I am going to put a mirror to bring in some light from the…

Need to improve dining area
I am renting a condo with a small dining area. I was able to fit my grandmother's dining room furniture (which means a lot to me) because the table has removable leaves plus drop leaves. I just feel it is a bit dull for my taste. I am open to ideas except replacing the furniture.

Any suggestion
If anyone can provide visual cues it would be greatly appreciated. What has me stumped is this cool metal and lets no overlook (I know they’re a blessing but…) all the doors won’t allow for setting up a focused entryway/landing spot. Thank you in advance. P.S. Yes I tried AI and I don’t know what’s worse, my lack of vision…

What to do with this hallway?
Hello, I need to decorate this hallway. I have these 24inch canvases to put but don't know what else to put with it or where because all 3 don't fit on 1 wall. The hallway is narrow and I have a 4year old so I am not interested in any shelfs or hooks. I need budget friendly suggestions as well. Please help.

My entry nook needs SOMETHING
This is the space as you enter my small apartment (opposite the kitchen). I would love some ideas on how to maximize the space with storage without it feeling overwhelming as soon as you walk in. My style combines modern with a bit of glam x industrial. Access to the side walls is needed for the light switch and intercom.…

What should we do with this wall?
We live in a 1914 craftsman and want to add some additional bookshelves in our living room. We are looking into modular systems but not sure what to do here. The wainscoting goes up to 26.5" and we'd prefer not to drill/mount anything on it. Love some ideas!

Exterior Design Question
Most know what a spiral staircase looks like. So I have always wondered why some city garden apartments have 2 to 6 steps when many who want a garden apartment need flat homes. Masons must conform to specific angles when making concrete ramps and too often there is insufficient garden apartment space for a ramp. I'm…

Hi NY friends! Where do you like to shop for your homes in and around NYC? Any favorite thrift/antique or home goods shops?
