I just had a hopeful thought though. This is a 2400 sq ft house in Arlington, Texas so the odds that this was built in the post-asbestos era are strongly in their favor.

Why would your comment get removed? Have you ever read AT comment threads before?

It would be very easy for this mash-up of colors and textiles to look busy or chaotic, but you did it. It looks really inviting and warm. What a pleasure to see.

I don't think it will become passé. A bar cart is a fine solution for small-space dwellers without the room for a separate bar area.

These people shouldn't be allowed in public. However, their taste is unimpeachable.

I love the dark floors! Any light that is lost from the finish can be gained in paint, proper lighting and clean windows.

I really detest carpet but bedroom carpeting is forgivable, and luvmodernism made me rethink wood floors in my coming old age!

I would also imagine that a soft wool carpet feels nice on the feet in the middle of a NY winter. I can't wait to see this space furnished!

This is the old one. He refers to this post as a love letter to his old place.

First of all, what a beautiful house.
I'd start by taking everything out of the room, and then paint it gray! :)

I think the corner between the windows should be the play area. You can add a 4x4 expedit and some ribba shelves to the walls for kids books and toys. Perhaps add a little sitting space beneath one of the windows for a reading nook. A larger rug would help, if it's in the budget. As for a landing strip, the perfect thing would be an old sideboard, to bring some texture into the room.

Turn your desk around and have it face the center of the room, if cords and safety will allow. I think the main thing is this room has a lot of small amorphous objects with nothing to center the space. Centering it with the reading nook would be sweet and useful.

Link won't open, darn it.

Paint the bed gray and get matching sheets. Solid colors or stripes. Lose the floral.
