Can the second piece of art turn vertical?? I think that would look much better.

Thank you! OK, I will stay focused and keep it neutral. What if I add something like two candle holders that are purple and a purple pillow on the sofa, will that work? The painting I got won't fit vertically. I'll try to go to pier one and look at the one you sent.

Mantle 78 wide x 55 tall. I think with my proportions horizontal will go better.

Home interiors, which end tables do you like?

Should I say good bye to the lovely blue pillow?

Hands down the square!! I think find a more purple/ plum pillow with your taupe gray combination....art looks beautiful with your drapes..perfect!! Yes you can add small accessories to bring In some purple..I think a purple orchid in a gorgeous vase on the cocktail table would be sticking sometimes something small in the color you want makes it special!

I see what you're saying about purple/plum. I guess this means letting go of the pillow, I am sure there will be plenty of others. How do you feel about this gold glittery pillow?

I think I need to definitely do square end tables, but these are too small and awkward. What do you think?

Yes I like the gold pillow....yes you need square end tables:(

this combination is very nice..what do you think... Found new art!

I do prefer square it just looks more clean/finished....but if the round fit in your budget work with them..they are pretty...you may have to go with a rectangle or square cocktail table if you keep the round ones.

If you wanted a more monochromatic color scheme here are some suggestions. Black tall pedestals with pieces of sculpture to give it an art gallery feel. :) Karen can relate to this I know. :)

Do you think the dining room rug is too busy? The rug is shimmery, so at an angle you can't see too much of the pattern, but looking straight at it it is busy. I hope once the table is in its place with chairs it will be better.

wow I was so sure the chairs were brown so those pillows I posted way off!

I'm still would like one large painting for over your mantel though. But can't beat that price for the triple deal.

the dining room rug is gorgeous!

World market art....

I bought greystone before and returned it. It has some greenish tones. Maybe I should try it again now that I got my furniture and rug.

Maybe including some of our designs here will help you along with your dilemma? Notice the scones along the TV, the artwork, lamps, sofa table and art on it.

Nope, I stalled...I am looking for a car, so I'll get back to decorating once that's resolved :)

OK, will be watching for your return. Ugh! Hate car shopping! Good luck with that.

Sooo, I got the car, now back to my living room. We hung up the curtains aaaand I am not happy. They are touching the floor. I feel that half an inch off the floor would have been much better. The only thing I can do at this point is hem them myself, but big chance I will screw up and it's a lot of work. I have to say all the curtains I got are very uneven on the bottom.

Have we moved on to a different room? I don't recognize anything in your curtain pic.

Same room. The dining rooms and the living room are connected.

Where are they from?

bed bath and beyond and target. others are from home goods and same problem the sides are shorter than the middle.

I think i need to hem the bottom. It will be an improvement. Agree?

or go with different curtains all together???

are they too heavy looking?

Not sure if I mentioned Halfpricedrapes .com to you...I use it for 90% of my clients...beautiful high quality drapes most lined and weighted...look custom come in many readymade sizes....or you can pick a fabric and have a custom size made...you can order up to 10 free swatches and only pay $5.99 for shipping.....you will not be disappointed...I also would suggest not do grommet top for such a beautiful formal space..I would so drapery pins with drapery rings.

Can you post a pic of what pins and rings you have in mind? Thanks!

How do the sheers go with the pins and rings?

Why do you feel it is necessary for sheers?... your windows are beautiful and you are covering them all up....not that you can't hang the sheers and drapes but I would encourage you to add wovens/silhouettes blind instead with stationary drapes or just do sheers linen drapes ( Halfpricedrapes.com have some beautiful ones) that open and close on a traverse rod.....But here is the way to do sheers and drapery rings for drapes.

How are things going?

I Love your sofa (and everything else). Where did you buy it?

sofa is from macy's

I would say to never buy a set. Even if it is expensive it will look like a room lacking in any character and it is not a good design choice. The chairs are fine, I think that the rug needs to be changed out. Something that would give you some contrast would be good... it a darker rug. Of a light rug with no or little design to show off the chairs etc. And you could use an accent color to liven up the room. Throw pillows and some accessories with make a big difference.
