My Aunt's canning closet-tucked under the basement stairs with a pull string light and the golden colors of the canned Ball jars. I still tell her that were there a natural disaster, her canning closet would be where I'd seek shelter.
A friend whose family had a bright and sunny room upstairs designated just for playing pingpong. The only big item in that room was the pingpong table.
High school friends who lived in Arts/Crafts style homes. One home had blue wallpaper with a bird background and a sleeping porch. Another had beautiful oak built in glass door cabinets and a huge claw foot dining table in the dining room.
My childhood homes were all built post 1960.

One dog sleeps on bed year round, other dog only on cold winter nights. Neither is allowed on the couch-though they keep trying. They are 45 and 65 lbs. each and think they are lap dogs. Pop crates have to be put on seats of couch so they don't get up on it while no humans are home. By the way Febreeze supposedly has some chemical in it that can be harmful for pets to breathe.

The area below the teak shelf-between tub curve and wall is dead space. Can you get a piece of laminate cut to mimic the curve and use it as a shelf somehow?? If you get a light shade of laminate the bottles would look very nice there. and better in scale than where they are now. A bamboo blind would be affordable and look good. You could hang it midway so you still can see the bamboo outside. A folding bamboo stool would be nice to use for a book when needed. You definitely deserve a new bath mat. What about hanging sheers on the door that leads to the kitchen?
