I REALLY need your help blogger friends!
Seriously!
After taking down the Christmas tree & decorations....it really hit me how dissatisfied I am with this part of our family room......yuk! I'm embarassed to even show it!
What does it need? Be nice please....I can hear you....bulldozer.....start over.....just please help!
First of all, the sectional has to stay where it is and as much as I'd love to not have it there or anywhere for that matter......for now, DH's recliner needs to stay where it's at too......he does ALOT for me and he's already given up his hunting cabinet to put a dry sink in it's place.....took nearly 12 years :), but.....anyhow.......this is a little room folks.....as you can see it presents quite a challenge!!!!

I think it needs all the stuff off the sectional wall and the short wall by the window taken down....then,I'm thinking a tall slender piece of furniture (don't know what color, though?) needs to go on the short wall (by the window) or in the corner behind the recliner (where the ladder w/ quilts is).......?? Ugggghhhhh!!!!!
AND/OR........some type of long bulky shelf over the sectional with lots of neat prim/colonial
type stuff......OR a wall cabinet like a long horizontal shaped one with doors? or no doors?
I'm SOOOOOO CONFUSED!!!!!!
I'm also a visual learner so if you have pictures or links please add them on if you could!
I'd appreciate it so much!!!
I have stuff in storage that I might be able to use or move stuff from another room!
DH could build what I need to go where I need it!!
I just need your wonderful ideas! Keep in mind I would like a bit more of a Colonial/prim
look than what's here(most definitely).....I also like hints of that old Aqua color here and there.... You'll notice the dry sink is that color and other elements around the entire LR/DR area as well....
I'm also going to post pictures of the other parts of the room so you can get a better idea of what everything looks like......it's not a huge room.....but it's what I have to work with..... :)
I can hardly wait to have your help!!!.....I really want to get this in shape and show you all what you've helped me to accomplish!
Thank you all so much!!!
So put your "thinking caps" on and let me know! O.k??
Sincerely....

Okay here is an idea......I absolutely LOVE your kitchen.....so what if you do some of the beadboard in your family room like a wainscoting type of wall? About 40 inches up? Or I am in the process of doing our front rooms in beadboard about 3/4 of the way up the wall with a rail across the top. I hope you can visualize this. Work off of your kitchen colors and some of decrating ideas you used in there. Just a thought! ~Beth~
I don't see a thing wrong with it!
Do you mean rearranging or more?
I think your room looks nice. I think if you painted the walls..it would help it look more prim! :)
I think over time...as you keep moving stuff and such...it will keep improving..but what you have looks lovely! :)
