@NickNack, I’m with you on the tufted sofa.  No like.

 

Also, white/beige sofa, been there done that.  Never again.  People were afraid to sit on it.  LM

I think Ethan Allen isn't what it once was in design (and probably quality too, if it is like everything else made today). I prefer the pieces I bought 'back in the day' to much of what I see today from them.

I only noticed gray in two of the photos.  Am I missing something? I wouldn't like having a lot of gray in my house at all.  I can't think of a single gray item in my house actually.

 

Thirty years ago I had gray walls and gray carpet.  It was that way when I moved in.  I'll never have that again.

Like the coffee table in photo #1 very much--a nice combination of wood and metal.

 

If that top on the table actually  is not wood, I still like it!

Not a fan of neutral rooms.  These look cold and boring to me with the exception of the green and white room.  Really like the chair.  I still would have to add another element of color to the room.  Maybe not an all white sofa but one in a green/white print that would coordinate with the chair and then another chair incorporating green, white and what ever third color was added to the room.  The right shade of pink or peach would work for me as would a touch of black

I like them especially the green and white room. However since I've always had cats and always will these rooms aren't practical for us.

I like some elements of gray in a house - but it can easily be overdone.

I like the first room very much. Had white furniture and wouldn't want to repeat that again - too hard to keep clean and had it covered most of the time.

We're selling our house and have been looking at homes (new and resale) and gray is being used everywhere here, and especially in the newly built homes. As a matter of fact, one home caught our eye that has dark and light grays as well as a carpet in a taupy tan with the walls also a lighter taupe.  Because these are the newer colors I've been seeing out there, I decided to comment when I saw the two pictures....Woman Happy
