CONNECTICUT LIVING ROOM AND KITCHEN

Oznell — Sat, 13 Apr 2024 17:22:33 GMT

Both of these rooms in this Connecticut house by Charlotte Barnes struck me as so cozy and liveable. What do you think of the living room's wrap-around windows? While they might be hard to curtain, it still is a great way to bring in natural light. Would you do simple shades in this case?

Seemingly not a large kitchen, but cute--

I would do tie top panels and push them to each side of the window and not waste a drop of sunlight!

That starburst would be on it's way out!

I love the windows and I would only shade them, probably the bamboo shades I really like those. I agree cozy, I would add more color, but still I really like this cottage or house.

@Oznell Amazingly, I actually like everything about this place. I agree with simple shades, I don't like curtains.

And I love the kitchen light fixtures. Light fixtures are the one thing I am extremely picky about and these are great.

I would get rid of that sunburst thing above the fireplace as I can't stand those.

Not feeling the Living Room at all, but absolutely loving the Kitchen ♥

Both are cute and cozy but both areas need a little more pattern and color to add some visual interest and make them even cozier.

I love the windows and would put sheer curtains on them, I do not care for the furniture but the room itself is lovely.

I love both of these rooms! And that fireplace!

I would also do shades on the windows.
Beautiful rooms.

I like the look of the windows but do not like the lack of privacy with no window covering.

I think your idea of shades is a good one. Shades would offer privacy and keep the room cooler when it's hot and sunny.

I love the kitchen...looks big to me, but then it's huge compared to mine! LOL! With the living room, I love those windows (no curtains!) but there's something about that big dark fireplace that doesn't do a thing for me. The furniture looks fine and cozy, but the fireplace...hmmm. It's not for me.

Love the room and the windows. I'd need a professional to help with window treatments. We don't pull our living room shades all the way down. The house is far enough back from the road so I'm not too concerned.

I love the windows and would not put up curtains or shade.

Beautiful fireplace but I don't care for whatever decoration is on top (mirror?)

I like the white windowseat but don't care for any of the other furniture.

The kitchen is gorgeous.

Thank you @Oznell

Oh, I like this. When can I move in?

My sister has the wrap-around windows in her kitchen. I've always envied that.

I'm not a big fan of cozy, so no to the living room but the little kitchen is ok. If I have a window, it has plantation shutters. No curtains.

The living room needs more color to suit me. I love the space though. I'd use shades that can be adjusted depending on the time of day. I don't like those starburst wall hangings. I like the kitchen, but not the print on the chairs.
