Will only work if you pull together with pillows & accessories, otherwise the chair is too dark and too chunky in and of itself to complement the sofa.

Definitely bare. Add drapes & artwork (preferably something with some texture to it, as opposed to flat) as above, plus some placemats (table cloth probably too big), and see how it looks then. I...

Urg. Furthermore, "..some really beautiful functional sculptures.." is not much of a write-up for something that is guaranteed to stir strong reactions. The puns were funny.

I take mine to the local UPS branch.

I've got a small clear-glass vase in the soap holder, and my favorite perfume bottle in the cup portion of the toothbrush holder. They're set too high for me to be able to put flowers in the vase ...

bepsf, sassydo, & abc123, I'm with you - it takes work, but I avoid Chinese imports whenever possible.

Okay, so you took a giant flying leap into Color My World decorating and landed flat on your ass, but hey, it's only life :-) Even your headline was colorful: "My living room makes me nauseous!" ...

Actually, with a different rug, the table will look more harmonious with your sofa and chairs. The rug looks dark, rumpled & furry, and detracts from the modern lines of the table - being glass, i...

What a delightful & refreshing request :-) No suggestions, except that if you want to search etsy, type: dancing bears NOT dead - that will screen out the greatful dead bears.

Looks like someone's decided to film yet another remake of Great Expectations, starring Gwenyth Paltrow as Miss Havisham...

Needs some chile peppers or sun dried tomatos for color pop.

AmyA, are you listening to the rest of us?

I don't usually go negative, so as to keep distance from the troll/hater/immature mentality that sadly surfaces even here, but those splayed deer leg seats are a horrifying abomination. I can't eve...

Great advice, thanks - very thorough. Also helps to find some way to anchor the tree to keep it from tipping over. Put a weighted board under the tree and wire the tree stand, or secure against ...

cozy is the new hip :-)

Very helpful. Request that you tackle choosing the right green next?

could possibly work for a minute with young 20-somethings in an uber-ironic-kiddieregressive studio or loft. Very easy to grow out of, or to regret purchasing-under-influence. Better to look for o...

urg, if pink and kelly green is preppy, then pink and black is Good-n-Plenty. Who needs more corn syrup? First thought, best thought.

kellylj and jezebella are onto something. Accepting that "real" tools are black, steely, and tough is like accepting the terms "man" or "mankind" as standing for all humans, male and female. I'm ...
