I like both of the blue paint colors, they read "masculine" and really bring out the deep jewel tones in the rug. I'm partial to the first one but I'm not sure what they look like IRL, of course. Sorry, I don't see warm tones, or pillows, or baby pictures in this room. I think a stripe in navy blue, hunter green and/or burgundy might be nice for the drapes. I think the hunting prints would be a more interesting grouping if they included one or two matted prints, maybe an old sepia tone, to change things up. I'm racking my brain trying to remember where I saw it, but a pair of round footstool/coffee tables would be more useful and practical than one of either IMO. Ditch the drapes, and the wrought iron piece (love the art poster idea). I'm not sure about the chandelier, I think I would use ivory shades. Maybe a dart game, with the appropriate cork-lined case that would open to protect the walls. A cigar cutter and ashtray on the end table. Brandy snifters and cognac on the bar. I would want a (pocket?) door installed, so that I didn't have to be disturbed by the lions den goings on, that's just me. If the man reads, he'll want a better lamp and a sturdy bookshelf, if he's a music lover, he'll need space for a stereo too.

After the comment box there is a heading Browse Gardening and Landscaping Stories on Houzz with some gorgeous pictures of a deck, etc. There are also photos on the right. They're there all the time, and I don't pay any attention, they sure don't bother me.

<I have no interest in being around noisy sports fans - they are the worst. My, so judgmental.> There is nothing judgmental about it - that is simply what annoys me the most - therefore they are the worst for me, but that is not a judgement. There is nothing wrong with them, but I just do not want to be anywhere near them. My being annoyed by them is not a judgment. I have friends who can be noisy sports fans, and I will not be around them when they are watching sports. In general, I prefer a calm environment. When I was a child, my father would drag me to rodeos with him, and these would offend me so much that I would cry constantly. Eventually, he stopped dragging me with him.

The FIRST thing I see is a circle of wavy lines that look like they are supposed to be moving, but they don't. Then I see the numbers 528 quite plainly. Then more numbers on either side, that I have to really squint to make out. Rusty
