Not sure I agree with you here, Maxwell. It makes the room look much darker. If that is the cozy you're after, then you've achieved what you wanted. But it reminds me of my grandmother's house in McKeesport, PA that was sandwiched between two other houses and had an awning on the front porch. When she put curtains over her blinds, the temperature and ambience of the room dropped about 10 degrees. Apartment Therapy on Covering Your Windows Renovation Diary |

I'm not sure that the chairs are your problem. Your room *is* "old-fashioned". It's charming in a Grandmotherly kind of way. And if that's who you are, then why change anything? Painting the oak chairs is only going to help marginally. What Color Should I Paint My Windsor Chairs? Good Questions |

The vinyl plank flooring in the basement didn't work out so well. I came to a transition space of about three feet wide, 6 feet long, at an angle, between two rooms and had no idea how to make it work. Then there was the issue of the missing moisture barrier between thr planks and the concrete. Funny how the box directions never mentioned needing one. Anyway, the whole thing started to come apart at the seams, literally, after about a year of service. It looked awful. I just replaced it with laminate, installed by a professional. Much better.
