my apartment needs a serious makeover. I know what I love but I don’t know how to pull it together, so I’m coming to you guys. Pic of my living room attached.

My style is hard to explain… colorful vintage Catholic meets Mexican folk art meets granny chic? Basically if my grandma and a Mexican mercado decorated a room together lol.

What I love:
• Colorful tin milagro hearts (dreaming of a big wall of them)
• Rosaries
• Old ornate gold frames
• Cross stitch samplers
• Flowers and hearts everywhere
• Family photos mixed in with the religious art
• Candles, plants, stuff that feels alive

What I don’t love:
• Area rugs. Tried them, hate them, idk. Maybe need to find right size or shape or style?
• My gray coffee table.
• How flat everything feels right now

What I’m working with:
• Really high ceilings
• Sectional with a sage green cover
• One dark teal accent wall
• Wood floors
• Can’t paint or change wall colors, so everything has to work with what’s there

Budget is tight I live on Facebook Marketplace.
Would love any ideas, especially for making a wall of small colorful pieces look intentional and not chaotic, and what kind of coffee table would fit this vibe.

ISO: my grandma’s wedding band 💍 it’s a gold band. She was out yesterday from ~12:30PM to 4:30PM. She took the B48 to Nassau & Manhattan and then went to Cinderella’s Card Shop, Maria’s Hair Salon, Greenpoint Nail Salon (for eyebrows) and D2. She took the B48 back as well.
Please let me know if someone has seen it or has it, my grandparents have been married for 53 years and she has never before lost it. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
