Finding the bamboo coffee table is definitely helping this room move right along! I don't know if I will ever stop thrifting my furniture. People ask me where the best place to buy furniture is and honestly, nothing beats a good quality second hand score in my mind. For accent furniture I will try World Market, Target, Wayfair, IKEA, etc. Where do you like to purchase furniture from?
Hey there. Have you tried to put your couch on the otherside of the "facing" the window?
I've been decorating for over 30 years and I try to never put a sofa against a window or wall.
I encourage you to reverse what you have and allow the sofa to face the window with your chairs near the window.
It's very inviting and allows for a cozy nook.😊
I love second hand furniture too. I like going to estate sales and believe it or not some,of my coolest best finds were found on the side of the road for FREE!I can't get over the nice antiques people give away.
I like a table by the piano. So interesting to seeeverything come together. I think the more plain curtains will be better.
I like the curtains with the picture. If put the other slipper chair to the left of the cabinet below the TV. The couch pulled out looks great!
I like the pattern of the block print curtains in the living room. It makes the whole room look collected with all of the layers.
The office mat-furniture protector on the sofa is BRILLIANT.
I love the patterned curtains. If you think it’s too busy you could swap either the picture or frame for another with a simpler frame. I think the round table looks a bit small for the end of the sofa. It might go well between two chairs and something a bit larger with some storage at the end of the sofa.
I would wait on the little side table color until you see the gilded bamboo coffee table.
I think white/cream linen curtains would look fabulous instead of the patterned ones, though they're gorgeous, too. Use them in your kitchen! Also, I vote for keeping the color of the small round end table rather than painting it gold.
The white linen looks so soft and calm with the green velvet couch...such a gentle look when first coming into the house.
Ideas:
💡 Put a potted tree in the spot by the piano.
💡 Don't paint the small table, but do paint the corner unit to match the small table.
💡 Put the couch back against the wall and scootch the rugs farther underneath the couch until the center medallion is where the coffee table will go (basically center the rug on the seating area instead of the other way around). The rug will make it feel like it's own little "room within a room" (with a walkway between it and the TV wall).
💡 Place a pair of chairs on either end of the rug. So two pairs of side by side chairs across the rug from each other (coffee table between & couch on the long side).
If all this works, it should give you back the hiding place for your dining table, seating for six or seven, not visually block off the view from the entry, and a path for traffic. Oh and it will take care of the "boring" corner by the piano with something that would be hard for the dog to knock over when getting in or out of the window seat.
I thought of the potted plant idea too! Anne
Yes! to the patterned curtains, paint the small table black to balance the dark trunk, gold accents only on the coffee table are my suggestions. Beautiful room!
I love the curtains with subtle pattern. I think it ties the room together. Beautiful no matter what you decide!
I totally think the curtains should stay! That’s the first thing I noticed-how beautiful they looked with the blue walls. Just gorgeous.
Love the idea of white linen on windows. Yes, paint that small table gold 😊
Thank you for your vote of confidence!❤
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your pinch pleat curtains….
I agree! The linen feels more fresh and spring/summer.
I love the patterned drapes. The sheen is luxurious with the velvet. The gold guided frame gives the same feel. Congratulations on your coffee table find. Home needs to be usable, inviting, and user friendly. The raw wood side table, chipped stool and other well used pieces make the room feel approachable and welcoming.
I love in the end when you put the dog painting above the sofa and you move the end table near the piano. That way it no longer needs to be painted and the wood end table works next to the sofa. I also love the coffee table as is. It's beautifully.
I’m a big fan of moving a couch off the wall. Works beautifully in this room.
I absolutely love to watch your videos. Nothing cookie-cutter about your home at all! When I was younger I followed all the latest trends then quickly grew tired of it or thought how much I didn't love it after living with it. Eventually I just bought what I loved and began to "piece" together my home. And almost all of those things were second hand and thrifted. My home burned to the ground 2 years ago and all those unique finds are now gone. But I've started again with thrifted pieces and am slowly furnishing my new(old) home. Will it ever be finished? No and that's okay. I'm loving the process. And I LOVE that green velvet sofa. What a beautiful piece!
The morph video sounds really interesting. I’d love to see that and also more screen time on how the room is set up when fulfilling the other functions!
Yes to the gold table!! No the drapes are not too busy with the painting. They read as a solid colour. Fabulous room!
I’m sure your living room will be tastefully and beautifully styled. It’s your own home and should be wholly what you and your husband love. Your viewers’s input is superfluous, Sarah. You’ve got it, Girl!
Hi Sarah. I vote for the white linen curtains. I agree it looks very European. And it's a classic combination with them being white and blue walls.
I have always preferred light colored, solid curtains. However, in this case, I LOVE what the subtle pattern on your current curtains does for your room! I think linen would look fine, but a little boring and predictable. The pattern however adds subtle, unique character.
