LIVING ROOM - Page 2

Oznell, you have such a discerning eye and excellent taste.

I love the curtainless windows. There is no such thing as too much light for me.

If I could have anything there, it would be that travertine coffee table. It is just beautiful.

I liked the couch which due to the color is definitely fall. The light blue chair seems more suited to summer so would have liked the chair done in a deeper blue which would have coordinated a bit better.

It's all in the details - the leather box and two tone vase were lovely.

I would declutter a bit. I should take my own advice as I would do well to do so too.

@Oznell This is a nice living room and I appreciate the fact that it's not over done (close but not quite ),

Overall, it is too subtle for my tastes. I love the sofa but not the color. Green is definitely not a favorite of mine. I'm also not fond of the plaid on the chairs although it's a softer plaid than a lot of them. I had a plaid sofa for years and was sooooo happy to get rid of it a few years ago. The buffalo check on the pillows is not really a print I care for either. The windows are gorgeous but I'd definitely want window treatments.

Thanks again for posting these...it really is appreciated!

Oh Yes! The colors are serene, calm, and inviting.

You could easily change a few things decor wise for Christmas, Spring, and Summer to change the vibe of the room...Love it!

@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 Me too. The whole room, furnishings, are beyond drab. I don't think I could stand to sit in that space more than 5 minutes.

I like the room, but all the furnishings would have to go, including the pic and tree. Then I'd start over. Love the french doors, but all windows and doors would need coverings.

In a word.....blah.

I think it's beautiful! I'd be comfortably happy there.

Beautiful bones.

Beautiful accent pieces.

Love the color of the sofa and the plaid on the chairs, but not the sofa's style or the style of the chairs.

That lamp!! I love a wood lamp, and PLEASE tell me that those lampshades are coming back already! I am not a fan of the drum shades.

I like the picture over the mantel but not fond of the "leaning agains the wall" style of display. Same goes for mirrors and step-style shelving. Nope.

That coffee table is not something that I would normally choose, but I like it!

I could only live with the windows/doors beig completely uncovered if the house was in the middle of several wooded acres. Don't like living in a fishbowl! I like light, but would gently shirr some white sheers top to bottom.

Vases of thistle and allium....5 stars!

@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!

@Oznell Thank you, Oznell.

I like the room, but as @Sooner wrote, the furnishings are dark and gloomy. In my mind, I'm Imagining how beautiful it could be.

Single sofa cushions flip up on the ends when people sit on them and crawl around when they get up. And chairs with metal tubes for arms? Who wants to sit there. I would far rather be in an armless chair.
