Trying to find an old post - I'm feeling frustrated

10 years ago

About 19 months ago I was searching on here for ideas for our DIY basement reno and now we're finally at the finish and decorate stage and I can't find the inspiration photo! It was an article of a black and white living room and the question was what colour to use as accent and how to place the rug. I just remember that it looked so classy with the bold, sunny yellow and there were chevrons. I can't find it in my bookmarks or ideabooks and there are thousands of pictures on here! Maybe this rings a bell for someone else who has it bookmarked or knows how to search for it effectively? Thank you so much for your time :-)

Was the photo of the black and white living room with chevrons a Houzz photo, or was it a photo the people posted of their own home?

I looked in "All" Houzz Discussions and put the month and year for 19 months ago (January 2012) in the search box. A few things came up.
Then I looked in "All Houzz" and entered "Chevron" in the search box. Two possibilities for you are:
Houzz PHOTO QUESTIONS.
1.) September 13, 2013 "I love the rug! Where did you get it?"
2.) September 6, 2013 " Suggestions on color scheme?"

I don't think this is your photo but I thought it might be similar enough to help

Thank you kindly, everyone! i know it is such a vague thing to answer...
Your suggestion is interesting and similar, sharpkl, but isn't the one i have in my mind. I guess I'll have to just try out what will work in my unique situation. I am not very good at describing what I want though I see the picture in my head, and i was looking for this photo so my husband would also 'see' what I was 'seeing' LOL!
as for your replies, nasmijati; I'm pretty sure it was a photo the person posted of their own home similar to the discussion that sharpkl suggested. I haven't found it through the searches you suggested...yet! ;-) Thinking back to the image in my head...i am wondering if maybe they didn't have any yellow in their room yet - it may have been all black and white and they were wondering whether they should have the front legs of the couches on or off the rug.
i will keep looking - it encouraged me that you took the time to try to help.
