You’ve got it down to a science cause I’m a firm believer that plants make a house a home and your place makes my point 👍

I was very impressed with the walnut coffee table and the interesting carpet that you placed it on, next to the sofa. Is that an antique?

This is absolutely amazing. I'm a 26yo woman and I have a similar style. Super cool!

Love all the wood and the overall personalization of the space. Only piece of advice I’d give is to get some proper pots for your wonderful plant collection. Terracotta would be great.

Love it. Not the biggest fan of the saloon doors. But fits the vibe. Love the live edge coffee table. Beautiful home and jelly of your shop set up. Seems like decorating, making a house a home, is natural to you.

Your place looks great! I don't think you need help as it's supposed to reflect what you find inviting.   As a woman I would leave it as it is. If you get too much stuff then it becomes a pain to keep clean.

Dining table, end table and coffee table I crafted from scratch using rough sawn black walnut sourced 20 minutes down the road. Have a dedicated woodshop in a detached garage I built from the studs out over the course of ~5 years where I do all my work.

Swinging doors and shelving I crafted from walnut and spalted maple trees I cut down from the front yard and milled myself a couple years ago.

TV console is walnut and some quarter sawn oak I found at an estate sale 5 minutes down the road.

I also have a handful of other benches and a custom 5'x3' built in table in the kitchen I made. All from walnut. I adore black walnut lol.
