I've been putting off a final posting on my living room re-design because I'm not sure that the room is complete. But while I consider some very small finishing touches, we're living in the room (appropriate, considering the name and all) and the more that I live with it, the more that I like it.
Feminist art not with-standing, the room is not overly girlish, which I like. The new sofa is the most comfortable seat in the house, which I love. The new chairs are scaled to suit me; also very comfortable. The new curtains (thanks, Mom) add color to the wood blinds at the windows, but they don't overwhelm, which I like.
I did not get an ottoman, thinking that I'd give that change a try. It did not suit, and I went to Ikea for an ottoman with a washable cover (essential under the circumstances). While I like the color, I'm not convinced that it's perfect for the room. I'd like another ottoman of sorts and am toying with my options.
The room is warm in tone, especially suitable for this year's very cold winter. But it doesn't feel oppressive, so I think the room will make the adjustment to the warmer seasons quite nicely. The room is welcoming and comfortable, which was my original goal. I am pleased with the outcome, so I am declaring the project a great success.
