
A bench sofa on one wall green plants in corners chest with mirror opposite wall.
In the living room you need two long sofas facing each other with a coffee table between, perpendicular to the fire place, and you can add a few different seating areas in the corners with small round tables.
Anna you are precious, I hope you are 100% well very soon.
The original chairs matched the style of the mansion much better than the wicker chairs. The wicker would look ok by the pool but not in a formal entryway. A home like this needs a grand entry.
Me too. Wicker tacky. IMO
Must agree with others on your cane chairs although nice, that is a grand entrance and the chairs are more appropriate in a garden room. Not what you would expect as you walk in. But hay your house. 😉
A vase and flowers will look good in the middle of the circle table coming in from the front door.☺️❤️
Anna I hope you feel better soon. Glad to see you on camera your warm nurturing presence draws you in and I no doubt any one who is your friend is very blessed . You make any place feel warm and welcoming.
I think some rugs would go well in some of the rooms.
Those chairs are tropical summer holiday style chairs. They belong outside, by the pool, or in a sunroom with tropical plants. They can be in a tropical green house themed bedroom. Not in an entry way of an elegant chateau. I think those dark cushioned chairs would be good in the entrance.
I just love your channel I’ve been watching the two of you since your 1st vlog. The one that hooked me was when Ed was fixing the kitchen sink and Anna turned on the water, still makes me laugh. Ed was such a gentleman once over the initial shock. Anyway I do feel your channel is going to explode with the new project and I wish you and your family the very best.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful lives in France.
Ed and Anna, I forgot how beautiful the mansion was, good luck shopping guys.
Just be really careful if putting really good stuff when renting out. People notoriously do not look after the stuff properly or it disappears. Only put in a rental property what you dont mind losing or getting damaged. It will be a hard lesson otherwise.
Anna and Edd, I look forward to the antique fair. You hopefully will find all that you are looking for. I know it will be beautiful. It already is. Anna, I hope you are feeling better soon. It is actually nice to see you both decorate for a change. You both work so hard.❤
Not sure about the peacock chairs. The whole property has ,at the moment a cold ,unloved look. Definatly needs greenery and colour and something to absorb sound. I know you can do it 🤗
Once we get some paintings, rugs and flowers in it will be right.
I think the chairs belong in a conservatory not a grand hallway I much prefer the first ones just my opinion it’s your choice in the end
Love the Villa! You need some mirrors on both sides of the entryway, along with some plants on the tables to make it homey and inviting. I don’t love those cane chairs, they don’t go with the large dressers. The original chairs were better. Some rugs and photos in the other rooms would make the home look more comfortable. This is a high end property, so renters are going to expect nice furnishings.
I spent may years doing room displays and designing rooms for clients. I don't understand mixing French country, French provincial contemporary and Asian in a French mansion. Many of your pieces
are exceptional. I don't care for the peacock chair in the foyer but they are larger, and fill more space than the chairs tha t previously filled that space. Have fun shopping for this beautiful home. I would love to furnish and decorate this house.
Yes paintings or art would look good on the walls to brighten up the area.❤️
I love this chateau! You’ve turned into a magnificent home. I personally would have a hard time deciding to rent it instead of living in it. My husband and I have had rental property and trust me, tenants don’t take as good of care of your property as you hoped they would. I can’t wait to see the way you end up furnishing it, I might even shed a tear that it’s for someone to enjoy instead you and your children. It’s such an eloquent chateau.
Color. That is what this house needs.
Mirrors in the entry, to open and brighten the space . Most of your furniture is interchangeable ! 💗😊👍
Oh no I dont think the chairs in the entrance is nice at all, I would leave them in the other room that has the same wicker or bamboo furniture, I would however have two lovely weeping fig trees in place of the chairs. I do think plants liven up any space. And Ed if you do put a Statue in the alcove do have it bolted in . Love all the work you have put into all your projects . Hugs Dede xxxx
Those cane chairs would look great in the patio area
I personally love when there is a juxtaposition of styles within a room. Although the peacock chairs are more suited for the sunroom by the pool, I still think they can work here. Another idea might be to center the Napoleon Trois commodes on the wall. And then put something on top of them(vases, ginger jars…) I might be silly, but I thought the little blue chairs looked wonderful on the first landing of the stairs!! But they also look good where they ended up. I don’t believe that woods need to match. I think an eclectic look, one that appears as if it has been assembled over the years, can be a very handsome and welcoming space. One thing that really warms up a space are area rugs on the floors. They can make a room feel more cozy, and certainly more quiet. So some area rugs might work. And then when you put more of your good taste on the walls it will be amazing to see this passion project bloom!! You guys have done such a phenomenal job. It’s an absolutely beautiful space!!! Well done!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Yes! I loved the blue chairs in the first bedroom
You should be so proud of what you’ve done in this beautiful house lv Ann uk 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️
I think large vases in the entrance hall and a large vase of flowers on the center table.
