I am finally back in my own place after five years. I would love some suggestions.

Things I hate:

* Every other wall is brick, so hanging stuff has to be more strategic.

* I don’t have many outlets and most aren’t even 3 prong.

* I don’t love the new gray couch, so I’m using my old blue one to add color but I’m really looking for the new right couch cover.

* I don’t love the glass front cabinet because I have a toddler and it’s just asking to get broken.

To dos:

* I live in AZ and any day now will become hot. So, I will be adding white “black out” curtains for under the blush lace curtains and add another set or two of panels to add fullness.

* My friend gave me the rug but I want something checkered or more fun.

* Add gallery wall above the couch. I’ve been finding cute frames at thrift stores.

* I was thinking about doing another gallery wall but more of an altar of loved ones who have passed on. And a console where the cabinet is.

* Add a chest for all the toys.

* Coat closet is getting a new curtain but I haven’t found one I like.

Any ideas other than more greenery? I’m not opposed to painting.

    I like the cozy feel and the colors.  

    In most pictures, I feel rooms usually need softer textures.  In your case, it’s ALL soft textures: curtains, blankets, throw pillows, rugs, more curtains for what I’m guessing is a closet.  The wood pieces don’t seem to really do much to anchor the space.  

    Can you use Command strips on painted brick?

    Your tv is too high and I like your rocker

    The curtains look like cheap lingerie. I think you should get some proper fabric curtains. Remove the clock and just some art up

    Too much clutter, too many patterns, so very little cohesion. The end tables and lamps look like bedside tables.

    First of all, congrats on being back in your own place 🤍

    With so many brick walls, I’d suggest wallpapering at least one wall (maybe behind the couch or where the new console will go). A warm, subtle pattern could add a lot of personality without needing to hang a ton of things and make it a beautiful focal point.

    For the glass cabinet, you could use a frosted film to make it safer and visually calmer.

    I really think one statement wallpaper wall would instantly make the space feel more finished and intentionally designed
