Hi- To answer a few questions... Declansmom-I will try removing that vase on the right and place the larger coral...thanks for that suggestion! I think I will try to order the coral pillow...I actually have 2 of the darker cushions & I think colours are similiar. I also agree that mirrored doors will be too much...and I don't really want to see our reflections when watching TV:) kaisermust-The lamp on the side table was from Pottery Barn. Not sure if they still have these, but maybe you'd have some luck checking on ebay if not available in-store. (great concept-the 'top'portion of the lamp can be removing, just leaving a vase underneath) The other little ceramic lamp/light was purchased from a local home decor store. (I live just outside of TOronto) I think it was made by Abbott. You can't see the detail in the pics, but it has cut-out design that gives a very soft glow. abbottcollection.com (giftware wholesaler based in Toronto The table in that hall is now replaced w/ the 3 shelves. The light on the table was another purchase from a few years ago...another little store here in TO. kiko-Thanks for posting that picture! I love, love those chairs with the orange throws! Roseabbey/kiko-I think I'm going to try to find another home for the topiaries/urns. Although I do like the splash of green, I think I've decided that I'm not big on them in front of the cabinets. Once I add in some artwork, it may just provide that extra hit of colour that is needed. (will be a couple of weeks before I receive my framed prints back...I can post another picture at that time) Next project...think I might take on painting the spindles a creamy white.(lead up to 3rd floor and down to main floor..ugh! Lots to do) Thanks again everyone for the nice comments! Lisa

Thanks for all the comments and ideas. The wood is very high quality and nicely done. So, I am a bit hesitant to paint over all of it! White curtains is a good idea to add some freshness and texture to the space. I’m not sure how we’d do that over the woodwork. Wallpaper in the entry is also an interesting idea. That could pretty. We definitely need to change the entryway light fixture! I’ll consider some of those some of those rug options. We have three little kids, so white probably won’t work.

trying to select a new area rug and throw pillows for family room. the room is approximately 12x20. The chairs have recently been reupholstered and ha a reptile texture. My decor style and accessories are eclectic along with English Fox hunt artwork in and near the family room. yhe windows need something (I have discarded the previous)would like a rug with black background. Does that work? can I incorporate any animal print? suggestions appreciated

Here's a layout for your room using your existing furniture. That seafoam green on your walls is not deep enough. Look to the pattern on your lounge chair for a better deeper olive color. Center your sideboard and mirror directly under your coffered ceiling for better placement.
