Studio McGee showcased this living room as bringing in  some of their newer fall tones and materials.  To me it's not so much overtly "fall", but maybe quietly so, and is cozy.

Pretty rug with subdued colors, and I love the couch...

Like the checks, the woven vase, the imperfect whimsy of the beaded bowl-- unexpected.

Cozy plaids on the occasional chairs.  Nice to see dark wood in a relatively modern room.  Those unexpected arched doors are another graceful nod to tradition here...

Let's hone in on a few details--

Their yummy olive velvet couch makes me so nostalgic for the green velvet one I had, eons ago.  But I like the sleek yet inviting-looking McGee couch even better...  Shea McGee has said that she far prefers the single cusion seat on a couch-- she says it is more comfortable.  I think I see that--  your thoughts?  As long as it is reversible--  I like to reverse cushions to prolong wear.

The strong simplicity of the wood lamp, the texture of a leather box, the delicacy of a two-toned glass vase holding spiky florals....

Up close with the lamp.  Nice iron touches with the wood:

Travertine coffee table brings in beautiful natural stone...

The cool tones of this comfy chair, artfully combined with the warm tones of the throw and pillow...  I like the deeply scored, hefty indoor/outdoor side table which adds an organic feeling...

This art photography of a rocky cove on a wild coast, over the mantel, love.   Establishes many of the colors of the room, no?

If I'm quibbling,  I'd have the shelves a little less populated-- other than that, love.  Feels like a "happy" room to me.

Too many pillows.

Very nice and comfy and easy on the eyes----quiet is the perfect word to describe it

No.  Would replace all of the furnishings.

@Oznell - I like this room, and while it doesn't scream fall, it does convey the changing season.  I would tweak a few accent pieces, but overall I would like spending time there.  The one thing that stood out to me immediately, was the lack of window coverings.  Maybe it is because of having lived in the city my whole life, but I need something on the windows. 

As for the single seat cushion, I don't think I ever had a couch with a single one, always one that had two cushions  that were reversible.

Thanks for posting these pictures.

It's a beautiful room.  I usually love their designs.

I would make 2 minor changes, the artwork above the fireplace and the lamp.

soft, subtle, subdued...a very comfortable environment.  I love the bones...the windows inviting the outdoors in and the arched doorways.

I LOVE this room! Love it!  The only thing I would change is the style of the sofa and I would get rid of the two ottomans.  I agree about having separate seat cushions on the sofa, preferrably three.  Also agree about a little less on the book shelves.  Really love that room though!  👍👍

@Sooner  I tend to agree. The room has great bones, wonderful doors and windows and a few nice fabrics, but while it has a certain 'handsome' appeal this overall aesthetic is simply not for me.

@stevieb Nothing in the room looks welcoming or says "sanctuary" to me.   As is, it looks uncomfortable and dark and gloomy--but yes the room itself looks wonderful!
