Comments (24)Melrose your instincts are all good. I especially like your first two pillows with either of the combinations above it. As a scuba diver, the first one speaks to me of the strange and beautiful undersea world without screaming anemone. I like that your references aren't too literal. Trust your eye and choose what appeals to you....See MoreGood idea to swap my family room with my living rooms?
Comments (10)May I ask just what is a "servery" and what does one do in a "conservatory"? You must not be in the US. It looks to me that the current family room has easier access to the kitchen than does the current dining room. That would be a plus for doing what you want to do. As of the floor plan, it looks entirely doable and it makes sense to reverse the use of the two rooms. It looks to be awkward to carry food service all the way around and down the hall to the current dining area. If you have servants, that might make sense. Since most of don't have any such, it makes sense to have the dining area adjacent to the kitchen. Most people don't even use the more formal dining areas of their homes, except at holidays. The modern sensibility is that most little used areas of that nature just amount to wasted space. So, if you spend more time gathered with friends than gathered around a more formal dining area, make that change....See MorePlease help! Coastal Farmhouse Living Room??
Comments (3)Nicole, what direction do the windows face -- north, south, east, west? I think your third inspiration picture is lovely and also the easiest to follow. The wall color, white fireplace, and adding crown molding are all fairly easy changes; the paint color in that photo is SW Agreeable Gray. Of course, it depends how much light your living room gets, because that inspiration room looks as if it gets lots of natural light, in part because it has windows on at least two different walls. What's harder is your sofa. Have you noticed that the sofas in your inspiration pics all have white slipcovers or are a very very light tan/beige? So if you're committed to keeping the couch, you're already losing a major element and there's a good chance the style will be off from the start. I'm not sure if you know, but that inspiration picture is from this IG, https://www.instagram.com/bluebarnandcottage/ More on the house here, http://www.homebunch.com/beautiful-homes-of-instagram-50/ The blog post has lots of details for the living room, from paint colors to sources for the rugs to how they did the fireplace....See MoreTaupe sofa in coastal living room?
Comments (3)It really depends on the other elements in the room, but if you're wondering if that color says "coastal", then yes, it does. Think of the shades in aged driftwood....See MoreMallorie C
