Unfinished living room

12 years ago
Is a shame to say this but for some reason or another I could not finished it.
I like contemporary style...cosy,clean style no too much patter or design, neutral colors.
I want to change wall color, reclyner color, and the tv area i think need something to make it live...I am attaching some pictures for you to have an idea what I have now. Sofa & loveseat are expresso colot (fyi)
I will be waiting for everyone ideas then decide what to do.

    Is it a good price? You would know kind of about prices since you have been looking today. I just do not want you to drive that far and not like it or bring it home and not love it. BUT it could be THE ONE!

    Yes, I talked to the lady and she said that are cups she put to protect the floor. . It's made of oak and it's dark brown, cushions are guava color (not orange).
    I have to go there to sit and check if it's okay not comfortable. . So that's why I was asking you if the lines or design is good to have it

    Thanks Chris/Abby. .. she was selling the chair for 80 she is moving... so I asked her 50 and she said yes...Then I will go now... Abby look at the pics I think I folded the way you asked

    Angle the chair just a bit more away from the tv, unless that is absolutely the best for your mother in law. Gosh, it is totally perfect for right there and love the lttle table you found for it. Nice of her to give you the pillow....do you like it better than any you have?

    Why not try that plant over on the other side of the tv. It is a great plant for this room and now it can be right by the window. Maybe put the STUFF in the car just to get it out of there???

    Where is the pic from? By the door or by the stairs? Can it go on the wall to the right of the tv the way grover showed once?

    Now, sit down in the recliner, look around, smile and sip a glass of wine!!!!

    I am so happy you found a chair for by the stairway. I remember that was a huge concern the last time we played in your home. That is why the table was just sitting there for no reason other than filling in the space. Your room all works now......all of it! Nothing to do but enjoy it!

    And please, a pic of hubby in his new chair when he gets home! You know we love those!!!

    Carolina -- love the chair! The dark wood and the cushion color are perfect and I'm glad you found one with fabric in an apricot color! I would use the pillow the lady gave to you with the chair -- it really adds depth to the chair and makes it pop!

    Also, could you please move the plant just a tiny bit closer to the television, so it's more centered between the window, the corner and the tv. It looks a wee bit off-center in the photo!

    I think a beautiful floor lamp would look fantastic on the other side of the tv in the corner. You could use it for soft mood light or for a reading light by the new chair. Here's some lamp ideas for that corner! Your husband is going to be very impressed!

    So are you happy with the results so far?

    While I was driving I was thinking about everyone of you guys.... no faces, but just to imagine everyone taking time to research something for me... it's inexplicable what I feel... believe me I would not do anything without your help... every piece, every color, has something to do with you, but the most lovely is that putting that together it's me, it is what I want... and I am so sure that my hubby will be impressed! !!!! Thank you guys thanks thanks thanks....

    Carolina... I enjoyed reading all of the sweet thoughts you have for the people here who have taken part in your journey and so glad you're happy with the outcome!

    I'm confused though...what picture? Are you talking about the post where I said I liked the pictures of the "trees" you bought?

    Morning everyone... Christi ... i meant this part "It looks a wee bit off-center in the photo!"... I did not know of if I have to move it to the center of table or remove the photo from that part.
    Have a nice day
  • 12 years ago
    Hey... sorry I am back... I found this print in my storage room... because the color I thought it might work... I dont want to add too much stuff... I rather prefer be simple.. Maybe remove something to add this or just keep it the way that was before (no print)... let me tell you yesterday i had to take out the plant because was in it a little frog making noises... terrible. I will buy a new one :) i am scared to them )

    I like that new pic a lot! You are so right about the colors working in your room and you needed a bit of art at that end of the room. It MIGHT need to go a bit higher.....will see what everyone else says, so leave it for now. And i am not sure which side, either. I like it on the chair side with all the colors there, but it fills in the other side nicely, too.

    I think she meant in the photo you had online for her to look at with the plant and to move the plant a bit since the plant was off centered.

    Just stopped and really looked at the pics again.....love the pillows on the chair and you have it angled just right. I love how the silver in the vase matches the silver handles on the console. The flowers are just the right color and height. The plant is one of my favorites and you even have it in a pot already. AND you did this whole part of the room all by yourself! All by yourself!

    I am guessing grover will also notice that you cleaned off the console and no small things there anymore.

    Grover (the one in the doggles) is a he, but groveraxle is a she. And Carolina, you've done a wonderful job. Love the new chair, the furniture arrangement works, the room is warm and welcoming. Couldn't ask for more. Here's a high five!
