Paint Colors - Do you know the name of these colors? »

385meadowview Wow, glad I asked. The fireplace wall looked more green. What about the other two walls?
7 months ago ·
Robeson Design All The walls are the same color. I agree, it looks much greener than you would think. Thats why paint color are so important and not always that easy to select ;-) Rebecca

Penelope 48" Square Cocktail Table - I like the feel of the room and would love to find the Penelope 48" square cocktail table by Mandalay Furnishings... Do you have retailer information on who might distribute Mandalay Furniture to the public? Thanks! »

Robeson Design I'm sorry, I do not. We buy directly so my best suggestion would be to contact a local designer and ask for assistance.

How high should the TV be? - So how high is too high for the TV to be? I want to put out TV on top of the fireplace, but it just feels like we would be sitting in the front row of a movie theatre. I've seen this in many, many designs, but it just looks uncomfortable...does this really work? »

karen paul interiors It depends on the placement of your furniture. If you have to look to the side and up, then it is a problem (such as in your photo). Might be better to give us placement of your furnishings and distance from TV for us to ascertain the optimum height. Pictures always make the difference in being able to give some assistance and recommendations.

Robeson Design I know what you mean, If a fireplace is too high, it doesn't work. In this case, I purposely created a lower than usual mantle. By the photo I think you can see, the viewers are not ON TOP of the TV :-)

Robeson Design Hi Angela, The set of 6 paintings are from Art N Frame Source and the center painting of the trees is a custom piece painted by my design assistant Greyson Darrow. We often include at least one custom painting in every home we design. I'm glad you like it.

Tv components - Hi Rebecca, do you remember where your clients store their tv components (DVD, satellite box...)? We have a flat panel raised above the FP, with an asymmetrical wall space on either side which is causing a design dilemma. We need a spot to put our tv components so a custom entertainment would be fabulous but I can't figure out how to design it so it looks symmetrical... I'll add a pic to help ... Thanks for taking the time to respond if you can! »
