[img]you don't wanna see the bedroom...[/img]

We just moved in. So please feel free to give me some paint ideas. We figured we could just move stuff in, get a feel, and then paint next year.

All that dark furniture makes the rooms look a bit small and uncomfortable, IMO.
I´d cover some stuff with bright colored sheets or maybe get rid of some of the dark furniture. I had stuff like that in the 90s but found it waaaaay too dark looking and now that I have bright colored stuff I feel much more comfortable.

In the condo we lived in before we had light colored furniture. We got rid of it....I guess we should take all those purchases back, huh?

Dark or light furniture is strictly a matter of personal taste. I think your furniture is just fine (especially if you like it!!!).

I like the dark brown leather couch very much! The wall/tv unit will work. I personally stay away from very dark large units for the most part mostly because it shows dust so much and with the 2 dogs...forget it.

never thought of that. The rest of the house has light colored furniture. We had to find a happy medium with the living room. He likes darker furniture and light colored surroundings.

I think I may post our foyer. I don't know WHAT to do with it. I know mirrors or random art and perhaps a rug. Just clueless as to what to do with it.

This is our first home so I'm extra excited about getting it all settled in.

Beautiful NuPwr. And you can't beat the family history. That's so unusual these days I think.

I just happen to have some photos of our condo as we are currently trying to sell.

its fine, i just wouldn't change the wall color. Keep you accessories minimal and to scale with the rest of the furniture. Add a few choice solid color wall panels for some of the window that run from floor to ceiling to tie in a color, like a dark red. Doing this will be cost effective and easy. and minimal, which is what your aim should be, minimal with all the heavy dark furniture. Maybe just one coloured panel on one side of each window opening running floor to ceiling to give it the room some height. Maybe throw a couple large natural coloured down filled sheepskin throw pillows on the sofa.
thats it, your home- sheepskin throw pillows in natural and a couple floor to ceiling curtain panels. Go zero show on the curtain rods, no frills or finials.

Art is ALWAYS good!!!


What sort of things do you like? Styles. Colors. How do you want people to feel when they walk into your foyer/home? Warm? Cool? Relaxed? Excited?...

My personality is pretty loud. I was thinking why not make a statement?

This thread is the gamma ray burst of ghey.
If ‘My Little Pony’ were turned into a broadway
musical, it still couldn’t touch this thread.