Absolutely keep the curtains you have, paint lamp gold, no not too much pattern at all. It’s tiny. It’s almost reading as a solid but I love it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I think you need the patterned curtain because everything in the room is a solid color. You need the diversity, don’t know what fabric you’re going to do on pillows, which could make a difference. The blue walls are beautiful.
I totally agree with you. The curtains and the wall color! I suggest the chairs be reupholstered in a floral or plaid, something needs to pop besides just adding pattern pillows. I am no designer, but I do watch a lot of decorating shows and my fav designer has always been Sarah Richardson. She does great things with fabric.
I love the colors you have chosen for the room. If I would rearrange the furniture, I would move the piano to across from the couch, move the dresser to where the trunk is now and move trunk to the other side under the window. Get a round dinning table and use those gorgeous chairs around. I would create a dinning space next to that window where dog lays/ chandelier area. And have a coffee table in the middle of room. I feel like that will give you multiple functions without having to constantly remove and add table. But I am not a pro, I just love to constantly move furniture around in my house for fun lol
I like both curtains. I’d use the print ones in the fall and winter and change them out for the linen ones for the spring and summer months
I like the way the patterned curtains pick up the green of the velvet couch.
I LOVE how your Livingroom is turning out!!!! 💖💖💖💖 The Wall Color makes it feels so cozy & inviting!! LOVING your New Couch!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩. Looking forward to seeing how you show us how to use a room in multiple ways!! I live in a Studio Apartment, so your ideas would be very helpful! 🤗
I love the way you think! I love that couch! I have two gold velvet love seats in my living room! My husband always says “ you just never know where you will find the furniture in our house”! Lol. You give me inspiration. Thank you.
I like that you pulled the couch out. Perhaps a low profile console behind, simple, not heavy, maybe glass topped? Keep your drapes & tie the throw pillows in with alittle of that fabric also. Would the dining table tuck behind the piano perhaps? And I like the larger table at the end of the couch, the small round one seemed lost & too small. Love the color pallet and layers of pattern, very European! Bravo😊
Hi Sarah. Have been waiting to see your new living room. The first thing that caught my eye was the beautiful picture above the couch. The pattern curtains set off the couch . The rugs work well. Love the new look!
Loved the content! Your room is coming together beautifully. Coffee table looks great. I like the pattern curtains, but that’s me!
Beautiful home❤️ Have you tried swapping the piano and the beautiful dresser. The dresser could maybe go on the other side to allow for a dining table to be placed around the window seat. Or maybe on an angle to mimic the other cabinet/ book shelf from the other corner of the room.I really like the couch brought forward on the carpet and maybe those wonderful chairs on an angle set back ,to allow walking room. But still allow conversation . How wonderful to be able to play around with your space. Beautiful ❤️
I like the linen for the curtains. I don’t think it’s too much pattern with the other curtains, I just don’t know if it’s the right pattern for that room. It’s looking SO good!!!
It is fun seeing your excitement as you find the right piece.
I like the patterned curtains and think the table would look good in gold. You could also add a floor lamp on the side of the piano
Sarah, I am so happy you adding color. I did notice in your intro in the bedroom, it looks like your pot lights are coming away from the ceiling a bit. It could have been the lighting or camera angle, too, I guess. I think you were always meant to have French Country decor in your house. Your kitchen always looked more that style.
As a child of the 70's, I have loved that MCM, clean lines, mod style. In the late 80s when I was married and we bought our house, country was the "style" of the day. Geese, hearts in everything, lace curtains.......I tried it, but have gone back to my original love. However, if I live long enough, my dream is to have a little she shed in the yard that I can decorate in comfy, florally, stuffed and cushioned English cottage style, 🤭.
I like the curtains with the painting - I think the curtains are a nice contrast to the wall color. A tall plant would be really nice next to the piano vs. more woodwork. Skinnier too and would give texture ... I like the end table in the color it is. I think it's a nice light touch against the walls. I love hearing your tips. I never knew that about chair heights. You are a wealth of knowledge!
Keep the pattern curtains with the ornate framed piece I love multiple patterns and colors. I think it’s perfect.
I love 💕 a bamboo piece to give that well travelled and collected look!
I love the curtains, however I think they may be too much once you get the pillows on the sofa. We have a similar living room, and you have great windows have you thought about not doing any curtains. Just allow the Great Wall color and molding to come through. You then could hang some amazing art work throughout the room. Just a thought… I appreciate your channel very much, and you have taught me so much. Thank you!!
I like your idea of painting the small table gold; it would reflect that beautiful decorative painting between the curtains. It's only my opinion, but I love the curtains with the picture. You have enough solids with the couch and chairs. Beautiful!
