Christmas Train Wreck 😱

wilma — Wed, 02 Dec 2020 16:45:46 GMT

Why would anyone put a train in this spot? Someone is going to trip, fall, & possibly get injured. I'm hoping it was added just for this photo shoot and was removed after the photo was taken.

Regarding the rest of the room:

I think the white and neutrals with touches of gold & silver look very nice. I like the chairs & the accessories on the fireplace mantel. The green ornaments give it a pop of color. It’s still too much white for me though.

I am sure the entire "room" is just for the photo. Doubt it is a real place.

Take away the ridiculous location of the train and I love the room.

Very pretty.

Looks like department store window decor.

I don't have an issue with it. Why not? We had one several years that was almost like that but it was in the living room, so we weren't sitting in the chair every day.

To me it looks like a fun thing to do and unless you have dogs or small children, I doubt seriously it is a hazard. Well if there is a lot of drinking that's a different problem.

I love the white Christmas decor, but the train looks ridiculous. I have never understood the use of trains in holiday decorating, but this one is in a particularly strange location.

Not a train girl.

What a beautiful room, minus the train!

I wouldn't use the fireplace with that much stuff piled in front. And waaay too much white for me.

I'm thinking it is a room "for show" that is rarely used.

It's a very pretty room but not for me. I'm not into the "light and airy" look that so many others love. I love the train but, yeah, I think it's a tripping hazard in its current location.

The decor is the TRAIN WRECK! So cold and unwelcoming.

It looks like a magazine shoot. Or an obsessive person or two, one who loves their childhood train. Either way, unreal.

@wilma It appears to be staged, but perhaps someone actually "lives" in this room.

Lose the 'message' pillow and while this isn't necessarily a look I'd embrace, it is a look I can appreciate... It's very 'frosty' and serenely lovely in its somewhat commercial looking way and yes, I'd skip the train...

Maybe the room isn't used for anything but "show." All ghat white upholstered furniture would drive me batty.

The train is definitely not in a safe place and looks unsightly. I do like the seating area but would have green trees and not so much white.

Good grief do y'all have hoe-downs in the living room? R...

Good grief do y'all have hoe-downs in the living room? Roller derby? Soccer matches?

I must have a very sedate life because in no way would this train set be a hazard, tripping problem or otherwise during the holidays. We'd just sit in the chair and not bother it.

Most likely when we had people over one of us who knows it is there would take that chair, but most of my friends would think it was fun to have the train running around.

But then I guess we live the quiet life!

And look how much wood they have stuffed inside the fireplace. That's not how you build a fire. At least not how a sane person builds a fire.

All that white wouldn't be practical for me, but I do think it looks beautiful! The train adds a touch of whimsy.

I don't like anything about that room.😂
