Recommendations for Design Ideas??
Comments (12)I love all these ideas, thank you all so much for the research. They all sound like ideas that would have broad appeal and friendly interpretation. I like designs that are beautiful and easy to understand. I don't care as much for odd-ball where you can't understand them easily. I will pass these along. I also love African violet art, though slightly off topic. If anyone has ideas of prints or cards, please email me off list joanne...See MoreGreat Family Room Potential - Design + Kid Friendly Sofas?
Comments (18)Pottery Barn has sofas with indoor-outdoor Sunbrella fabric, https://www.potterybarn.com/shop/new/sunbrella-feature I second those who've suggested starting good habits while kids are young -- teach them from the start how to treat furniture and the family belongings properly. And this is the time to start with rules like "no food or drinks in the living/family room"; and yes, it's perfectly fair to have one rule for the adults and another for the kids. Or you can limit what kind of food and drinks to allow kids -- when mine were young, it was water or apple juice only for them in the living room, no milk or grape/orange juice. Also, they grow fast : ) , so you don't really have to decorate around them too much (round ottomans vs. wood rectangular coffee table). I'd decorate for the room and with what you like. Buy quality the first time around. The arched fronts might be fairly easily removable. And I'd almost be tempted to have the builder drywall over the shelving above the arches....See Morecoffee table design help, please!
Comments (9)Two sofas 104" each? That's a lot of seating. I'm asking questions to help understand your needs for this room. Do you expect to have 6 or 8 adults on those sofas at the same time---often? Perhaps a traditional coffee table for one sofa and end tables for the other? Three smaller tables or ottomans that can be scooted to where someone needs them? Your room is 179" X 165"---not much room for end tables....See MoreAny design/decor suggestions for my fireplace?
Comments (10)I agree drywall over the TV thing and either get rid of the mantel or replace it with something much thicker . I happen to love MCM so that FP without the TV niche is perfect IMO. I do not think the interior of a house has to match the exterior but MCM architecture is my fave so I do the inside to match....See MoreHU-910663146
