Wow! Thanks a million for the feedback! it's priceless. Being that the photo is very underexposed due to lighting conditions(which btw i installed dimmers on the fan). thanks again. torreykm: color vs muted..if we go with color i would like to compliment the rug since its so close and muted; it's probably our safer choice. But we are open to suggestions. I like the curtains below. However, for some reason the white looked a bit plain when I installed mine. Yet, the whites you showed me here do have some nice patterns/designs. Where can I look into buying the curtain below? I really like this one. ingrid_vc so/always1: At first i thought about the same thing; round, glass and metal to make the room look bigger/small rug issue. But then I think about how delicate a glass table can be and how it sort of takes away from the cozy. But I suppose I can have it all with a small space :) aprilneverends: I am aboard with the "texture in the space", "more texture more interesting" and embrace your valid toddler analogy. My only issue is the size and perhaps it can dwarf the living room space. But my gut feeling says that the table is so nice that it won't matter. With respect to staying with the color scheme, I can always entertain the accent suggestions. Yet, we will prefer nothing flamboyant; yes we do have botanical motives. Perhaps behind/around the wicker basket area. One thing I forgot to mention is that the windows behind the verticals is a sliding door. So we would like to keep it not to busy in case I need to access my BBQ on the porch :) voila: Thanks for the comment. I promise to post a correctly exposed picture soon( as well as the end result). My wife has travels the world and has beautiful photography which we plan to mount on a large canvas to put behind the sofa. I will try to also include a panoramic view of the living space which included the dinning area where we have a nice florida/coastal style painting. lastly, thanks the curtains in JCpenny look very nice and matches our colors. I was thinking about a turquoise color as well. I will be making a stop today to look at curtains in persons as well as possibly buying the first coffee table on here by the end of the day if I don't come across any others. Keep the feedback coming. Cheers Rob

Thank you!! Traditional style furniture. Furniture in living room will be a grey beige sectional with some of the seats butting up against the three large windows. Dining table will be dark wood with a farmhouse style chandelier. Flooring will be a brown engineered hardwood. Paint color is a light greige color. Windows will not have trim.

Hi Danielle, I'm Poorvi. I have created a mock-up of your room to help you visualize better. Like you stated, I have added a chandelier, art above the couch and a large bookshelf in the corner of the room. I wouldn't crowd the place too much. Adding swivel chairs would be a great move if you want this room to function as an entertainment center (to watch tv), a conversation space, or a library. I placed a sideboard in the dining and also a crockery unit(can be ignored if it isn't necessary). Add rugs in both areas to pull the space together. For wall: I have used SW Pineapple Cream to compliment all the wooden elements in the room. Let me know if you want me to work on more color and layout.

I favor traditional furnishings too! I would go with a hand made, hand-knotted Persian carpet every time. Even if it doesn't have your stated preferred colors, a Persian carpet will fit in every decor, and many of the Persian carpets do have more subtle colorways. For example Nain, and Isfahan. Just keep your eyes peeled, and don't be in a rush to buy. Quality in craftsmanship is most important in a handmade, hand-knotted Persian carpet. Don't settle for a cheap imitation. These days the market in Persian carpets has sunk to abysmal lows. That is great for the American buyer.
