Re: SOUTH CAROLINA LIVING ROOM

Way too busy for my taste. Some designers say you should have one focal point in a room which goes along with my thinking.

Re: SOUTH CAROLINA LIVING ROOM

I don't use pastels much in my home, but I like the traditional yet comfortable feeling in this room.

The table is gorgeous! I like the wall color, artwork, and drapes too. Would prefer matching fabric on the chairs, and I would swap the beaded chandelier for something different.

I could be comfortable and happy to sit, read, or talk in the warmth and colors in this room. Would prefer different lamps and less blue and white pottery.

Re: SOUTH CAROLINA LIVING ROOM

I really appreciate this style of decorating, as I will admit I belong to the more is more club.  Except for my bathrooms, all my walls are painted off-white.  Who was it who said "The way to love life is to enjoy many things" or something on that vein?  I guess that is me.

Re: SOUTH CAROLINA LIVING ROOM

I like this home very much and I love the room with the cushy leather chair by the fireplace. There is not much I dislike except the first bedroom with the matching spread and drapes which, to me, are too busy . I would lie awake at night trying to figure out what to do with the room. But that would not be a hard chore as the rest of the home is so calming and pleasing.

Re: SOUTH CAROLINA LIVING ROOM

No, not a fan.  The rooms have too many too delicate pieces to be attractive to me.  I think the space needs more substantial furniture and pieces of decor.

 

All that little, too delicate for the space stuff makes the room seem nervous to me.  Needs some things to tie down the space and make an impact, plus be more comfortable.  Doesn't need to be less formal, just less fiddly.

Re: SOUTH CAROLINA LIVING ROOM

The framed yellow picture looks similar to wallpaper that I think I have seen before; wondering if it is a large piece of wallpaper that was cut and framed.  I like that idea.  I have done that with gift-wrapping paper that I like a lot - cut a scene from the paper and framed it.

Like how the designer did the real plants with the framed plant pictures, creating an interesting effect:

Nice fabric design on the back of the blue chair.  Unusual table design with the three steps, next to the leather chair.

The large heavy planters on the dining room table seem so impractical and in the way.

Re: SOUTH CAROLINA LIVING ROOM

Love all of it, except for the room with the dark chocolate walls.  That's not my taste but the room looks nicely done otherwise.  The yellow room is such a pretty shade of yellow, love that choice.