It is exciting to see the mansion fully furnished and decorated, It is truly a beautiful house.
I love this place. You have a great job. Anna is so sweet
Instead of those two chairs in the first bedroom, wouldn't a chaise be more in keeping with the ambiance? How many chairs does one need in a principal bedroom? But a nice chaise to sit and read....... And I agree with others, that those hallway chairs are not in keeping with the other furniture.....You have such beautiful antique pieces, but for a rental, it pays to remember that you are furnishing for today's lifestyle not 200 years ago. People will want comfortable places to sit and relax and many of the 200 years old pieces are not for comfort but show! Such a beautiful place and so many tough choices! Good luck at the brochante!
Really enjoyed seeing Anna featured in this video, her design skills are clearly evident each time she has a blank canvas with which to work. Just a suggestion...use rugs throughout the house, your guests will very much appreciate that!
You have a good beginning, but there are some easy tweaks you can still do. 1)Move the 2 huge mirrors into the foyer add a R and L sittee under the mirrors. 2)The room right next to the foyer, make that a library with 2 sofas and a coffee table between. So lots of shelving with books and games. In the window spaces you need a place for chess, checkers, backgammon, etc w table and chairs 3) Move all cane (wicker) furniture to the room with the wall reliefs. Add lots & lots of plants. 4) Statue in the stairway alcove. Add a chair rail with decorative panel/trim work under the chair rail & painted white along stairwell 5) Room with the "pink" patterned bedframe and blue chairs needs upholstered w fabric to match the curtain &chairs 6) dont be afraid to use wall sconces to fill the wall space. I think anyone would be happy to spend their vacation in this house. Bon Chance!
I think too that at #5 the bed stays and the theme of the room becomes pink themed.
In any space with 2 chairs you need a spot to put your book you are reading and reading glasses and maybe coasters for a drink.
Entry way I would put a tall parlour palm either side of the door. Definitely a mirror to check hair etc before leaving. I would love to see a nook room with a nice warm feeling. Comfy chairs and sofa to relax in at the end of the day. Wood panelling and warm paint above the chair rail and calling out maybe even for something like Chesterfield leather.
You really have a huge job ahead of you.
It is such a wonderful home! I wish that you were living there. But, if you are renting the space you must have good internet, and even though I do not care so much about them, You need small TV's in the bedrooms. Some books to read would also be nice. I would suggest some more modern china that is dishwasher safe. There are some beautiful classic designs that would go with your formal decoration. Here in the US this china is available second hand because so many people do not use it anymore. Have a great week! Good luck with your furniture hunting!
It looks beautiful, but the wicker chairs in the foyer are not formal enough for the space. Maybe two benches, one on each side?
IMO realistically is anyone going to be sitting on those chairs next to the front door? My suggestions are to put pedestals with a sculpture or large vases with flowers on either side of the door. Use the chairs where people can sit on them.
The white chairs need a small table for setting down glasses and a lamp for reading.
Yes! I think something decorative like statues or urns would look fabulous. Or something practical like an antique coat or umbrella stand. Or something natural like large potted plants. Chairs in the entry seem unnecessary.
It is beautiful, why not add some rugs. That makes a room warmer.
You guys are so nice. Ed does make a good statue. lol! Anna, take care of that cold. I hope renting out the Chateau is a big success.
Great walk through. It all looks very beautiful😊 I look forward to seeing the shopping now❤
If you are having the chairs in the entrance hall then some palm plants, mirrors, paintings. I know it is difficult to put ornaments in a rental but I think they would make it feel more homely. You can get those sort of things cheap in the brocantes just to dress it. They also sell a lot of dinner services that are far cheaper than the event you visit. I got a set of 20 dinner plates, 12 bowls, serving plates and dishes which were Limoges all for 35 euros. It is such a beautiful house and you have worked tirelessly on it. Looking forward to the antique event though they do always have exquisite things there.
I like the height of the cane chairs better than the 1st ones. The 1st ones looked too small next to the other furniture in the space.
Some big pottery pieces with tall grasses and branches could give some of the rooms a warmer feeling
Two cents: I'd put large trees in each of the corners, no chairs at all. I'd leave those bamboo chairs by the pool area as they're for outside anyway! Great job!! Amazing house!!!!
You think tenants are going to look after indoor plants or trees?
@@janetpendlebury6808 assuming the plants are real. Can always get very nice fake ones. Something green.
The size of the new chairs is right. The old ones looked miniature next to the tables.
I would put a large urn in the staircase niche full of fresh or dried flowers 💐 and use a lot of candle sticks and vases with fresh flowers through out the whole house. Something about living plants in a room to make it more inviting, and they're good for freshening up the air. 🌹🌺🏵️🌼😊
Yes!
