Decorating Dilemma:

Hello Mary! First, you did a great job and everything is so pretty and inviting! We understand what you mean about needing a lighting revamp, and we have a few suggestions. Consider adding two new lamps on either side of your loveseat with lighter shades to allow more light. Move your grandmother's lamp to the console with the plant for a nice accent. In the dining room, try an unexpected chandelier that contrasts with the heavier furniture style. For the sunroom, add a task lamp near one of the chairs for better lighting when you're working. Finally, consider a larger sofa to better fit the scale of the room, and maybe add a rug in the dining area to soften the space and differentiate it from the wood floor and table.
