Wow, what a great piece! I hope you purchased it!

best decision would be to incorporate any changes for the entry with the upstairs renovation .please post photo of the new upstairs and roof and what do you plan for the front yard, fence and driveway?

Hi, I’m very late to this conversation so I apologise for butting in. I refer only to your console table in this pic and you said it looks bulky. I think the issue is the vase and the candlesticks are too similar in height so they add bulk and not enough contrast. I would remove the candlesticks altogether and place the vase offset in front of the picture with the small dish in front again. The picture would be even better if you changed the frame to a white or black with a white matt surrounding the picture, similar to the frame below. Also the lamp casts a yellow light which would be better if it was white. Either it’s the globe or the shade. If the shade, change to an off white or very soft grey. That’s my two cents worth anyway. Hope it helps 😏

Measure all your furniture and make actual size templates with pieces of paper. Then move the templates around the rooms and see what works best. This is a lot easier that lifting and moving furniture. If you want the dining in the lounge because that works for you then do that. Don’t be dictated to what a room is used for because that is the name of it on a plan.
