Let's play avesmor's game again - Do these rooms work and why?
Q
Comments (24)
I think they both work overall, but there are issues with both. To me,the first room works pretty well at first glance. But when you take a longer look, I think there are a couple of issues. It looks like a room that a 'real person' decorated, using things they had in part. The chair shape is great, but the fabric on the chair is wrong for the room. Not because of the print, but because it is done in 'dirty' colors (and actually, looks like an old chair),a fact the pillows on it highlight. Were the chair done in a white duck or a lime and turquoise stripe, it would be fine. The rug is again a 'dirty' color, more olive; a plain cream or white rug, or a colorful large scale modern print, would do more for the space. I love the READ on the wall, because I believe the framed pieces are favorite books (one is Eric Carle's "The very busy spider"). But I guess that to me would be better on another wall, near a reading chair or beanbag in a kid's room, and a bookshelf. Then again, if the child is a voracious reader, nothing wrong with celebrating that fact! The second room is fine, except for the fact that all the color weight is low in the space, and the lampshade disappears against the wall and looks awkward with the little built-in above. Instead of the lamp on the night stand, I would have hung reading lights of some kind centered above each headboard, done in brass (for the nautical feel) with lampshades in a print with deep blue (no stripes to compete with the beadboard) or a solid dark blue. It also looks like the rug is running in the wrong direction for the pattern. I would have also preferred to mix up the decorative pillows on each bed, so they weren't matching but complimentary, but that is not a big deal.

Thank you all!!!!! At least you played and that's what counts. donna and eastender, those are fabulous choices and, well, really, they're facuet art! I hope you love them. Buffettgirl, I had a thought about you in the middle of the freakin night awhile back....too, funny. I DON'T sleep and random, thoughts just come into my mind. I had always thought you were "buffetgirl." Ya know, like the all you can eat Chinese buffet? Guess I thought that cause it was somewhat kitchen related. In the middle of the night it came to me that it is "BUFFETTgirl." I'm not kiddin. So now I assume you are a Jimmy Buffett fan and not an "all you can eat" fan. HA!!! My name is as it seems, I have six dogs and they whoop my butt on a daily basis. Thanks to you all for playing my game.

Who all likes to play Hidden Object games online?

If you join BigFish, you pay $6.99 a month for a game credit ... and can then buy any game you want at that price. (except for the Collector's Editions, those cost more) I like to save up a couple months and buy one of the bigger Hidden Object games *and* the STrategy Guide! Yep, the really tricky games like Ravenhurst and Return to Ravenhurst have Strategy Guides that will help you out when you get stuck. I've been a member 2 or 3 years now and their games are always safe. Every weekend I download the trial for games that have published in the last week. It's a wonderful feature that allows you to play free for an hour and decide whether the game is one you'd enjoy. I find that many of them are pretty darned lame and glad I didn't waste my $$ on them. And then there are the ones created in another country, where the storyline and clues are not written by someone whose English is a first language. LOL. Those can be entertaining just deciphering what the meaning is. (A peg turned out to be a clothespin). Oh, and BigFish has forums too ... where users can go to discuss a particular game and get assistance.
