R&D's Profile

Hi! Original poster, R&D here. Since our question posted, we've been moving and this is the 1st chance I've had to jump back on here. It's probably too late to generate any further suggestions, but just in case anyone's still reading...

First, thanks so much for the feedback!

The walls are a rather neutral, linen color -- thanks to my trusty low-res camera phone, they look much more yellow in the photos. I love the idea of creating a cozy seating area over by the windows to counter the big sofa. I'm not sure the room is big enough, but we'll definitely consider that when the couch arrives and we get a better sense. Unfortunately we'll have to learn to live with the mirrored wall (as renters, we are deferring to our landlord on a lot of these elements), and we may have to stay with the current paint color as well, and it's not likely we can change the position of the big mammoth TV either. The big black hole underneath the television is a small gas fireplace. It doesn't look like a big black hole in person, I promise :-). All of the above confirms this: the room is beautiful but AWKWARD. I agree with all your comments about the TV, nooks, fireplace, but I'm afraid we are stuck with them!

We will only be using it as a living room with the possibility of adding a small, subtle workspace to it in the future. We'd love to get some more feedback, so thanks for anyone who's still checking and responds!
