Living Room Comments

Thanks for all the sweet things you all had to say about my Living Room!
This was one of my favorite ideas:

"...I think that the mantel could use some great salvaged brackets corbels what ever you like to call them , it would add some bulk with that amazing mantel..."
-Chris

Isn't that GREAT? I am DEFINITELY going to do that Chris. Thanks for planting the seed!

And this comment was such a treat too-

"...simply add some rich and spicy colors-
dark burnt pumpkin, saffron, dark oregano, indigo, claret,
brandy or copper, for a change during the cooler months..."

Truth be told, orange was my first inclination. But after a thorough search for throw pillows and rugs, I'm just not finding what I like. So, I'm now leaning towards mossy green or navy blue. And I'd love to switch it out with red around the holidays.

So many of you said I should keep the mirror up. But are you SURE three of these wouldn't look better?



That's what I had in mind. I just LOVE em. The thought of something really, really old and crusty-looking hanging behind that deliciously glossy black piano is so intriguing to me.

I'm all about a wonderful blend of old and new. When you get it right, the mixture is magic!
