I like casual but elegant furniture. I'm trying to decide if I'll like this set. The people at the store think it might be too formal for my taste, but I think it looks kind of country. Thanks for any advice.

It's sort of a "queen anne meets the country cousin" style. This is actually a poorly conceived furniture design; it looks like it's trying awfully hard to be a formal "Queen Anne" set (the turning of the legs, the dark mahogany etc), but those horizontal slats on the chairs are pure country.

This is not casual in the least ~ it's the chair backs that are giving you the illusion of being a country set.

Let Lawrance be your one-stop destination for Southern California's most complete collection of contemporary and modern furniture and home ...

it's a small room, maybe 12 x 12, with a French door (to a little sunroom), the stairs to the second floor, and 2 entrances. Ten feet may seem like no big deal, but they're a challenge. How can I decorate the top 2/3 of this room? It's bright yellow with a crystal chandelier......at the entranceway, there are 2 round columns also 10 feet high, any suggestions to warm things up? I have hardwood floors...thanks!

I've seen high ceilings taken care of in two ways.

1) A wide wallpaper border that is not too intrusive, or

2) Buy some nice moulding to place around the perimeter of the entire room near the ceiling. Drop it 1 1/2 - 2 ft. and paint the moulding and the portion above it the same color as the ceiling.

The second would be my choice for you since the room, with columns and chandelier sounds rather formal for a sun room.
Good luck...it sounds like a pretty room!

Please help us design/arrange our ackward living-room/dining-room. We currently have the Morgan Full Sleeper by Levitz (84" by 37") and a 42" round glass top iron dining table. We would like to add more seating, an area rug, a bookcase, a flat screen, a small serving table and a small bar cabinet. Please help us decide what pieces of furniture to buy and where to put it. Here's our floorplan: http://www.georgetownmews.com/floorplans /unitAC.html

dining room:

center the table under your light fixture.

put the serving table or buffet under the window opposite your kitchen door.

look for a bar cabinet that fits into a corner. place it in the corner where your dining room and kitchen meet, to the left of the kitchen doorway.


living room:

place your (really beautiful) sofa near the large living room window (doorway?), running parallel to that wall with at least three feet of clearance between the back of the sofa and the wall. this gap will serve as your circulation path to and from the stairs. (let the sight lines of the stair entry guide you.) center it within the 12'4" width of the living room so that you will have adequate clearance on either side for a walkway.

opposite the sofa, place your flat screen tv, centered within the room--not within the 8'+ of wall left over after the doorway. use something, perhaps a bookcase, plant, lamp, art, to balance this "off-centered" look on the right of the tv.

the 9' wall opposite your stairs would be a great place for a bookcase or extra seating or both. if you want to stick to the morgan collection, use the cocktail ottoman with elegant shelves above. (begin shelving at least 4' from floor.)

the wall adjoining your stairs is a good place for larger seating such as a love seat (including the morgan loveseat) or two chairs (smaller than the morgan chairs) with a small end table between.

find a round area rug about 8' in diameter to bring your room together and mirror the round shape of your dining room table. other circular accents (like an endtable) are good, but don't go overboard (and don't use a round coffeetable).

ultimately, your choice in for additional seating and it's position will depend on how important tv viewing is for you. if it's really important, try the loveseat. less important, use two chairs and angle them for conversation. the ottoman suggestion stems from a goal to add flexible seating to that wall without obstucting movement. similar pieces will do the same thing, or seating here can be omitted altogether and replaced with large bookcases.

if your window is sunny and will cause glare on your tv, this entire scheme can be rotated once counter-clockwise and mirrored. this means sofa against the stair wall with tv opposite. bookcases/seating on the wall opposite the large window. chairs or loveseat in front of the window, perhaps angled for tv viewing. this configuration feels less spacious, but some people (including me) really hate glare.

i hope this helps. (it was fun for me!) if you need more help, send me an email.
