I really enjoy your blog, I think yo...Hello there! I really enjoy your blog, I think you have a lovely home. The first things that sprang to mind when I saw the photos of your formal room was 'Oooh, great green chaise!', and 'I'm so getting an ornate frame with nothing in it!'. Loved both!<br /><br />Perhaps you could move the plant and put a small table between the two chairs under the window? Maybe with a small stack of books and a small vase? Because the chairs have such a strong pattern (and are FAB, by the way) they'll look great with something softer in between.<br /><br />If you hadn't mentioned that you had just got rid of a bookcase I might have suggested putting one on the wall next to the piano...but I suspect that's where it was! <br /><br />Also, maybe a little more colour accent? I can see the back of a hot pink cushion on the chaise, and I love hot pink with both black and white and green, so maybe that would work? (a hot pink vase on the small table I mentioned earlier? or maybe a white/glass vase with pink flowers?).<br /><br />I also agree with you about the rug....definitely something bigger, but like the lack of pattern because it really lets the chairs shine!<br /><br />I hope you get it working the way you want soon :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02020899607665959874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7450153851581452527.post-22968863059813049812011-03-01T19:09:28.094-08:002011-03-01T19:09:28.094-08:00I love your living room even without those few ite...I love your living room even without those few items...

That way you can be sure of what you want instead of trying to make things fit together. I think those lams on the piano could use some bright shades to punch things up a bit. That's an easy DIY though! Maybe a nice big piece of art over the piano. You could make something yourself!Brandi@ Flights of Whimsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04949135596695787724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7450153851581452527.post-67302219715136314122011-02-28T22:00:47.025-08:002011-02-28T22:00:47.025-08:00I love it!

I can come up with ideas for other peep's homes in a heartbeat, but my own keeps me stumped. Finally got off my arse and made some progress on my living room.

But getting those two items will definitely complete the whole room. :) To add some fun to the room, maybe you can get a pair of matching green rectangle decorative pillows for both your chairs. I am thinking maybe apple green and white stripes or green chevron pattern pillows for those chairs. Also, to balance out your window on the left, you can consider adding a console/sideboard/buffet on the right of the piano and then, flank a huge modern/ classic mirror on top of it to bounce off the light. Add two table lamps on the console, like those two on the piano will work. Then, accessorize with things you love. Or perhaps, you can replace the mirror with a huge art. The key is a fun and colorful modern art, and I am sure it will goes well with your eclectic room and get rid of the "formal" looking room syndrome. :) Also, the addition of a huge art gives a big statement as well as balance out your window on the left. Hope it helps. With your great taste and eye for beautiful things, I am sure it will work out the way you wanted in the end. I am your new follower and I love your blog, by the way.<br /><br />Jessie from www.mixandchic.comJessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07839506348294085514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7450153851581452527.post-74835338637040531412011-02-28T14:17:41.078-08:002011-02-28T14:17:41.078-08:00Practically a blank slate...have fun girl!!
