    You have such a good eye for decorating. The shelves and that wall look super nice now. Also, makes that area look bigger. I like the table there way better than that desk. The round table fits that area a lot better. Great job cleaning the windows! The best part for me as a major dog lover was watching those three playing and having fun. I think Theo would love a little playmate. ❤ Looking forward to seeing the home tour. Happy Halloween. 🎃

    @benjiplant You should consider getting a good air purifier if you don’t have one already! They help with cleaning your home air, reducing dust on furniture and floor, and it helps with circulating air in a warm room. I have a Blue Air 211+ Auto which you can customize the color for the filter but I am sure you can find any good one out there in the market that you like.
