help, bought mid mod couch and now I don't know where to go from here!
Comments (60)Every living room with a front door is a "walk through" living room. Draw a to-scale diagram of your living room on 1/4" graph paper, indicating the location of all doors, windows, openings to other rooms, and other permanent features. Then make cut-outs of furniture you plan to use in the room, placing them in various configurations until you find an arrangement you like. Placing your furniture away from the right-side wall encourages people to either walk into the room center OR to walk behind the sofa to another room. Guests will be ushered INTO the living room arrangement. The plumber will pass BEHIND the furniture arrangement to the kitchen or bathroom. Once you finalize a furniture arrangement, you can select an area rug to place within your arrangement. As you know by following Houzz, at least the front half of all your seating pieces should be upon the rug....See MoreWould you suggest that they change it even if they don't want to?
Comments (74)I'm not a fan of the yellow, but what's really jarring to my eye is the mantle/shelf being installed 6-10 inches above the fireplace surround. If they would paint that space between the shelf, brackets and fireplace surround the same white as the shelf, etc. it might look a bit more cohesive. If they would spend the money/time, I would move that mantle/shelf so that it sits directly above the fireplace surround. Good luck!...See MoreSome things just never go away!!
Comments (118)haha Ann... I'm terrified of color too! I live vicariously through other people's colorful houses! :) and thanks LB again for helping her out, and anyone else who popped in! I was just drawn to it, esp after reading her reaction to the negative ppl....See MorePlease make it go away...
Comments (33)Thank you so much everyone. The more I look at them, the more I am thinking about not painting the cabinets...at least for now and then hiring a pro. They are painted laminate. The appliances are faced in the same laminate. I am into diy but that task seems beyond me. To answer a couple questions, the appliances in the master bath are a small washer/dryer combo. ...And sadly the master bedroom is the same color. Everything is that color. Except for the office (white) and the upstairs bedrooms. The previous owner REALLY liked gold. All of the interior doors are also painted and all the molding. Sigh. Visitors (and my husband) say they don't mind the color but I say if it's a color I wouldn't wear or paint my car I can't live in it! For a little more info, I am an artist and my paintings are very colorful and lively. This backdrop is a complete no go for displaying my art. Thanks again. I really appreciate all the advice and support. I absolutely adore this house and am looking forward to making it more "me" :)...See Morempagmom (SW Ohio)
