I need help finishing off a few rooms - rugs, coffee/end tables, art, and help with where to hang frames, etc. In my family room I have a fireplace mantle/shelves that I hate so I’d like a plan to update that too, but I probably won’t change it for a few years. I’m overwhelmed by havenly, so hoping someone here can recommend a site/individual (or havenly tips)

Sorry if this is not helpful, but I would *not* recommend Modsy. Granted it's a couple of years since I tried them, but they were terrible. Every designer I got matched with seemed to leave in a few weeks and I'd have to start over. Their interface to allow you to switch things out on your own was terrible, I couldn't even switch out rug sizes (e.g., see how an 8 x 10 would look in the room instead of a 5x8). I paid for a custom furniture model that they just never ended up doing. The one or two designs I got were pretty much exactly the opposite of what I asked for -- for example, my main request was that I wanted a colorful rug, and they sent me a design with a solid cream-colored rug. In the end I had decorated the whole room myself and never got anything useful from them. They did refund me my money in the end, but it was an exercise in frustration.
I have used and absolutely love Black Cat Interiors on Etsy. Yekki is so sweet and amazing at decor. My only complaint is that it occasionally takes a week for her to respond.
