Need help finishing this room.

12 years ago
Just purchased the blue curtains to tie in with my nautical theme living room. And the blue bar stools. I would like to get a banquet sitting for this one side with throw pillows
But I'm missing something.. Or get rid of the curtains
I have attached my living room you can see colours used. My house is open concept and the dinning room is right be hind the dark grey chair

    Or this way

    I prefer the patterned fabric on the top! Looks great!
  • 12 years ago
    Will you still do nailheads? I love the look of nailheads!
  • 12 years ago
    Ya I think so I love them. You don't think it looks to busy the pattern on top?
  • 12 years ago
    Well I like it both ways. At first I didn't see the nailhead so I chose the pattern on top. When I saw the nailhead i became torn!

    I just look again, and I do like how the pattern on the seat breaks up the dark between the bench base and the padded wall. If you do the nail trim all the way around then go with patterned seat. Sorry for making that way longer than it needed to be! :)

    I'm so torn lol. Everyone is saying pattern on top. But I also like the break up from the bench part
  • 12 years ago
    Like this. Pillows for ex
  • 12 years ago
    Ugh doesn't that suck?! It sounds like you prefer it on the bottom.

    Since it's a glass table top you can see through and still see the seating area pattern. :)

    I'm just worried that pattern on the top will be to busy, because I have such a busy backsplash
  • 12 years ago
    I think bottom! Especially if you don't want it to compete with the backsplash
  • 12 years ago
    Went with the grey. My thumbs are killing me from those studs

    I love your bench. You did an amazing job. the pattern works well on both the top and the bottom, but I think if you are putting the solid on the top then you should definitely use a patterned curtain. Everything you have done looks so great, but I don't think those curtains do anything for the room. I'm confident you could find something better.

    It looks so great! Love love love the nailheads! Totally worth the sore fingers. :)

    I would continue the patterned fabric on both pieces of your amazing bench. I agree that you need a heavier fabric for your draperies. Have you thought of bringing in the golish color that is in the bench fabric to the window treatment?

    I'm having such a hard time with the curtains, especially that the house is all open concept
  • 12 years ago
    Just get it all finished and then see what you think of the finished product. I bet you will like it when it's all done. Set up your table with some placemats that have a punch of color too. I always set my table for some reason. :) probably shouldn't but I just like the look of a dressed table.

    So what about these... They clearly are just thrown up there and wrinkled. The length will be to the ground
  • 12 years ago
    The bench seat still isn't done
  • 12 years ago
    I like those a lot!! They look great!

    We are going to attempt to hang ours today. I am so nervous that we are going to screw something up.
  • 12 years ago
    I think those really brighten the room! And the medallions on them seem to match the medallions on your bench fabric.
  • 12 years ago
    Haha you'll be fine! I hope it's not to much beige
  • 12 years ago
    How'd the hanging go
  • 12 years ago
    I think it looks really nice!

    It was a disaster. We decided to call someone to do it. We couldn't figure out the right height to hang the stupid bracket. So now we get to patch holes and have someone try again!

    Your chandelier is more traditional and table is modern. Change to a brush nickel hang 36" from table top. Add a black bamboo shade to,window keep Half way dn.then open panels and just have on ends. Put one chair on other side. And add a big 40" art to that wall hang low. Ikea has some nice ones.

    Add some accent color to sofas in print and solid pillows mix up.size and shape. try a black,and white chevron panels on windows instead.

    genn, what about making the curtains go out wider on the wall or maybe take up the whole wall. In any case...you did a phenomenal job and you have a good eye.

    Hey icondrey... Have you done any fun projects lately
  • 12 years ago
    Hey! I actually spray painted a vase last weekend and then a lamp today! :) How is your dining room coming along?
  • 12 years ago
    The lamp is gray and the tall vase is what but my phone makes them look blue.
  • 12 years ago
    Love both pieces. My seat cushion still has to get made
  • 12 years ago
    It looks great! When do you think you will finish it? We still haven't had our curtains hung, the guy we had called never showed up so we went with a contractor who does curtains normally. He comes Friday at noon! I'm so nervous. :)
  • 12 years ago

    This one would work well and I've used it twice before in dining situations.

    I think you need a heavier curtain panel also, and I'd really consider painting the entire fireplace wall into the dining a rope colored tan or a greyed blue that works with everything else to punch up the rooms. I love your fireplace configuration .Good luck!

    The answer is here!! You can hang curtains with no nails, screws, holes and tools. Hang your curtains like a Pro quickly, attaches to blind header. Genius! Visit our website at www.curtain-clip.com, Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/pages/Curtain-Clipcom/659072517560039
