It’s still not final but so much progress!! I’m so proud of how far this room has come. The couch will eventually make its way to the farm and I will replace it with a brown sofa to coordinate with the rug. I’ve also learned that a room in my house is never, ever finished. This room has several design aspects that challenged me. We’ve never had taxidermy in our living room. Allen’s pieces were always confined to his office. It took me a minute to balance the masculinity of his elk with my traditional but colorful style. It was hard to keep this room cheerful and not lean too far into the masculine. I love a moody room but I wanted our living room to reflect the whole family and I think it does! This room also can’t be accurately centered due the fireplace’s proximity to doors and walkways, which challenged me to create a faux center. I love to fill a room with chairs, which can be toeing a fine line with cluttered. I think I balanced it well, squeezing in seating for 10. It feels beautiful but not stuffy and I hope it welcomes everyone who enters our home warmly.
