CONNECTICUT LIVING ROOM AND KITCHEN

Oznell · ‎11-08-2014

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.
