And yes, those 'ball' fixtures are ridiculous :PElena Ingratta, Residential Saleshttp://www.4willis.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8076415493502414794.post-1533632524298221382012-03-14T08:42:48.199-07:002012-03-14T08:42:48.199-07:00Hi Claire I took a look at the first pic and will ...Hi Claire I took a look at the first pic and will take a look at the rest,but for now I would like to comment on this pic! You are right about what you see in the Magazines not every will like what they see therefore I take them as ideas and pick what I like! I agree with the curtains and Rod and area rug too! For me what I learned in furniture was you pick the sofa first and then the area rug and take colours from there great juming off point and easier to get accessories. Lighting is another hugh design factor that people cheap out on!! sometime if not most times brings the whole look together when you have the right light fixtures!! Just learned this one myself,I have been replacing all the lighting fixture in my own home one by one and it's not easy to pick,but what a difference! and drapery makes a hugh impact even for sound in a room as I just bought new thick drapes from Home Depot and they are floor to ceiling and what an impact on the whole room wow and the sound as well! Sometimes it's trial and error! Accessorizing just adds the finishing touches to the room and look your trying to achieve! I quickly took a look at the other pic's I just wanted to say that there is something to be said for Less is More!!! too much accessories is not a good thing! Two key things I say if its pleasing to the eye and looks good to you,after all it is your home!! Thanks Claire for letting me make my comments this is so cool I love it!shawn smith inglisnoreply@blogger.com
