Any Room Idea: Likes and Dislikes

Likes: That the case/wicker baskets are Ikea (i.e. not expensive); the colors; the chair - amazing fabric - looks SUPER plump and cozy; the complementary colors and fabrics, the stack of magazines to make an end table, the neat swirly rug, the way the white objects/cubby pop, against that wall color, the way the books are organized by color... Lastly, I love that it could go in a den, bedroom, office, playroom, nursery, etc. - it's a very versatile idea.

Dislikes: Um... i don't have any! I think this room was put together SO well and am kind of obsessed with it. It makes me want to have a splash wall painted in the SB room - a bright ORANGE wall.... Austin would LOVE it. haha

What do you think? Love it or hate it?

Living Room: Likes & Dislikes

Likes: the couch - love the tufting. The black/white pillows - love how the one is inverted. The 9 hanging pieces and how they match the pillows. I love the idea of geting canvas and doing a fun project like this (yes, i'm sure there's wasn't homemade!).

Dislikes: The zebra rug - not for me. The heavy blanket. The dark color on the walls.

I wish I could see more of the room, but for now I definitely want pillows like this for the green guest room and LOVE the idea of 9 canvas pieces to hang that match pillows!!

Dining Room: Likes & Dislikes

Likes: I love the buffet, and the paint color and white border. And while I like the black/white photos, I think there should only be two rows and they should be a little bit lower. Something about the third row seems squiashed and it's overlapped by the stuff on the buffet. Not a fan. I do love the size of the room, the floors, and love how it's open/sparse in the room.

Dislikes: The chairs. I LOVE the idea of upholstered chairs, but this print is wrong to me. And I like the idea of 2 chairs being the same on the end, with 6 different ones in the middle (like Parsons chairs). I think the table is blah - the centerpiece/chandelier - blah/blah. I also dislike the random piece of furniture in the bottom left... ew.

What do you think?

Living Room: Likes & Dislikes

LOVE this room! Yes, it's a bit sterile, but overall - I think it's well edited and it feels warm!

Likes: The simple couch/3 pillows; the leather couch; the two matching lamps/end table; using two square coffee tables rather than one rectangle; the bookend bookcases/large window/drapes. It seems like a sitting room/lounge/chill area rather than a den or living room.

Dislikes: The rug, the lack of color pop (needs something), the lack of a print - the pillows should have a print (the printed rug - blah), the shades (would be cooler if they were drum shades!), and it almost needs more seating - one more chair?

Living Room: Likes & Dislikes

Likes: I like the simple piece behind the couch, I like the little boxes on it, I love the shades and the jute rug, the recessed lighting is fabulous, the build ings are nice - but is that wall paper behind them?

Dislikes: I'm not crazy about the little black end table, there's no color pop, the knick nacks are kind of plain/boring, and while I like that chair, it's too out-of-Africa when combined with the rug and shades. There just doesn't seem to be anything holding this room together - is that what bugs me?

What do you think?!

Living Room: Likes & Dislikes

Likes: This room speaks to me! I love the warm colors, the dark wood, the heavy drapes no the pretty windows, the matching lamps/end tables at each side of the couch, the way it feels 'lived in' but still tidy. I think what I like most is the overall feel this room puts off.

Dislikes: I'm not crazy about the slipcovered furniture - i'd prefer microsuede; I dislike the pillows on the couch - they blend too much and i'd like to see a color or pattern or a colored pattern! I don't like the lamp on the fireplace- doesn't seem functional? I think, like the green office post below, this room needs, as my mom says "some editing."

Bedroom Likes & Dislikes

Likes: The bedding, the bench, the leather recliners, the warm feeling of the room, the window treatments, the two simple matted prints over the bed and the bed frame - a bed frame looks so clean!

Dislikes: Too many pillows (I especially dislike the one in the front), the glass part of the side lamp, the white border along the ceiling... that's it!

This is a good room to me - just needs a little editing and a few new things. And I kind of feel like it needs a color pop. What do you think?

Desk Area: Likes & Dislikes

I am so envious of this space! Note: I'm not envious of the rug, all of that brass hardware/frames, the nick knacks, etc., but I do love the chair, having this space with all of the cabinets to hide messes away - but still having a space to display things, etc. I definitely need a space like this for me (it will be more sawhorse desk with shelves over it - but still). I'm still planning to have my scrapbook stuff in a closet - it's just too much to store you know? Sigh.

Living Room: Likes & Dislikes

Likes: That lamp is bada$$ (not in silver, but still); love the simple, solid sofa with the cool printed pillows; like the vase with sticks (not blue but still); like the thing on the coffee table (but it looks lonely); like the drapes (heavy, but not too haeavy, look nice).

Dislikes: the tables (both coffee/end table look cheap); again - dislike the silver part of lamp - looks like a hershey's kiss; and, while I like some things in the room, it seems kind of empty/sterile...
