Red, White, & Rustic

wilma — Mon, 24 Aug 2020 17:09:46 GMT

What do you think?

I don’t mind red & white in decorating, but I’m not into rustic furnishings. There’s very little in this room that I would want in my home.

I might be able to use the table & red chairs in a kitchen or outside on a patio. I really dislike the round red mirror or art(?). The light fixture & the wooden chair with the grey dirty looking seat cushion are really unatttactive IMO.

I like the vintage looking overhead light though I wouldn't have it in my home most likely.

The red is a bit too bright, maybe if the chairs were more of a darker shade or burgundy,

for my taste anyway.

I like rustic too but not THIS rustic. It does look like a picnic table.

I think with a light touch and making sure to pick matching reds, it could work.

I'm pretty much like you....I don't mind red and white for a dining room but am not a rustic gal, whatsoever!!!!

@wilma The only things I like are the table and the 2 end chairs, don't like red furnishings at all.

That big red circle looks like an ad for Target!!

The room looks like my Sunday target ad, so it is a pass for me.

I like the Roman shade on the window, and that's all. I can't figure out what the red circle is. There's nothing reflecting in it, so it's not a mirror.

I wonder if the owner works at Target.

No to anything rustic.

I like the light fixture and the Roman shade. I'd like to get a better look at the chairs at the ends of the table.

Not feeling the room though.

Looks like a Target ad.

And I'm not a professional, but to me there is colonial, primitive, industrial, country, shabby chic, rustic, woodland, farmhouse (which mostly isn't), and then there is dirty junk (not that dirty junk doesn't have a second life with some work put to it).

Some of what I see here is just dirty junk (the before shot! lol)

The crooked fence in the back yard isn't helping things either...

That large red "O" on the wall is a turn off. This kitchen is not what I call rustic.

Talk about a misnomer... Nothing Beautiful about that House... at least not that I see...

I knew HB had slipped a few notches since the big housecleaning... Maybe now that the house is being cleaned again, it'll improve... Or at least hope springs eternal...

Take away all the red and add a soft blue, green, or gray along with plants and other decor then I think it might be a cute rustic vacation cabin.

This room has potential. But the way it is now, not my taste. I like the red n white, but the room looks sloppy to me. I don't like the bags hanging from the doorknob and the crooked hangar thing on the wall. I don't care for the light fixture. I'm not wild about the 2 lead chairs at the table. The round mirror seems too contemporary.

The watermelon on the table looks like a good one.

Could be cute with a few changes. A little less cluttered. Some different lead chairs, pretty dishes and table linens, a different light fixture, and different wall decor.
