It's a beautiful room. I don't like a lot of stuff around, so I would make some changes.

First impression?

Late 50s/early 60s TV.

Picture this as the set for a scene in Perry Mason, or Bachelor Father.

Fits, doesn't it?

Looks like my Aunt Hazel's dream home.

Personally, I'd start by removing both sofas and a lot of the stuff on the walls. Maybe paint to accent the structural detail.

That's actually really nice.

I like everything but the picture over the fireplace. As much as I love dogs, I don't like that old fashioned picture.

Oh and also that little wicker table either-they tend to get dusty and dirty looking and I only like wicker outside.

But a really nice room!

A comfortable inviting room....a couple minor changes, remove three of the four paintings/prints stacked up in one row and remove a few of the items on the tables/fireplace. It would enhance the serenity of this pleasant room...as well as the addition of a couple green plants.

The house looks very nice, but not my traditional style decor and definitely not my colors, but for me personally, I'll take it over the modern I see now.

Love the room and like the furniture except the coffee table and the so very small table by the couch. This room could be traditional or country depending on the tables you place in the room as the fireplace could be traditional, country, french, contempory.

Love it except for...........those 4 pictures. With bookcase and french doors - too much - too much going on in that corner.

The couches look like they bought one-size- fits- all slipcovers.

Any nice upholstery on them and the room would look nice.

Seating isn't set up for setting a drink down easily.

If I'm forced to hold my glass, I'd probably sip constantly. And if it's wine, I'd start listing....sooner.

@jubilant I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this! Just two days ago I was sorting things and found a beautiful and nicely made tablecloth out of that blue material!

It's not a great fit for the table I have now, it will work but I said "I'm keeping that because I might make toppers or chair cushions of something!"

Love the room!

It's a nice room,. but looks a little cluttered to me. Don't like the stuff on the mantle, the subject of the picture over the fireplace, or the 3 pics on the wall.

Does anyone know what that is over the bookcase?

@jubilant I hate white furniture and that chair is an absolute horror. And ditch the drapes. That's just for starters.

I like the room except for the coffee table. Might make a few other changes but that is the one that stands out the most. The room looks up to date to me.

@jubilant Love the painting of the puppy over the fireplace.

Thank you for this photo.

I would be very comfortable there.

@jubilant

Love the room. It's timeless.

I love pictures "stacked up" on a wall. I also especially love the shape of the arms on those sofas.

Not to say I love everything, but overall it's very liveable and attractive.

I like traditional style, but there's nothing in this room that I really love. It's ok, but I wouldn't choose those furnishings or colors for my home. The windows and doors are nice. I think the fireplace looks too big, and I don't care for the style and color of the wood around it.

@Patriot3 I think that is a light over the bookcase.

@jubilant I think this is a beautiful room, but I would make a few changes. I would change out the art work, especially the one over the fireplace. I would also remove the small/low table (or maybe it is a stool) since that is an accident waiting to happen. Not a fan of the area rug, even though it does work with the upholstery, and I would change out the pillows to pillows that were more decorative and add a beautiful throw to the sofas.

Nice room but it is cluttered. When I see shelves now I think dust. I guess for me at this point less is best.
