It certainly is a somewhat glamorous and atmospheric space... I can't say I like it, but I do appreciate it and I don't dislike it...

that's a really inviting room.  i wouldn't necessarily want to live in it every day, but it would be wonderful to visit there every so often with a good book and a huge cup of coffee.

Re: I don't usually care for dark walls but

I really like the drama of it.  That's such an interesting color-- looks to have elements of brown and a little gray, the kind of color that can look different in different lights.

 

The only thing that doesn't appeal to me is the orbiting metal around the chandelier-- the kind of idea that sounds good on paper, but that in real life I believe I'd tire of, not to mention get tangled up in, perhaps.

 

The use of symmetry adds to the tranquillity of the cozy space-- what an alluring library this would be...

I remember when I painted one of my bedrooms with Restoration Hardware paint and also my living and dining room.  Excellent paint.  I no longer own the condo.  I have curtains and sheers from RH.  THeir furniture is too expensive for me.

It's beautiful, but I can totally see myself hitting my head on the light fixture.
