Parma!! So great to see you-- but darn, are you back already???? I hope not!! Well the rug is partially on the floor. (Hiding face in shame). I need some assistance and/or some of those moving disks. I am still nervous about putting the rug down with sick dogs but hell, the rug IS for the floor afterall, no? Only slight progress with the chairs.. well it isnt really progress but the field has been reduced by one option. One of the chairs I was looking at has been discontinued (sound familiar). I am leaning towards the chairs that I think you liked.. they are from hickory white and slightly french and more rustic/simple in style. (it is the drexel heritage chair that is discontinued) I am looking for someone who has it in their showroom though as I want to sit in it. I also still like the mandarin club chairs from gumps but I dont really want to add more leather or more dark color. The pillow sounds lovely-- velvet is my weakness. Love the oranges and greens too. The orange in the rug is *very* muted but I do intend to being in small orange accents. Great to see you-- and thanks for your input!

Begin with FORGETTING about the floral curtains which are not farm or modern or anything but busy.. Post a photo of the entire room please .

Can you scoot out a bit and re-take a photo of the entire room? Maybe we could tell after that. Is that a removable fireplace/TV stand? Seems like the couch is too big for the room. At the bare minimum, the ottoman should go and shoot for a slim low console. What colors do you tend to like? You will need some texture in the room.

Thank you! I absolutely love the pillow in your photo. We’re in a condo so furniture placement is tricky. The bookshelf is temporary - we have a toddler and needed something that could attach to the wall and was out of the way. Regarding curtains, that is one thing my husband feels strongly about - he absolutely hates fabric curtains of any kind (even the stack of fully open Roman blinds is too much for him to handle). Our compromise was simple off white linen blend roller shades, those should get delivered in the coming week. Here’s the whole space:
