arroyo, you rule! Thanks for the tip!

I love the Wayne Thiebaud print. He's my all time fave.

Great space!

I recommend a trip to St. Louis if anyone reading is entertaining the idea. The city is beautiful & the trip is economical. The Art Museum is a must.

Thank you for maintaining the dignity and history of the home. I love the subtle updates.

I LOVE old homes and am usually horrified to see a DWR showroom inside after a "restoration".

Beautifully done and obviously filled with love and care.

Please don't paint the brick. It's gorgeous and its timeless.

The dark windows make the house look modern but the shutters give a mixed message. I suggest removing the shutters to make the house look more cohesive. You might decide to keep the color.

I would also paint the door a bold color. Maybe Eggplant, or Navy.

Beautiful Place. I have a similar esthetic. I disagree with some of the comments about the quality of the photos. This site is about apartments and inspiration not about photographic how-to. I do agree about the Ikea Chair in the room. I love a chair in the room, just not that one. Kudos to a lite and airy atmosphere in a city full of dark and lifeless apts.

I love the future. I can't wait!

How about just a nice pile of large smooth clean river stones around the base. I would leave the wall alone and focus on the base. I love the antique look and I like the minimalism of it standing alone. I wouldn't want to distract from it (aside from some art in the room)

I would paint the living room all one color. Something soft to make it feel larger also, use an egg shell finish paint to diffuse the light and give an airy feeling. I gotta go with the rug suggestions also. Maybe a flokati in a neutral shade.

Any warm accessories or collections to personalize the space more?

The antique nesting chickens above your sink are an amazing touch. They are beautiful and rural-chic. I have never seen a bunny tho. Now I am obsessed with finding a bunny.
