The great room is where I spend most of my time when I am home or not in my corner office in the library. The TV is in here and sits on top of the bookcase /display area and fireplace mantel that runs the entire width of the room. There is a nice sized window in here that has wood blinds, as do the other windows in this area. It is a bright room, and sometimes depending on the time of year, the sun shines in and makes it difficult to see the TV. I have total privacy because the house is set into 7 acres of woodland, and I prefer no window treatments for the most part. In this room however I didn’t care for it with just the blinds, so I finally decided to put up two panels. I already had the curtain rod, so for very little, I think it now looks a bit more finished. My two pooches, Carter and Whitley both came in after I finished and immediately knew something was different and went right over to the window to check things out. My biggest critics, those two! Their opinion? A little change is good.
So there you have it, a small but quick change and I have to say I am enjoying it. Thanks for stopping by. Laters, charisse
really looks nice with the panels.
Thank you Margaret. I am quite happy, and the panels might even keep the wood blinds from getting quite so dusty!
Where did you get the leopard cover, Charisse? I’m not a window treatment person either as I like light and don’t like the dust they collect…but this was a wonderful addition to the room. Thank you!
I found the leopard print cover at JCP. Here is the link JCP leopard blanket I got the king sizes during a clearance sale for a bit less than the sale now, but I can tell you they are solo soft! I got a larger size than I needed thinking I could eventually use them as bed blankets when I get my sectional.
Isn’t it amazing how one new change can transform a room. I noticed that you have different end tables and lamps bedside your sofa. I love that concept and have done the same with my sofa and also in my bedroom, using different end tables I’m only sorry I didn’t carry through with the lamps. Beautiful room! I also have a throw on my sofa just in case Luci decides she needs a better spot for her slumber. She refuses to sleep on any bed I buy for her. Fussy girl.
This is a room always in transition. The sofa and love seat go a ways back from a formal room setting in the farmhouse, but both are in excellent condition so it is hard to think about doing something major. I really would prefer a sectional in this room, but not right now. The larger of the two end tables was an inherited piece. It is constructed of black and burled walnut with a leather top. The leather top needs replacement….on the project list. I have always seemed to prefer unmatched furniture, and now it is almost the norm. Luci and your sofa….you have a bigger problem….a giant breed dog that can be immovable! We do spoil our 4 legged kids for sure. Thanks for reading.
