I love the chandelier, beautiful. I also like the look and space of this room. I once had walls this color many years ago. With the exception of the coffee table, I'll take it !!

Sorry, but no. Looks too "Soap Opera" dramatic to me.

Give me a can of white paint..or even paint stripper to remove that gaudy teal paint. The ceiling is an ugly color too.

I like the structure of the room and built-ins and lovely windows, but everything would have to go..furniture, drapes and that chandelier that clashes with the style of the wall sconces.

Someone ruined the beautiful wood and hid the fine details of the custom woodwork by painting everything teal.

I think it's a pretty room. I don't care for the blue walls, but I love that the ceiling is not white. Love the furniture.

@lolakimono Gadzooks no. Too formal, too cluttered, too fussy. I itch just looking at it. And I 'specially don't like the light fixture.

A lot of potential but something about this room just misses. Also, pretty as it is, I think the lighting fixture is a bit too grand for the overall look of the room.

I like to think I'm open minded about most things, but this is just plain awful, in my humble opinion! It reminds me of an elderly aunt's home back in the 1950s.

@lolakimono It does lean toward the Bohemian, doesn't it?

I love this room!

I like the basic design, but the room is overloaded.

That chandelier is HIDEOUS.

I think the lighting in the photo ruins the room. The leather sofa looks washed out and you don't get the richness of the leather. I think without the sun glare the room would be beautiful.

I'd prefer a nicer chandelier. That one looks a little to octopus to me.

I like blue but not this shade of blue. The room itself is OK but I would have to replace all the furniture, lighting, and that panel in front of the fireplace has to go.

A pretty cream paint color would work for me.

I try to find elements in every room that I like. The flowers in the vase are pretty.
