Looking for suggestions for chairs for my LR
Comments (13)cam - This room has had several arrangements and right now, this is the one that seems most welcoming. I agree that the rug could be larger, but it's a fairly recent purchase and will have to do for now. ellen - I do recall now, your mentioning that you have the same fabric. I guess it's the plaid that won't die. tex - The wall color is SW Blonde. pal - I have considered reupholstering and perhaps should think about that again. If I did that, tho, I would keep only one chair and eliminate the skirt. I would still need to figure out what kind of fabric and what color to use, which brings me back to my original question. I still have this vision of a leather chair in there and can't get it out of my head!...See MoreLR progress + rug questions
Comments (15)The artwork in the hall is really cool and the best part is you can say you did it yourself! The colorful shelves detract from the art. The shelves are great but should be moved away from the art. Having the mirror in the foyer will pick up some of the rustic brown in the art and the juxtaposition of the modern art with the quaintness of the mirror will give an eclectic look. The plants will look better if you group them. Slide the purple one over to the left a bit, and place the planter from the window on the right next to it. Move the planter in the left window to the right just a tiny bit so it is not centered in the window. The white shadowbox would look better on a wall. Maybe it can be grouped with the color shelves near the door, if you try that new arrangement? No matter what, it is too big for the pillar. The red cradle looks out of place. If you wish to add more color to the new coffee table arrangement, try adding something like cut-out designs under the glass top when you place it on top of the triangle tables in the hourglass shape. Don't go too wild though. You already have a lot of patterns going on in the room. Do you have enough material from left over from making your new curtains to cut out and place under the glass on the tables? Cut two triangles and lightly place some glue at the corners. You don't want to slop glue on the entire thing. Just enough to keep it from slipping. Doing this might link the LR and DR and maybe your DH won't think it looks Ikea if it had a fabric top under the glass? It might be even better to take the extra yardage from the curtains and give it a dye bath of deep purple. A dye bath of deep purple, will only really color the white part and the gray will still look gray. The pattern is still there but more subtle and still matches the new dining room curtains and brings it all together. Have you ever done purple dye using onion skins? Now I hope you do not get offended but I really think that the back cushions should come off of the window seats. The are too purple, too shiny and too big and puffy for that dainty window seat. They make the window seat look like a 'purple people eater'. Maybe you can pile the pillows on the floor somewhere like next to the plant against the wall for extra, casual seating or for when children visit and there isn't enough room for everyone to be seated. Just having the purple seat cushions brings enough purple color into the room for balance. I think the window will look more open and airy without the back cushions. The purple chair is so gorgeous. I just love it. It has a textured pattern to it and I think a plain light colored pillow with dark piping would look good and not detract from the beautiful 3-D texture the chair has. The print pillow detracts from the beauty of the chair texture. Put the little print pillow on the couch. Put the large print pillow on the window seat. Add a plain purple pillow to the couch - something with fabric of a different texture than the couch like velvet. Add a light colored, medium sized pillow to the window seat - something light and airy....See MoreNeed a LR Rug...Please?
Comments (14)Thank you daisychain and rita! Finallyhome, it's almost a year old. I cannot use the vacuum on anything other than minimum suction and cannot use power roll or the dust canister fills up with a couple of strokes. So, I'm vacuuming a couple times a week because I get rug dust balls all over the surrounding wood floors, behind and under furniture. I found enough fluff under the sofa to make two cats this week!...See MoreLR Side Table, Rug and Counter Stool Suggestions Please