Fresh flowers are not really practicable in a rental property, you also do not want too many knick knacks and vases around to get broken!
@@janetpendlebury6808 true, things can get broken, but you can still use inexpensive vases, and battery operated candles for fear of fire.
Looks like a fun shopping trip is in the near future plans! 👍
Ed and Anna you are doing such a great job,can not wait to see what you do next.
I so loved seeing that “cutie” bedroom with neat giraffe pillow;))
Decorating cushions for the wicker chairs and mirrors, some greenery!
It looks beautiful, but I personally think the rooms needs some nice carpets for some warm and Cozynes
Thank you Ed and Anna I injoy your videos 😊
I think both of you have a great taste and the rooms will be spectacular all the best 😊❤😊❤
Love your vlogs! However, the entryway needs wall paintings and the chairs would be more appropriate poolside - they don’t really suit the period.
I agree the Foyer needs to have the chests centered on each wall . A beautiful mirror over one and an oil over the other. Maybe small benches if you want seating.
Just be careful Anna and Ed, holiday renters don’t always look after other people’s belongings.
You are getting there.
The 2 large mirrors from the living room would look better in the entry with 2 identical benches for seating below them.
The cane chairs used there are Not suitable for the entry of such an elegant villa.
The large, black cupboards at the entrance just do not work. With facing mirrors the entrance should feel light and airy. These do not say "welcome."
Oriental rugs placed in front of fireplace would anchor a sitting area. 2 arm chairs facing a small sofa.
The same goes for a rug by the beds and to focus on groupings of chairs and tables.
The wicker room has a piece of furniture, a cupboard that's used in kitchens or eating spaces. It looks out of place there.
A Tall vase would work in the niche ar the landing. A
sculpture would be great but, one that size would be very expensive.
Rooms need plants to help them feel finished.
A large, decorated bowl would be nice for the entry table.
Invite several antique dealers to visit and give you their thoughts. Interior designers, even students of interior design could be helpful with ideas that you might never have thought of.
Look for large, affordable tapestries to cover walls.
Paintings are wonderful but, can be very expensive.
Candles in a bedroom of a rental aren't a good idea. Use battery candles instead.
I hope that these suggestions are food for thought! Your friend in Kansas City, Tom. ❤❤❤
Emmaus is great for large dinner services and glasses? What is missing is a good library with comfy chairs for reading? some of the bedrooms could do with little bookcases - especially in the alcoves.
I can’t wait to see you at the fair…shopping …🎉🎉🎉
Your passion project is just beautiful ❤
anna knows how to dress rooms all are perfect ❤
Oh what a lovely room and with the 2 blue chairs.☺️
No cane furniture with the other antiques. Save the cane for the pool area.
Holiday rentals, you say! Will absolutely love a holiday over there
Need a bit of color on the large chairs,pillows maybe.
Can’t wait to see what you buy.
Hi Anna and Ed, You have done a fantastic job renovating your villa. Personally, I don't think the cane chairs belong in the entrance hall, they were better in the sunny family room. I think two apolstered chairs would look more in keeping with other pieces in the hall. I love the look of modern mixed with antique. Some large, bright modern prints, plants and inexpensive rugs would certainly add a touch of colour and warmth to all the rooms as well as some decor items and lamps to make it look and feel more homely and "lived-in".
I’m reminded how beautifully everything has been done! You have great plans and can’t wait to see the shopping. I would flip the blue chairs and the white chairs in the first two bedrooms. Edd, wood doesn’t need to match. I don’t even think chairs are necessary in the entry and the rattan is more suited for the casual summer room. Keep the entry corners empty, or place a plant or umbrella stand. However, just my personal taste, and if you leave it as is it doesn’t look bad.
Good grief ! what an amazing place. You guys have worked so hard.
Briliant that you are goingto rent it out. Wishing you all the success in the worrld with it
Don't forget to consider large Tapestry for any of the wall covering options.......It will look stunning.
A tapestry would be perfect for that large space on the stairwell!
Or a screen taken apart to make graduated panel going up the stairs…..or some wood panels with framed hand painted scenes….or a collection of corbels ( or even a painted wood block) with faux orchids in pots to add color and surprise…..or a collection of candle sconces with soft pastel colored candles and you can intertwine them with a faux vine or climbing rose….or paint it on the wall….you could use battery operated candles you can turn on with a remote, also….
I agree with the tapestry idea in the stairway @@santiagobenites
Glad you decided on a pool cover. Phil is looking to get rid of some of his stuff. You might finds some things at his chateau at Chateau Life. I think rugs and art pieces will warm the place up. Happy hunting 😍😘
Im not sure on the cane chairs in the Entrance area , i be finding some very French chairs for there with gold on them they need to be of a good size too but thats just my comment . Its a Beautiful Building
I am not an expert but if you think of the functionality of the entrance hall - does it need benches to sit to remove boots etc, umbrella stands, coat racks, hat racks, etc? Is that what it will be used for? I trust Anna’s vision. Just curious.
