How does this look?

18 years ago

After removing the tree, I found this corner to be very bare.

I pulled an old wingback & antique lamp that I had in this corner. Do you think this looks okay? I am not crazy about the upholstery (it has elephants on it) but the colors do work in the room. DH still loves the fabric - picked it out a long time ago. That is why he is not included in my "reindeer games!!"

Table from Target and can be returned - nothing on it yet.

Here are some other pics of the room to give perspective.

Also, any thought to shutters - white to match doors or wood stain to match entertainment unit??

Les, I hung the duck - I still need to work the greenery some.

And always, I have a dog butt in my pictures!! They are my little "groupies" follow, follow, follow ;)

Thanks for any advice on the room.

Smiles:)

    Well, I love the dog butt. ;-D

    But there's something about furniture in front of a door -- even a door that's not actually used -- that bothers me somewhat. Do you not ever use the door? Looks like you may be thinking of treating the door and windows to shutters? (Am I out of the loop from a previous discussion? Entirely possible! LOL!)

    Your room is lovely. I like the chair and the lamp in that corner. I don't think you need the table. I would go with white shutters for the door(I think matching the furniture would darken the room too much).

    I like the chair there also, but I think I'd do the lamp to one side and the table to the other.

    I think it fits together well. I would do a contrasting pillow and a small green plant on the table. And I would reverse the order of the pictures on the wall, placing the smaller one on top.

    The duck is much better up there! LOL The room is looking great.

    I like the look of the chair, etc. but I think the lamp needs to sit behind the chair, rather than beside it. When reading, the light should be coming over the shoulder, and that way the lamp and the table aren't competing for visual space. Pull the chair forward just a bit if needed, and put the lamp into the corner.

    Find a faux floral/greenery arrangement to sit on the table that will hide the doorknob, and you will lose the sense that it is a doorway, and create the feeling that it is just a taller window.

    I would do white shutters, since you have such large white trim on the windows.

    Yes -- the chair/table/lamp works in that corner. I'd add a thin basket full of magazines on the left-hand side. LOL! Thats a great chair for tea-and-a-fresh-magazine!

    I vote for white shutters to match the trim and the windows.

    Love the doggie groupies!! :)

    Thanks to you all!!

    I moved the lamp behind the chair - will look for greenery. I do want to keep the table - b/c as teacats mentioned it is a great place to read with drink in hand - althou, mine would probably be wine:)

    I would really rather have another type table - I don't know why I am liking these accent tables that look like twigs for legs with a metal top?? I will keep this one (cheap) and be on the look out.

    And white shutters it is - now I just need the funds;)

    Smiles:)

    Johnatemp, I think that looks completely charming.
