The box was still there but much less noticeable. Right now it sticks out like a sore thumb, and yes, I also noticed it before I read anything or saw the close-up pic of it. I think your friend has lived with it long enough that she now doesn't notice it -- but she is the only one!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10807637131530462959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-86100271313562549712014-03-22T00:12:16.034-04:002014-03-22T00:12:16.034-04:00Box=ugly

The dressers and mirrored desk also have similar decorative feet. The circle carvings on the dressers and the rings on the nightstand mimic each other a bit.<br /><br />I have spent hours going over your various blogs. I love them. My husband and I then went through our house and rehung 3/4 of the paintings and various other wall ornaments. I have moved things around, added in some areas, deleted in others. My husband's comment was that there is no man cave area left in our house. It is all coming together as our home. YES!!!

With matching drapes? Because it really sticks out as it is now. I'm surprised your friend likes it, she seems to have better taste than that, normally. I do think the new room is going to be very pretty and can't wait to see it all finished, even if that won't happen 'til next year. Watch out, you may find yourself "unretired" when it's all done. :)pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13836431119239038983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-54560970659376466872014-03-21T00:40:43.396-04:002014-03-21T00:40:43.396-04:00Get rid of it!

As I am not a decorator at any level, it kind of has to stick out for me to see it.<br /><br />I think this home will be lovely and suit your friend to a T when it is finished. And I can see where it would be interesting to do a different style, especially when you get to work with someone you have so much fun with.

At least your friendship has stood the test of a few houses!!! I'm liking the style she's going for and am shooting for something similar in my own boudoir with a little more frenchiness thrown in. It's very floridian and calming. It's nice sometimes not to be overwhelmed with stuff, expecially in such a relaxed atmosphere. I also think this style suits the architecture of the house itself. It's the mark of the great decorator you are that you can get it right no matter what the style, much like the beautiful MB you finished up north.tdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09199794368872469039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-6074580234951159532014-03-20T19:25:58.525-04:002014-03-20T19:25:58.525-04:00I think that there is such a contrast with the col...I think that there is such a contrast with the colors in the floral drapes and the beige box that it sticks out like a sore thumb. If you pick a softer color and design in a creamy, softer look it will fade into the background.

I'm not saying that it's not fun to step outside the box (or hideous window box) once in a while but none of this says 'cozy' to me. Maybe if I had multiple houses I'd want something different, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
