This is nice change from the largely bright MCM-ish rooms (many of which are lovely, but still, good to have variety). I like the rose-mauve upper walls with the warm wood and the dark leather furniture, and the charming green cabinet livens things up.

For what it's worth, I would suggest a coffee table--the center of the room looks pretty bare--and maybe a couple of lighter throw pillows on the sofa.

The mauve is a good choice for our long, cold winters up here. I wouldn't have thought of it myself, but it really adds warmth.

NOT a hideous grass green. A lovely bright, summery green that is the perfect counter point in that room. Well done!

I love the clock. It's antique but funky! Looks like a great room for conversation among friends. love it!

Wonderful! You have shown a great sense of style - simple and sophisticated without going over the top. It's a difficult balance to achieve and you have done it flawlessly.

Very attractive room! (the big, color-coordinated star in the window is a plus) :)

That green cabinet with the peacock feathers on top is so yummy I could eat it for lunch. The walls don't work for me though, so overall this doesn't get a "favorite" vote from me. :( The white against the mauve just doesn't flow.

On the contrary, I think the pink and cream are delightful together! Very whimsical.

ps the little pink boat is just TOO CUTE!

I feel your pain, I also have dark natural woodwork and it's hard to lighten the room and not make it feel too over the top, I think you've done a great job........remember practice makes perfect;-)
