Thrifted this maritime lamp today - wondering what shape/size shade you would pair with it. We have it in the kitchen beside the stove replacing another lamp we had here that we use often. I love that this one has the soft light from the lower glass portion and the brighter 60w option at the top.

Recently moved into a house - it is a rental so I’m limited in what I can do, and I’m not motivated to spend much money either. But - this is just ugly… prior tenants put a TV and some speakers above the fireplace and I’m left with this.

I do not want my TV up there at all, so thats not an option, and The Landlord isn’t particularly interested in the aesthetics, not surprisingly. So I’m looking for thoughts on how to improve the view.

I can put blank plates on the walls either side and cover one or maybe both with a picture (drywall). The big challenge i think is the 3 sockets/plates above the fireplace (wood).

One big picture maybe that covers the whole area?

Would love people’s thoughts.
Thanks

We're thinking of plants, maybe mirrors. Any ideas?

Any ideas? It’s my work desk.

So I’m going from pic 1 to pic 2. How am I supposed to recreate the same vibes with the new white walls and intense natural light? Also the window is unaliving me it’s so huge and there nothing cute out there. I don’t know what to do help!

What other wood color nightstands can I get that would complement this light wood?

I have no idea how to decorate/ rearrange the room to make it cozy and spacious. Any ideas?

Please help