Also the little thin book case would be pretty blue, I agree with you...living room is beautiful BTW!!
If you go with the white linen curtains, you could incorporate more bold patterns in the sofa throw pillows. :)
My suggestion for a dining area would be to turn the window seat into a banquette seat and add a narrow table in front with a couple of small chairs. Maybe take out the piano.
I don't know how difficult this is for you but I'm really enjoying all these videos ❤❤❤
I like the curtains you already have. I think the table will look good with gold.
I didn’t have a dedicated place to homeschool, so I was always trying to hide or morph or conceal the space we used in the dining room. Eventually I’ve embraced that it’s our lifestyle. It has earned a permanent place in our living room. Therefore, it took some time to purge the primary colors of “learning”. I now love the space and am happy it’s not hiding from company.
I wonder if the same could be true of your dining space.? You have a great eye for pulling things together. I would be all the more interested in seeing how you could mesh your dining and living room together - perhaps you could use a tufted corner bench that doubles as entertainment seating? Just a thought. Obviously what you’re doing meets a need. Just wanted to share the blessing we’ve experienced once we surrendered to the space we’ve been given. God gave me the grace to adapt it in a way I now love all the more.
The new coffee table is wonderful. The segments between shoots is cute with the speeding sports car. Have to run and get those thrifted finds. 😊 Love your channel Sarah.
I would paint the little side table gold and I really love the pinch pleat curtains that you made. What a lovely room! I do think that the curtains you made have a very english feel . Love them!❤ Anything that you choose will be beautiful :)
Love your wall colors. I would also paint the ceiling the same color.
Definitely keep the patterned curtains. It is a subtle pattern. Can't wait to see the table after you paint it gold. Julia
That blue is everything, funnily enough it’s so similar to the color my kitchen cabinets
Like new table. Suggest pulling piano away from the wall and hiding table behind that.
...I would pull the corner of the piano out from the corner a bit..."round out," the squareness.
I prefer the motif curtain in the window and i paint the table gold as you say love your style of decoration 😊
I love the new coffee table. I am not a fan of the trend of painting the walls, window trim, molding,etc. all the same color [everyone is entitled to their opinion]. I feel that the pattern of the drapes adds some dimension to the room with it being painted all one color. If you want to paint that corner bookshelf, how about a green to play off of the sofa rather than blue? You have a great design eye and talent and know that you will make it your own. Thanks for taking us along the room make-over journey!
I also like the printed curtains. And the last picture (I think it was black and white) you held up between the curtains at the end of the video, looked awesome.
Consider building an outdoor dining room for spring, summer, and fall? My front porch is just big enough to hold a dining table and chairs, and because I was able to find a durable used table for little cost, it works perfectly for my tiny floodplain. Lighting all the candles at night under the porch roof feels better than I expected.
I like the pattern curtains. The coffee table looks good. Love the color of your living room.
Beautiful ! My vote is the white linen curtains!
I love linen. But I do love your pattern curtains!
What a nice day out picking up your coffee table. 🥰
I love the round coffee table.
I think the curtains are beautiful either way, but the linen definitely makes the painting stand out more while still adding texture. I don’t think you should paint the side table gold since that would probably detract from the painting as a focal point. It also seems to match the corner bookcase (not sure if they’re the same color) which balances the room nicely.
I totally agree with the linen curtains! Can't wait to see your room transformation (to dining room) video! It's super fun to see so many new videos from you!😊
I love the curtains you made, but I think the white curtains brighten up the room.
Did you learn how to float your furniture when you took the online Rhodec course from Guildhall university in London? Move the sofa out from the wall. Do the linen curtains and loose the trunk. Put the French style table where the white country table is at the end of the sofa, the one you want to guild. It's too country looking to guild. The French table that you have in front of the sofa as a filler for now would look much nicer there with a different lamp. I really like the thrifted bamboo coffee table. That would look nice guided. Please move the truck to another room, and move the sofa away from the wall, and do the linen curtains.
I like the block print curtains in that room.❤
Love the shirt dress!! Paint the lamp gold. White linen curtains.. yes!!
Oops.. sorry.. I heard lamp not table..
I think it all looks so beautiful together. This room has a Pierce and Ward vibe to it. Beautiful 💙
The painting is NOT too busy. I think you should paint the table a dark color. The coffe table is wonderful and I think you should definitely guild it. The curtains are the best thing in the room. Soft squishy pillows on the rather hard sofa?
Especially love this vid becaue room is NOT finished! So good to see the process more! Ty so mch for sharing this level❤
I would do the white linen curtains and paint the table gold.
I LOVE the neutral pattern on the curtains. I don’t know how the side table would look gilded, but you might consider an aged distressed cream washed and wiped back darker
wood to balance the dark on the other side of the couch. It would contrast nicely with the piano as well.
