T'Mahk Too - Comments on Imaginary Decorating - Take Two http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000837.html Alright internet peeps, I need your help. I'm sure you'll recall I have no decorating sense. Here's the long wall of my living room. Pardon the barrel-and-stitching distortion, my floor and ceiling aren't really curved. Here's what I've got to... en-gb Sat, 10 May 2008 09:55:25 -0500 Tue, 13 May 2008 10:01:49 -0500 http://www.movabletype.org/?v=4.1 kim@andfam.net 180 By Dawn Penguin Ok, just one thing off the top of my head... it looks "wrong" to me to have both blue frames on the same side... switch one blue with the yellow, IMO :nod http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000837.html#c315973 315973:837@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ Ok, just one thing off the top of my head... it looks "wrong" to me to have both blue frames on the same side... switch one blue with the yellow, IMO :nod

It's hard to tell, I guess, but there's two sets: red/orange/yellow and green/blue/purple - the blue is a little turquoise and the purple is a blueish ... but there's not (technically) two blue. I put the "warm" on one end - over the 'warmer' couch and closer to the picture with the warmer colors ... there's also an orange (mostly) painting on the south end of the room, in the piano alcove. And then I put the "cool" colors at the other end, over the 'cool' couch, closer to the window. Not that I'm rejecting your advice, just explaining why the three and three started where they did. so you're saying move ... the purple? ... over to the 'warm' side and the yellow to the 'cool' side? http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000837.html#c315974 315974:837@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ both blue?

I have a hard time picturing the whole room to know what I would do though. http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000837.html#c315976 315976:837@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ I am not a fan of 2 couches side by side.

]]> Sat, 10 May 2008 16:56:19 -0500 By kim I'm not a huge fan of the couches like that, either. It does provide us with space to all lounge when watching videos together, and room to have a few families over for Bible Study. But I am not totally happy with it, just not sure what else to do with it. http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000837.html#c315977 315977:837@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ I'm not a huge fan of the couches like that, either.

]]> Sat, 10 May 2008 18:02:26 -0500 By Nicole Take a wide picture of the room w/ those couches in it... if you can. For now, I wouldn't put the big pics on the same wall as the littles, but group the littles together, lower, over one couch.

The blue & purple look the same in the picture (to me) ... so yes, your assessment is probably correct :) http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000837.html#c315979 315979:837@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ Oh.

]]> Sat, 10 May 2008 19:28:35 -0500 By karen I like the picture arrangement over your couches. I like the warm side/cool side thing you've got going. My only suggestion would be to switch the two pictures on the far right. It looks like the bottom one is just one picture and the top one is the multiple pics of your squill. I think the squill should be on the bottom since it will be easier to look up and see the one picture on the top, rather than the multiple picture on the top. http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000837.html#c315980 315980:837@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ I like the picture arrangement over your couches.
