We also admire the clean lines of the couch positioned next to a vintage, floral chair. It's a great mixture of colors with the neutral toned couch balancing out the seating area. A footstool adds a bit of charm to the space and a zebra print rug ties it all together. While the adjoining space is open, it gives the appearance of a separate room with it's textured brick walls. A bookcase and rug add to the coziness of the area, where Toni creates a multi-functioning dining room. In the bedroom, we found a relaxing zone to retreat--complete with green walls and a fireplace decorated with twinkling lights. Our favorite element in the bedroom (besides the color combo of green and red) is the mirror placed against the wall. It's shape and location makes for an interesting and inspiring design element.

Wow. The electric blue really makes that art pop. And I like how you went sort of neutral and vintage with the rest of the living room. It looks like you could use one more chair to round out the seating, but it's hard to tell from just the picture. But whatever--cool place.
what a gorgeous place! :D
what is that paint colour called?
i also like the blue & how it makes the artwork pop. but i wonder why the couch & chair are pushed up against the walls. it looks like the room is big enough to float them with the rug defining the area.
Someone likes accent walls! ;)
I like some of the things in the rooms but hate the arrangement. It may conventional but I think architecture should influence how furniture and art is arranged.
I also think that rug is horrible and shouldn't be centered in the room like that. It makes the furniture look too small and too close to the wall.
Love this living room!
no to the blue wall, yes to that little yellow/green chair in the corner. also not a fan of the rug, doesn't seem to fit. i'd expect to see faux african decor all over or something...luckily there isn't any, but still...something else would go better i think.
Gorgeous colors on the accent walls...
ya, what is it with the animal print rugs I see all the time?
2 weeks!
Grad students!
That's pretty impressive.
For freebies and second-hand stuff, that's pretty amazing! I'm actually liking the rug... it's silly, in a good way... and I'm a big fan of using what you have. Great art and I love the red console.
Rearranging furniture is free. :)! My suggestions is to try grouping the "living" furniture around the rug, moving the coffee table to the center of the rug, moving the couch away from the wall toward the center of the room and closer to the table, and moving the chair to a corner opposite the couch and closer to the table.
Thank you for the paint colour :)
I love this. Fun, funky, personal. For people who are "new to the decorating thing" you've sure done a great job. I would totally live here.
