So very impractical.  For a room that is supposed to have a function.

Overblown ideas of "designer" appeal.  Called a "conceit".  I do not like this one.

@Sweetbay magnolia-

I find this about many "designer" rooms lately in magazines and houses.

As if its for the designer and his/her ego rather than something to live in. 

A  lot of it seems coldly modern, no warmth or blah all over "neutral

colors, sharp angles, or not appealing colors.

Even while in an office, I looked at Southern Living and was surprised how cold and modern some of the rooms were.

Right, @on the bay.  Form and function can perform together.  That's the essence of design.

I really love that first view, but the last two pics don’t even look like the same room.

I do love it except the picnic table as the dining room table. You're so right @lolakimono the different angles really give it a whole different perspective. At first glance I hadn't realized it was a picnic table. Very uncomfortable 😣 

I too, love when you post these! TY!

I agree with others - love the first pic, really don't like the second and third one.  I also agree with the folks who have said they love these types of pics.  Thank you @lolakimono, I really enjoy all your pics even though I don't usually comment on them

Yes, I like it

@lolakimono, interesting!  I love the colors.  Very restful.  I don’t like the red lighting.  I would have gone soft yellow.  

Having said that, this is a room I would pass through but not stay in but that is because of the furniture.  LM

My opinion is go one way or the other, but putting the two together is just yuck.

I prefer the monochromatic look over the bright colors, but either one on it's own is appealing, just don't mix them!
