Hi all, I tried your suggestions of turning the sofa to face the fireplace and it cut off the walkway between the tv. The sofa feels too big for the space to do that. I think adding a chair or two to the side will work best.

I've realized the rug is too large for this space. It eats up the whole room. I'm searching for a 6' x 9'. Any ideas for rugs that will help bring a little bit of color in? Thinking mostly neutral with some sage, greens or blues?

oh! and, which light in place of the ceiling fan?

nice room. I like the rug too, although one w/a little color or pattern wouldn't hurt.

I like Melissa's last hanging pendant.

look at this fireplace,,,almost like yours. decorate yours like this. you need more of a horizontal pic. I'd remove those flowers.

or one like this: I think a white pouf would work in your spot too. (no disco ball)

for the corner next to lamp, try a tall plant like this

or even one like this with a nice color pot.

I think this decor would also look good on your fireplace (not the lamp) the longer photo, the little plants/books.

I really like a warm walnut type credenza for your tv space though.

do you like the idea of the hide over your existing one? how about a pouf? leather color or the white? the plants, some other art, ?

do some nice, white oak, or doug fir french doors.

maybe some artwork over on the tv wall? Google image search, "modern boho living room" and see tons of ideas

as for rugs, if you don't like the hide/layering thing,,,then:

tons of elements in this pic you can use too. the wood chair, pouf, tables, art, pillows, baskets...

if you had everything neutral, one or two of these velvet peacock chairs would be stunning!

notice the rug layering in this photo.

Mandi,,,cancel your order. you can buy wood doors, french doors, at home depot for 600,,,or get some used ones off of Craigslist for $100. yes you can. i sold mine for that price. all wood. learn how to put them in yourselves and save 500.

solid mahogany. new. 600

used. 150. you could clean and paint these and they'd be brand new

even these new, masonite doors from HD run about 400. anything is better than a vinyl slider!

don't know where you live, but it's worth a shot to shop around.

oh man Beth.. they're already ordered and contract signed. I wanted sliders to keep the look as similar to original as possible. I realize vinyl will take away from it, but the other two options I found were fiberglass or wood and both more than 2x expensive. I'm including photos from the original listing so you can see the two walls of windows for reference.

ok.. so keeping w/more the mid century type vibe. I just like french doors so much better. but if you keep these doors open a lot, then the sliders are a good choice. Will you be doing drapes? are you keeping the same door casing?

hey yeah, I like french doors too - trying to walk the line of keeping the house mid century-ish, without having every single piece mid-century.. There are actually french doors I'm thinking of painting black on the wall opposite the fireplace - they open into my office.

Thinking no drapes or shades on the doors. We have a pretty private back yard, lots of trees and plan to keep the doors open - we live in a temperate climate.

ok. yes,,me too. I don't have anything on my doors and most of my windows.

love black french doors. I did mine own in black. I bought these solid wood, oak, french doors, raw. They were pre hung, but completely unfinished. I wanted to stain them ebony. The cost was 1100. Getting them finished would have doubled the price. luckily I know how finish wood. took a bit, but worth it!

for sure do a White Oak.

maybe French white oak. looks great w/your black and white/mcm decor.

I think your other choices are a bit 'heavy' looking. plus, the dark is harder to keep clean.

do you like the natural Acacia? (that's what I have in my pic, above). It comes in wider planks and has gorgeous coloring.

Carmen, btw, that rug and sofa she has would look good w/your room. But I'd maybe layer that rug w/a hide or something w/a bit of color or pattern.

love it! nice job. are you leaving the window as is or have you thought about doing a woven wood blind like shown in the first pic?

I do believe a larger picture would work better on the mantel. (i'd move the vase down to the right in that empty spot. )

something at least double or triple the size of whats there. and spread them out from each other

a shrine? really jbtany? not everyone has 10 rooms in their house. why is it so hard to imagine a convo? you sit on the couch and speak. Not a big deal

I just came across your post and wanted to say that I love how your room has transformed. You are making me want to re-style my family room! I love your coffee tables too, where did you get them?
