On to the next room -- you've all been so helpful with my family room, foyer, and dining room, I'm now looking at my living room. It currently has all left over furniture -- piano, 2 barrel chairs, window treatments, and coffee table stay. I had a little guy bulb moment and wondered if I could switch the area rug in LR for the one in my Master BR. Tastes are changing from traditional to transitional and I'd like to introduce somewhat of a coastal vibe in this room. Adjoining DR contains driftwood type console/credenza and abstract landscape artwork that I think lends well to coastal decor. Nothing too much -- no boat models or sea shells. Sofa is Ethan Allen but very faded, and skirt is ripped by puppy. Not sure if a fitted slipcover would work or buy new. I'm thinking of doing some type of wainscoting or molding up 2/3 to 3/4 of the way up with a high value color on top. Barrel chairs are safe green, gold, and brown. But I had a 2nd lightbulb moment when I noticed pillow from FR had colors in it along with blue and cream since I was worried that chairs would not work with coastal theme. Help needed with rug question, layout, paint color and wainscoting question, what to do with family piano ( hate to get Rid of it and I know people are giving them away. What if I move sofa to window / front wall, chairs at right angle to sofa, and open book shelf against wall sofa is now. Lots of questions -- open to ideas. Thank YOU !!
