Do you have a favorite?

@stevieb I like the second one. It seems much calmer and more relaxed to me.

The mass of color in the first one would disturb me over time.

@stevieb #2...the first one is just to busy for me.

Pretty! I really like the weathered lanterns in second picture.

Both are very pretty. A few too many leaves in the first one; a few too little in the second.

They are both beautiful but my pick is 1, love all the color in an otherwise bland sea of beige.

I do like both but #2 is more welcoming IMO...I can feel the heat of the fire from here.

Both are beautiful, but I prefer # 1-more color!!!!

I prefer #1. The mantel in #2 is a big turn off for me because I don't care for the mirror image on both sides of the mantel. That's me.

I like #2 very much with the touches of soft blue...take away about half the leaves on the mantle in #1 and it would also be nice. It just looks like a mess with so many leaves spilling off the mantel and also a fire hazard.

I agree @Regal Bee .

And why use garlands of fake dyed leaves when the backdrop is lot of beautiful real leaves---that will turn brilliant colors on their own.

Otherwise, I like the first space more.

Both beautiful, I couldn't choose just one. I love Fall.

Please don't force me to choose, @stevieb -- I'm so ready for fall, I'll take both!

I love the second space. It is so simple, and beautiful. It is very pleasing to the eye.

Love both of them. Fall is my favorite season.

I like them both! If I had to choose I'd pick the first one since I prefer more color. Love the autumn season and colors. 🍁

They're both nice and pretty but I would replace the decor in #2 with what's in #1 but scaled down considerably.

The first is overdone and cluttered. The second is under done with the pumpkins and flowers being disproportionate in size to the fireplace and space.

Both settings are beautiful and so relaxing to look at. Even though I think I prefer the first photo - the setting blends more with the great outdoors, I like the colorful fall decorations and stonework and the lighter color wood, and I especially like that the roof is (or appears to be) solid thus providing protection from the sun and weather - I would be happy to sit and have a cup of coffee in both places.

@stevieb Thank you for your posts. I enjoy reading them on many of the subjects on the boards.
