Yes the art work has to go, carpet, wall paper, table, and too small of a lamp. This could be a beautiful room. As it is I would find it too jarring.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09596133690738976448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594508409437632905.post-54790612520087179122010-01-12T07:14:22.913-08:002010-01-12T07:14:22.913-08:00I liked the bed combined with the style of the lam...I liked the bed combined with the style of the lamp and side table...all other elements look out of place to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594508409437632905.post-90031679094869476012010-01-11T09:28:10.274-08:002010-01-11T09:28:10.274-08:00No.No.Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09541771859584351729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594508409437632905.post-21508907423320007592010-01-10T11:18:32.072-08:002010-01-10T11:18:32.072-08:00I think there are too many patterns.

If this were a top-designer room odds are there would be oooooos 'n ahhhhhs by some. <br /><br />There are elements I do like. For example the Headboard; namely the way it is upholstered though not particularly fond of the fabric. <br /><br />In a nutshell, I'm afraid for my personal taste and regardless if it were the work of a top famous Interior Designer it wud be 'two thumbs down'. Just call me a rebel.

Ok, the curtain panels (shortened)and the lamp and the rug can stay, but the rest belongs in two or three different rooms. Reminds me of a college kid's first apartment and they've just thrown together whatever stuff they had plus what mom and grandma dug out of their basements.
