Re: WHAT DO U THINK ABOUT THIS LIVING ROOM?

I like it.  I see there is no sofa, just chairs.  I suppose that makes more sense unless you like to lay down on a sofa which I never do.

Re: WHAT DO U THINK ABOUT THIS LIVING ROOM?

I like the seating arrangement for 4, but no place to set a glass down.

 

The oversized ottoman in the middle is useless.  I'd be tempted to pull it over and put my feet up.  I like to be comfortable, if I'm going to be seated for a while in converstation!

 

Although I love Doris Day blue walls, it doesn't sit well in this room.

 

What I dislike the most is the lanterns in the fireplace, I just don't like lightweight tinny lanterns that you can buy at even a CVS now.  They looks so cheap.

I think this is the LR of someone I know and I have been in this room.

It's a pretty room and the color combination is interesting.  For me to like it even better, I think a darker wood table in the middle of the chairs would warm it up just enough.

It's just "okay" for me.  I don't like the pastel painted around the fireplace....something about the room feels like a little girl's tea party to me.

Re: WHAT DO U THINK ABOUT THIS LIVING ROOM?

I do like the furniture and the built in shelves, the fireplace is appealing.  However, I do not care for some of the decor, the piece above the mantel, the lamp, not a fan of the rug and the decor on the shelves not appealing.  As far as the ottoman I would leave that area empty.

My favorites in the room are the built-in's, lighting and the fireplace.  The ottoman is a bit loud - would love to see that in a solid color.  The throw pillows have the pattern and for me, that's enough Smiley Happy

Re: WHAT DO U THINK ABOUT THIS LIVING ROOM?

It's very pretty and cheerful.  However, I agree about having a painting above the fireplace instead of the white star burst thing.  Also, it's kind of one note.  All the furnishings - the chairs -- seem to be exactly the same style and the exact same color.  And how about getting rid of a couple of the chairs and putting in a small, comfy sofa with a different color that adds some pizazz??
