I actually prefer the before. It’s not perfect, but it has more personality. The after is too bland and grey. I love the horse artwork!

I was gonna say the same thing about preferring the before better.

@wilma  I kinda agree with you.  I do like the light coming in but I've never cared for long heavy curtains.

 

I have 6 over 9 windows (almost to floor) and in most of the rooms I have stained wood and wooden venetian blinds some stained some not.

 

Curtains only in Bay window across it, see through curtain.

@lolakimono   LOL, I thought this was going to be another Lisa Robertson thread!  Whew, what a relief.

 

In the first set, I prefer the before but I'd add some touches of bright color.  The print in the chairs is interesting but drab.

The first one says dungeon and depressing to me.  I like the re-do a lot, but then I love blue and simple.  Like me--simple!
