so do you have furnishings? or is it all new, do you have a style or color preference? how many will sitting there nightly?

have you got any photos of your current style of furnishings?

Stephanie, you can try doing something like this

Good luck

ok, so the sofa and loveseat are both recliners? that takes up a lot of space. will you die without them? how about going a little lighter. do you have a better idea of your style? any modern roots hiding in there? it looks like they are struggling to come out. any color preferences?

also how often do the teens hang out there, like me i am sure you do not wish to lose that attention. It was very important to me as my child aged. how many teens are you normally feeding, entertaining? How many of that great wood chair do you have?

i like these, i like the wood, i know this furniture holds up forever. it is easy to change out the cushion covers, and it has a smaller foot print. this is my favorite of the 3 i am suggesting.

ok, i ditched everything else. understand that couch has a black base not brown. Everyone has been telling me that scarves are out. but how about some nice sheers to go over the blinds? are we trying to control costs here?

ok, well then, lets not do the brown blinds, and are you sure i can get you a slightly more modern rug with a different take on the black and cremey white theme?

That couch is lovely, but you can also get them in futon styles, and fairly similar ones at less expensive stores. more bang for your buck. I would also get fold up chairs or couches out of foam, that can easily more in and out of the room to handle over flow, including those impromptu over nites you get.

oh, would you be comfortable going non brown for a while? also, you might want to have your kids help in the design, with of course mom's veto. there are literally 100s of pillows on amazon. and there are so many cool ones with cool sayings and stuff it is staggering. I know the new things are little out of what you normally have. and i am happy to scale it all back. it just is going to give you this cool hip look, and despite the fact guys say they do not care they do. and don't believe them they love fuzzy kittens as much as the creepy stuff.

the prices are very reasonable. never feel you insult me, i love to shop. so just give direction and off we will go!

oh dear i am so confused. first rug had multicolors woven together at an angle. the second was a greek key kinda geometric. all pillows after each rug are just some of the options. the 3rd rug was aqua, green, and blue. so you were talking about the geometric rug? confirm that, then i will give you a few sets of pillows, and can you give me a little more detail on the choice of pillows then i can head that way.