It is a huge place to furnish for rental. You will be able to add more furnishings as income comes in. Such a lovely place!
Just a thought - can you not make arrangements with local galleries to use your walls to advertise art for sale? Your guests will have the desired income to rent the place to begin with.
The insurance for 'hosting' the art work might be a bit prohibitive? You cannot guarantee people will look after, let alone not nick it or damage it in some way.
@@janetpendlebury6808 true. I know this is done in other places but I admit I do not know the details.
I think you should have one bedroom with twin beds gives more variety for guests sleeping arrangements. Whilst the cane chairs looked really nice not really in keeping with the other furnishings. Look forward to seeing the finished look.
Good morning. Good to see you guys again.☺️👍
My compliments on your terrific eye in staging both for sale & then for the rental market. Both retain a stunningly luxurious ambiance without the untouchable 'museum' impression. As you stated, the dining room is a perfect example of showing buyers the versatility of style, but adjusting elements for the rental market makes sense. (😀good value in paired chairs!)
The cane chairs should go in summer room not hallway. I certainly wouldn’t be putting best crystal and plates in a rental they ain’t going to stand and hand wash it. Good quality but not the very best in the rental I learned that lesson the hard way. Good luck.
Anna, I hope you are feeling 100 % better now. I love you both are incredibly smart, and hardworking ❤️.
Keep the red ones for the front entrance in stead of wicker as they are dark wood as well. Or two large urns with palm plants in them.
Hey Ed & Anna! Just a quick suggestion ... for the two cane chairs in the first room, perhaps the cushions could be like a red or orange ... something to give a pop of color, and, provide people with extra back support if needed.
A nice floral arrangement in the niche where Ed was standing would be nice. It will add color in the stairwell and save on cost of buying a large statue.
Hi Edd & Anna, can't wait to see what you find. It's always nice to see the mansion, it's beautiful! Good luck shopping, hope you get some good deals! Have a wonderful week. Thank you for sharing, take care. Lots of love Kathy x ❤
Just an idea I have used before when I needed lots of pictures for empty walls. I ordered a book of botanical prints and I took the book apart to use the flower prints. I would matte and frame them with standard size ready made frames and mattes and group them in collections anywhere from 6, 9 or 12 pieces depending on how large the walls were. With your tall ceilings I would imagine the larger groupings would be best. I used the botanical prints but I could see architectural renderings in pen & ink would be beautiful, also. It is a very economical way to fill a wall and these kind of groupings have been used for many years in classic decorating. Hope this idea helps. Your passion project is so beautiful and your work is perfection! Can't wait to see what you find at the antique fair.
I love watching it all come together with the new items. You both have great taste, so looking forward to the antique market! Going around your beautiful mansion brings back memories of loving every vlog of you renovating and restoring it.
That room is very nice too with the mirrors and the fireplace.☺️
Ed and Anna. Please do whatever you want to do with your château because everybody wants tell you how to decorate your own château. 😅 Thank you Ed, and Anna ❤ I do understand that everybody has opinions, but ultimately it’s Ed and Anna’s choice to decorate their Château how they wish. Ed and Anna do not claim to be interior designers. Let them decorate how they want. Ultimately it’s they are footing the bills and raising two children.
People can suggest, and then it's up to Ed and Anna if they like the suggestions. We all know it's theirs, and they pay for it, lifers can also have an opinion 😊
Not everybody is going to have the same opinion, or like the same design.
When a comment is negative from beginning of a paragraph to the end about Ed and Anna’s design choice.
I would think people would want to remain positive, supportive, upbuilding, and thoughtful, and considerate for all?
My bad! 🤔
Mirrors or Batique art in the entrance hallway
Edd and Anna. I hope you are able to find all the trimmings you need at the antique fair. The chateau will look beautiful once you complete the room furnishings. Looking forward to the final look. See ya at the antique fair. Until next time. Please, take care and stay safe. Love ya 🍺🍺🙏😇🕊🇺🇸🌈👍🌹🌞👏❤️🥤Happy Holidays ☃️🧁🍭🥂🎁🔔🌈🎄🎅
In the first bedroom, I think a screen in front of the fireplace would look nice. Maybe hide the fact that it's not working. The second bedroom might need a smaller table to go with the chairs.
I'm really looking forward to the shopping trip. Fingers crossed that you can find some great deals. 🤞🤞🤞
Nice stairs and landing to put chairs on for the time being before taking them upstairs.☺️
You have huge empty walls, so maybe go for larger scale paintings or hangings rather than many small paintings.
