Too much to have two areas of the house in similar colors?
Comments (5)I certainly hope it's not too much, since most of our rooms are painted a custom green, or else various shades of yellow or red. If you think it is the "perfect color," then it is----for you! I would absolutely paint your bedroom the color that you love....See MoreTwo antler chandeliers in a home too much of a good thing?
Comments (35)Thanks so much everyone for the great responses. bobo - I wish I had pictures! The great room is chock full of items we're storing due to the remodel, so that won't help, but the existing chandy is over a very nice mahogany pool table. The layout of the front entry is loosely based on my inspiration photo below (which is more country, I know, but it's what I love). Our entry will be wider, and will have double front doors almost exactly like the pic posted below except they will also have a 10' wide custom transom above the doors and sidelights, and will be stained a deep, warm brown. These doors are very rustic, but fit the exterior of the house perfectly. I plan on using a hutch, grandfather clock, etc., in the space (and maybe even the stacked oval boxes, if I can get away with it). The floors will either be wood as in the pic or similar to the stone in our kitchen, also shown below. The arch between the entry and great room may have pillars and a beam in the same stain as the front door. Uxorial - I really like your chandelier and love your log home! Auntjen - your antler chandelier is obviously very special, since your father made it for you. I'd love to see it. kitchendetective - Arte de Mexico has a store very close by and they do have wonderful items. Their furniture is beautiful although perhaps a bit more rustic than the style I'm looking for (I'm more of a country farm table and hutch person), I did notice they had great lighting choices. It's been awhile so I'll have to visit the store again. littledog and okmoreh - you said exactly what I meant to say! I want my home to be decorated in the style my dh and I find appealing - elegant rustic meets early American country (he's the rustic and I'm the country!) but don't necessarily want to decorate in objects that labeled a definitive style. It's easy to cross the line and get "campy" with rustic decorating - which can be fun but not the look I'm aiming for :) I do find antler chandeliers done right to be beautiful pieces of sculpture, so hopefully I'm on the right track! To those of you who commented on Premier's statement - I wasn't offended in the slightest as reading his/her comments on other posts over the last few months caused me to immediately disregard his/her post on this thread!

Comments (11)I found this quilt that has a minecraft vibe and I think would look great with the walls, and it could age with him. The bedroom isn't huge though, 10.5'x14.5' so I wonder if the black will be too dark? The room gets tons of light, but I can't decide if the bedspread would make the bed seem like a black hole or not. He wants this one, which I do think is cute, but not so timeless: Either way I could se them with some minecraft wall art or decals: Then some decorative storage like this cube organizer: I'm not one to decorate, shop a lot or change things up much, so the main elements of a room need to be able to stand the test of time. He's begging for minecraft stuff right now, but 6 months ago it was pac-man....See MorePillows to match area rug/ need to add color to the room
Comments (9)Getting the right combination of cushions is not easy - mixing patterns, solids, textures, shapes and sizes. It may take a few shopping trips and bring home a few and try them out. Suggest not trying too hard to mimic rug and being safe, as walls and couch are so similar, room needs some punch and be sure to layer. If you accessorize the tv wall, the room will feel more layered as well....See Morebirdkkk
