ENGLISH COASTAL LIVING ROOM

Oznell — Fri, 12 Jun 2020 14:01:47 GMT

But of all living rooms in the "traditional eclectic" category, I'm usually most drawn to quirky English cottage sitting rooms. This one is a combo sitting room/ library. I'm of two minds about the twiggy mirror-- but am inclined to like it in its context!

Here's the entrance to the sitting room, showing the library wall:

Love the way they repurposed a long, French antique buffet in the sitting room. Using furniture in unexpected ways is an antidote to boredom.

Cozy, casual, individualized.

That fireplace is kind of cool looking and I do like that mirror-it is very different and unique, but fits in this room to me! I actually really like this space!

Love the way they used the buffet table in the sitting room. Love everything about that particular vignette.

Comfy feel and pleasant to look at. I like the idea of one, quirky item in each room. So the mirror can stay.

I could be quite happy with all of this. Thanks for sharing!

It has a cozy feel and I like the triple length sideboard.

With the exception of the use of the buffet table and its decor, I do not care for the furnishings. The couches aren't my taste and I do not like the mirror. However, there is charm and warmth in the room and with changes, I would feel comfortable there.

I see so many English rooms in desperate need of restuffing the cushions. Do they not know you can restuff cushions? They are so often sagging like crazy.

England unite! Restuff today! Make life better! Save the bottoms of Britain!

I don't care for any of it.

@Sooner I appreciate your concern re us Brits rear rear ends lol - made me laugh.

I do remember our cushions sagged too on couches at home but the cushions were always feather filled so always needed plumping but were comfy to sit on.

Liked this room very inviting. - like seeing the ‘library’ thanks for sharing.

@Oznell I like the bookcase and the antique French buffet, but the rest of it is too dark and cluttered for me.

Too much stuff for me in, what seems to be, a small room.

I love this room, especially the saggy bottom plaid pieces.

Id keep the fire wood outside though, and declutter a few items.

@Oznell

The long sideboard is my favorite piece in these rooms.

@Oznell I like the vibe, but I'm not at all sure about the fireplace. Is it meant for cooking? Why isn't it at ground level to keep your feet warm? Heat rises.
