Im Loving Rachael Ray

My problem is that my new living room lay out lacks intimacy and looks like a display, not a place to hang out. So one time, alone at home, i decided to move the sofa far from the wall and place it in front of the entertainment area. I notice that the living room now looks filled up but not cluttered. I so love the new layout because it envibes intimacy. Enjoy...

This is before, boring, cold and unhappy. The furnitures and upholsteries are on the same color thats why it tends to sink over the blue walls. The blue walls are overshadowing the living room making it the focal point of the room. The living room is dull and uninviting... But now with the addition of colors, the room becomes brighter, cheerful and inviting. Getting color inspiration from the artwork, injection of orange color, compliments the existing blue walls making the furnitures popped out from the wall and get noticed. Now its the furnitures which is the focal point of the room and not the blue wall. The artwork becomes part of the room and not just an added piece. Addition of green on the pillows and green rug is a nice contrast on the orange but brings the citrusy and fun on the space. Result is an alive space, fun and inviting. Not boring at all!!!

from this one....the all blue wall color to this one...making this one as the featured wall... do not afraid to go for bold color choices...it can make a difference...

This is the updated look...not a polished look but i know i had started it already...

will i go for a resort/cottage look, or an urban/contemporary look...?

My mother was so supportive of my ideas, she made some pillow cases to match my bench makeover. She even designed two pillows to have a different but coherent look. How i love the center pillow that matches my dimensional art piece. I also took some pictures of my buddha collections. I felt so wonderful looking at it. I hope i can still purchase some more. I love it!
