That’s the problem we kept running into when trying to figure out what to do with our room, glad to know we were on the right track! We are hoping to get some shopping done next week and can’t wait to get our room closer to completion. Thanks again! :)

Hey Linda,

So glad to hear that everything’s coming along! And you know, we originally thought that a big sectional would be the way to go with such a large seating area but there was no good way for us to place it without feeling like we were blocking something. No matter where we moved it around on paper, it always felt like it was either blocking the pass-through part of the room (which you definitely want to feel open and not like a narrow corridor) or the fireplace (not good!) or the gorgeous sliders on the left. That’s why after we considered that option we moved on to the floor plan and the furnishings that we suggested above – just for a more open layout with style, function and balance to spare. Hope it helps!

The built-ins are being worked on at the moment, so it’s not done yet. But I read another comment about throwing a sectional into the room. Do you think the room could handle it? If so, what kind would you recommend buying and how would you position it in the room?

So sorry about the mix up. Actually in her letter Linda writes that she wants to keep the wall color, so in the case of this mood board we didn’t recommend any paint for her since she wanted to maintain the current color. However Linda actually dropped in with the paint info for another commenter, so if you scroll back through the comments you can see that the color is Tortilla by Kelly Moore. Hope it helps!

Sorry, I must be blind but I don’t see the link above the mood board. I see a link to everything but the paint.

Just a note for anyone ordering the rug – we just got it for our bedroom, and while the description says “gold, beige, and bronze,” the actual rug is more…brown, camel, and grayish khaki!! Cool tones instead of warm – totally didn’t show up that way on my computer screen, either. Regardless, it’s gorgeous!!

Fortunately, we ordered the rug before we painted, so we’re just shifting to a cooler tone, but it was definitely unexpected!