Perhaps use the dining table with a nice table cloth over as the console, thereby eliminating the need for another table behind your sofa
Pinch pleat curtains and wait for coffee table to paint table!♥️
Love the new coffee table!
Sarah, I love the new format for your videos!
I love your style and how the room is coming together! Have you considered maybe putting a beautiful drop leaf table in front of the window seat? I t could serve as a side table for the window seat and then at dinner you could open it up and pull the chairs over for everyone to sit around.
My friend and I were just talking about how we inherited our grandmother’s drop leaf tables. When we’d spend holidays at my grandparents apartment, they’d open up the table in the oversized entry hall to be our dining room. We had many a feast at that table!! It was then returned to a beautiful hall table when we were done.
Love the shirt dress outfit. You are definitely giving me Lydia Millen Gordon vibes 😊 I love her style.
Projects like this are so exhausting but so worth it. Love your direction and colors. The room to me feels very heavy on the right side of room(back to entry door). The couch has visual weight. The piano has visual weight. Anyway to balance that? I'd love to know if the piano would fit where the chest is? Would couch fit in front of window seat (pulled away from)? Would couch work on opposite wall? So hard to tell in video. It's gonna be wonderful!
Would love to see the linen curtains. The pillows would add to the
Oh sweetheart !! It all looks so beautiful! ❤
Omg, that space is stunning!!❤❤❤
Love the vase!
While I ADORE the beautiful frame of the picture you originally had between the windows, I really really LOVE the picture of the woman you hung up in the end. It just seems to belong there to my eyes.
Either of the curtains look beautiful in this space. But for some reason, I like the linen curtains with that picture of the woman and the block print curtains with the fancy framed picture. But no matter which way you roll in this, it's going to be lovely.
I LOVE the new coffee table and I love the idea of gilding it. I think it will be perfect for that room. I even like the height of it next to the sofa and chairs.
I like the table you originally had between the chairs and in front of the sofa, moved to the side of the sofa. It has a bit more weight and presence than the other one and it suits that space better to my eye. As far as painting it gold. What about gilding the top and leaving the legs in the color they are now.
The sofa being pulled away from the wall looks a lot better but I agree, you'll probably want a sofa table back there. Did you ever try putting your dining table in the fireside room? If not will it fit somewhere in your pantry or you little supply closet?
While I loved how you had your house decorated before, I'm loving seeing the changes you are making too. They all suit your home, but are just different styles to meet the changes and chapters in your life.
I like the white linen curtains. Have you thought about sanding the table to its natural wood? I'm loving all the natural wood tones lately! Your room will be beautiful whatever you decide.
❤
You have the magic decorating touch for sure, love it! New coffee table is lovely! Linen curtains/drapes
I’m thinking would be a go👏👏 and you mentioned printed sofa pillows too!
I think the curtains look perfect ❤
I'm enjoying your channel thoroughly. Your space is stunning. You had my attention when you said that you transform this room into different "rooms" based on need. I can't wait to learn more about that. I have a small cottage with only one main living space that is where everything needs to happen, so I can't wait to see how you go about repurposing your space. Oh, and those club accent chairs are gorgeous. Could you share the source if there is one? Many thanks!
Oh i like the curtains you have up. Not too much pattern. Love them ❤
Love the patterned drapes!
Love your suggestion to consider the view from the adjacent room! Your trunk is perfect under that window with the casters giving it that height. I vote YES to painting the table. And YES to the linen drapes!
And it's so lovely for you to let us in on your process...seems so counter culture and so 'real life'! Your 'let it sit for a week' after changing arrangements is brilliant.
The curtains were good. I wouldn’t change them. You said you were going for dark academia, which is English, and the English love multiple patterns. I would add even more patterns. 😂 Coffee table is perfect. I would add clear glass. No gilding for me in that room. Just my unprofessional opinion.
Love the new table and the furniture placement….. love it all ❤
Love the curtains leave the patterned ones hanging.. i would paint the side table gol3
Paint the side table, leave the curtains. I think the coffee table is perfect.
Look at how Madeline Olivia styles her Cornish cottage, with multiple patterns, very English country, not my style but I love to look at it. If you took the piano out and put an extendable oval table at the back of the room, would that work? It could be styled with books and a vessel during the day and extend at night. A beautiful walnut pedestal table would look beautiful.
I always wondered about your dining room. 😊 Can't wait to see what you do to change it.
Love the coffee table ❤
I vote for keeping the patterned curtains. They are not too much at all. 💚
Love the coffee table.
Your dress is adorable, Sarah! ❤
Hello Sarah👋 your and Absolute insperation. Woukd so love to come to 9ne of your retreats, only down fall im in Australia ha ha. love the patterned curtains id leave them as is. I would paint the little table gold ❤
Drapes are perfect❤️
