I still have my parents 1960 chair identical to the first photo chair in the far left. Real wood, made in the USA. Perfect condition. Fits in perfectly with my cottage decor.

Pic 1 - too stark

Pic 2 - colors blend well (I would go with softer colors)

Pic 3 - LOVE the white walls with the very calming blue niches

These remind me of basement re-dos and I’m not saying that is an all bad thing.

 

The woods would not be something I could use in a living area. The bumped-in niches are clever but romper roomish to me. The rooms feel cold to me.

 

Elements that are appealing to me: Quilted sofa (red); prints used in the red room; the primary color lights; black wire frame furniture... I love the playful, converted-warehouse feel of the elements in the red room. This reminds me of apartment decorating back in the 70’s.

 

Some elements in the white room appeal to me too. The horse (yes); the bentwood red chair; and again, the prints which echo Meramekko prints popular in the day.
