I understand the wood purists point of view here, but honestly this is a really well done remodel and ultimately what makes AT so interesting is seeing different takes on traditional design.

I agree with the other posters, this is a wonderfully curated home, and a nice respite from the same old same old.

I'm sorry but who in their right mind is going to spend 200-500 dollars on an Ikea slipcover?

It's interesting how the European aesthetic is really starting to cross over here in the States. To them, its simply practical and yet beautiful to mix era's and styles but in our culture so used to buying everything in "sets" and all at once from one store or another it's very much a new idea. Great tour, hope to see more like it.

Some Suggestions:

1. Paint - a rich navy blue might be fun

2. Drapery- think velvet or linen

3. Fireplace - I would leave the brick as is, possibly adding a different hearth piece and a nice reclaimed wood shelf to replace the white one, something with a rustic lodge feel.

4. TV could be mounted on fireplace or large mirror or art piece on fireplace, sconces would be a nice touch.

5. Furniture - chairs flanking each side of the fireplace, sofa across and a sofa table behind would be the classic setup.

I wouldn't try and do everything all at once, just work on things as the budget allows, keeping in mind your overall design goal.

I was hoping you could share your paint colors and brands?
