Here are the pics. Converse amongst yourselves. We''ll reconvene shortly.

In other news, Segundo is telling Terzo stories. Here's a sample:
"Do you want to hear a story, little Terzo? Yes?
Once upon a time, Terzo spit up. The end!"
Terzo is doing the on-the-knees, rocking thing that is a precursor to crawling.
And Segundo and I baked chocolate chip cookies this morning. Go on, you can drool.

But I love your living room!
(as in, I'll be of no help here...)
SL
wait a minute, did you change the chairs and the sofa? As for slipcovers, can't you get stuff like that at Ikea...
SL, whose apartment looks like a 25 year old lives there.
As in, I still have the ugly (free) sofa given to me when my roommate got married which I don't even have a slipcover on...and I don't care if that's bad grammar!!!!!
I'm not much good at rearranging furniture unless I can stand in the room and move stuff around until it's a complete mess, and then somehow throw it back together. What if the couch were facing the fireplace with a chair on either side? That's the only reconfiguring I can think of, but I don't know how things would flow then. I also think you should have some colorful pillows on the couch, but that's neither here nor there with rearranging.
That's a very pretty blue <=ie. also no help.
What a lovely little story that was from your son - hehehe! They certainly know how to cut out the unnecessary words and get to the crux of a story!
Wednesday? Andrea -- have you MET me? Those cookies should consider themselves lucky to make it to tonight.
Not that you're not welcome to come over - I just can't promise cookies. Or at least not that batch...
I'm the worst interior decorator in the world. When we bought this house, my sister had to come down and pick out paint colors for me.
I love that Terzo story!
Switch sofa w/chairs. Can you put another piece of wood (a bit wider) on top of the radiator and use it as a sofa table to house a lamp, books, etc? Or is this your winter arrangement to allow the heat into the room?
I might set one chair off into the corner where bookshelf and lamp are now, to create a reading area, and also to create a hallway; using the other chair as a grouping with the sofa. Piano probably needs to stay where it is. You've got alot of doorways, fireplace, radiators to work with! I think you could use a square coffee table with this arrangement, but that might cut into the 'hall' too much. Is the other doorway an entry into your foyer? Is that the only way back into the kitchen (off the DR?) If so, an easy chair might not work there.
Nice House!
The room is charming.
I think you need Blackbird or Pea Soup to help, it looks like they both have exquisite taste. I love the blue walls (my son's room has the same blue but I'm going to change it to pale green).
You keep beating me to the post - I have photos of my horribly disorganised playroom/computer room and boring living room all ready for when I get up the courage on asking for interior decorating advice.
Oh goody! I would take rearranging furniture over chocolate chip cookies any day (no, really, it's a sickness).
I know nothing about pianos, but if it was possible to put yours where the CD (?) racks are, to the left of the fireplace, you could swap the chairs and the sofa around and have all the soft furniture focused on the fire and the piano and HOW down-home, grown-up comforting is that?
Also, I'm guessing that walking in and out of this space would be easier if it was through two chairs rather than around one sofa.
Thanks for letting me play at your house!
The blue is lovely, so that can stay. But you will have to take up a collection and fly me over there, preferably in early May, and I will tell you what to do with the rest.
(Horribly horribly suicidally jealous about Bethlehem).
Thank you for lovely compliment, lazy cow!
OK, y'all, collecting for Suse's airfare. And while we're at it - Lazy Cow's and Kim's and Bec's and...Jess' and Badger....and ....and....Oh, but it wasn't a dream!... And you - and you - and you - and you were there. OK, I need coffee.
I will never ever buy anything at IKEA ever again because everything I buy there FALLS APART.
I just switched th esofa and chairs before the pics, as the sofa and the piano on the same side of the room were making it very lopsided. Hermmmmm......
Is that -- gulp -- a chocolate chip cookie cake? Or just one really large cookie? I'll gladly come rearrange your furniture if you give me that whole damn cookie. Or another one just like it. Preferably with frosting on top.
Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner! Geezum, people,. there's a giant chocolate chip cookie on the screen in front of you...who gives a FUCK about my living room? THAT was just filler! Bookhart, it's just the tollhouse recipe but spread into a 10x15 pan instead of dropped into separate cooklies. MUCH easier. If you lived closer, you could come help me and Andrea eat it.
Um. Erm. I didn't MEAN to denigrate your efforts, my other sweet Internet ones...but chocolate chip cookies versus sofa? Cookie's gonna win every time.
Although I am calling them "cooklies" from now on. [Giggle.]
cooklies...I didn't comment on the cooklie b/c I was drooling too much. And can I just say it that I adore that picture of the clouds?
and that this vw is from the hinterlands or some other weird place that thinks I like typing 8 letters that make no sense....
I painted those. well actually i painted a whole 40x60 foot drop of them when i worked in theatre, and that's a chunk of it.
