My moss friend and her dh stayed the night earlier this week. She's a dynamo organizer with impeccable taste, as well as an artist.
He's all around great with landscaping and tools...is currently building a room of bookshelves for his brother.
I appreciated their input, but man...they were instructed to be ruthlessly honest and they were.
They voted to remove the bunk bed from the family room and replace it with the Q bed currently located in the downstairs LR...walls constructed from antique armoire and silk draperies.
Some love that crazy bedroom, so removing it feels like killing one of my darlings. The house would sleep 4 fewer people in beds with 1 fewer bedrooms.
She rearranged fireplace mantle stuff and organized drawers....got rid of half the silverware....live/die choices on bedding, etc.
It was fun to have them and the husband said this was an upscale Airbnb experience many times, which felt good. He also thought all 4 fireplaces had gas fires, when really they're just flicker bulbs. He thinks zero real fires in the house....I was thinking we'd offer real fires in upstairs LR, but he was adamant it's a dangerous mistake, bc people are careless.
She feels all the cowboy trophies and "stuff" need to go. Another darling killed.
We moved the antlers out of the room we designated the hunting room, bc now it has the huge and very fancy bespoke pineapple headboard. She wants bedding in there and family room changed out.
The up master closet draperies should be inside mounted, which is fine with me. The ocean painting to be mounted over the closet. She simplified so many swirling questions for me!
I gave her two empty nests from the porches and she'll add them to her sunroom porch collection.
