The art over the TV being larger than the TV is an example of poor scale. Your sectional screams lounging TV watching arena but your TV says "we have it for news only" again poor scale. Is the art over the TV larger than what's over the sectional? Perhaps a swap, I see several fun pieces of art. Maybe they just need to be rearranged. Nothing new purchased? No to random mirrors and clocks. The breakfast table has to be centered on the window, if not removed. Why is it waaaay over there, unless the door to the right is the kitchen??? Oh I see it's to the patio. I agree on the curtains, they could be richer more elegant just by adding more panals. So remove everything from the walls and focus on the art --everything other little thing can go away. Hang a larger TV over the console. If you flip the room and put the seconal in the left corner perhaps you would open things up a bit and have room for the table closer to the kitchen.

The arched garage doors are so nice, if a lattice is in the cards, they would be nice arched as well. The squared off lattice does not show them off.

Just about any color would work. Contrary to what some think there are some very comfortable sleeper sofas ( I have one ), however, they’re not cheap. Perhaps you don’t want to make your guests TOO comfortable & overstay their welcome 😂

I agree with everyone to put up that gorgeous wallpaper and replace the mirror with the bird prints. It's refreshing to see someone here who isn't afraid of color and pattern! Most of the time we see dilemmas on which shade of gray to add to a gray room with gray walls, flooring, curtains and upholstery!

Your house is lovely and I think a portico will look great. We have a brick portico on our colonial that we love; I don't know if you ever considered that as an option.

I normally get just a few. I get Oriental beetles more. And they seem to gravitate to the roses. Is there anything else they eat that I should be looking out for? My roses are underperforming this year. I didn't deadhead and I'm not getting a 2nd flush so, maybe they're not going to be attractive to the beetles this year?
