@muriel_chase ran across this photo from 2 years ago and it made me nostalgic. We had launched one room but still had 2 months more of construction to go -- and so much more to learn.

There are the obvious things -- notice the janky curtain over where we still needed to build the grand room bookcase door.

But our layout completely changed as we added more bistro tables and less couches. There was no foliage on the walls. That plant on the table died despite our best efforts and we stopped trying to work with live plants at all. And there are little to no table lamps or floor lamps, affecting the overall lighting ambiance.

Crazy how much has changed and how one photo can encapsulate so many lessons.
