Re: CHICAGO APARTMENT LIVING ROOM

Other than the wall color and big windows, I don't care for anything in this room.

Re: CHICAGO APARTMENT LIVING ROOM

The pale blue walls are pretty and do enhance the room.  I prefer a Wedgewood blue color, however.  I do love the lilac couch and the spacious room but do not care for anything else in the room especially the covered table.

Re: CHICAGO APARTMENT LIVING ROOM

I don't care for this room.  I think the lavender couch is cool in a funky, "Friends" kind of way, and since I love elephants, I like that table.

 

Unfortunately, the rest is a no.

Re: CHICAGO APARTMENT LIVING ROOM

Woman FrustratedTranquil? I suppose. But, it almost appears as though she was going for a seaside vibe. Hate the chairs. The elephant table in rattan looks ridiculous in Chicago; more suited to FL, CA or HI. The pattern on the chair facing the lavendar couch looks tropical as do some other touches. The black/white lamp appears hopelessly out of place and the rug is not appealing or classy as downtown Chicago would call for. All in all, I would call this a fail. Only redeeming feature is the sofa and possibly the wall color. Is that wallpaper in the far wall? Again, not suitable for Chicago.  However, I do love the overhead light fixtures.

Re: CHICAGO APARTMENT LIVING ROOM

I like the windows, the wall color and the flooring, but none of the furniture or lighting. I would change it all. But it is a very nice space!

A lovely room.  Except for the furniture and decor.

We all seem to agree the light fixtures need to go. Otherwise, it's a nice space.

Re: CHICAGO APARTMENT LIVING ROOM

The whole room just doesn't flow well for me.  I'd probably have to gut it and start over.  I do like the sofa but not the color.  I also really like the wicker elephant end table but I don't think it belongs in the room.

Re: CHICAGO APARTMENT LIVING ROOM

I like the wall color and floor, but I'm not a fan of the furnishings or accessories. Just not my style. I do like the rattan elephant end table though!

Re: CHICAGO APARTMENT LIVING ROOM

The room is well done, but not my taste.

I do like the walls, and I see what might be an Oriental Chippendale chair.
