Maybe you could install two inexpensive white roller shades below the basement window to roll down when you need a nice clean backdrop for your pictures and then you can put them away when you don’t. That way they will stay nice and clean and will be there as needed.

Sophia, I think you did a great job of putting the buffet together (especially now you have your new electric screwdriver), and I think it looks better placed against the back wall. Also, not sure if your buffet has these, but most modern furniture door hinges usually have little levelling screws (not the ones that attach them to the furniture) that adjust forward and backwards to balance how your hinges sit, so the doors close together level with an equal gap all the way around. I have a suggestion for hiding the wall: Why not use a large piece of MDF or thickish wood board (either painted, contact paper veneered or wallpapered) screwed to the back of the buffet that goes up to the ceiling to make a back panel to the cabinet to hide the wall behind. It can be edge with decorative wooden trim. You could even screw shelf brackets to it and add shelves.

My idea of birthday/ Mother's Day presents are appliances and tools. There is nothing wrong with being practical! This year, for Christmas, I'm getting my very first computerized sewing machine!!! The Brother Innov-is A150 🤩🎄🎁🥰 it's the automatic thread cutter for me! For context, I currently have the Brother GS2510, which is a little beast of a machine and has served me very well for over 7 years, so it will be a bit of an upgrade 😊

The drawer bottoms look so flimsy! Even with the bracers supporting all four sides, I can see the middle eventually bowing and snapping in half. That's one reason I don't like bookcases with long shelves. They bow in the middle even if modt the weight is concentrated at the ends of the shelf. Each shelf should have support in the middle to help with weight distribution.
