keep the lamps? and curtains? tell me?
Comments (15)Wow what great comments EVERYONE thank you. So at least the overwhelming consensus was yes to the drapes... I agree that the nightstands might look really nice in a lighter color but I am a lousy painter to begin with, and these are sort of a laminate wood tone. There is also a matching headboard which I have removed, and a triple dresser with mirror which is on the wall to the left of the bed(opposite the double window wall). DH bought this set in about 1975 from one of those wholesale dump places for probably $150. It is strong and indestructible, though not real wood, and in my opinion, very gaudy 70's mediterranea style. But it works and is solid and has LOTS of drawer space. I have thought about getting something different but to be honest I just kind of don't focus on it. It was actually our bedroom set for the first 10 years or so of our marriage. So I guess the lamps are not bad, but definitely not a clear cut great. I will likely keep looking. They were at TJMaxx and were 29.99 each. I may think about putting one in my daughter's room and then I may just return both. I do like the idea of painting the room a paler ( I am guessing MUCH paler) version of the drapes... this really is so wonderful because I really have no one to ask these questions- so I thank you so much. I had been looking for a long time for duvet or comforter set, and found this at HOMegoods and really like it with the white sheets and accents. (notice a theme here? TJMaxx, Homesgoods, etc etc$$ Thank you again- I am going to think about all your comments, and look for some nice curtain rods/poles for the drapes....See Morewhite walls- part 3 ?
Comments (6)Loribee- Thank you. I am so glad you like it. I love your home. Thanks too for the website for the rug! Someone else here suggested the same site. I love the rug. The seagrass is not at all scratchy- just firm, if that makes sense... kjmama- Thanks! Yes that is the new seagrass rug....See MoreLiving room help in a rental!
Comments (5)I'm into the farmhouse look with mostly neutrals but am not afraid to add color - I love grey/white/beige colors but don't want to spend a lot which is why I'm trying to use what I've already got - which is more tan and brown in this room so far. I'm mostly just having trouble finding what would go well with the furniture I have currently to make it cohesive. Open to any suggestions!...See MoreSmall space- need curtains and lamps?
Comments (1)what is the sofa facing? there is a better layout for this room. and really if you plan to buy new, i wouldnt invest too much into lamps etc until you are ready to do it all. i wouldnt even put curtains on the window to the right of the fireplace its too crammed. a nice blind or roman shade there what would brighten this room is an area rug that would lighten up the space a lot....See Moretorreykm
