It seems yellow is a more popular color than I realized. lol <br /><br />Chris, it *is* an eclectic assortment of furnishings, isn't it? lol That just happened, the result of not being able to just go into a furniture store and buy a whole roomful of furniture. But I like the mismatched look; it makes a room look like it's grown organically from the life of the family who lives there. . . which is exactly what did happen. :-)<br /><br />MSW Mom Jan, we don't own a television, but we do watch videos or stream from Netflix on our computers. We have never had cable or satellite TV and there was so little on network TV that we wanted to see that we just ditched the set entirely. TV has never been a high priority in our house. One of the consequences has been that we rarely see commercials, and one of the consequences of *that* is that our kids (and we ourselves) are not inundated by pop culture and are generally oblivious to "the latest thing." If we choose to partake of some aspect of pop culture, it's usually because we've thought about it and purposefully chosen it. It's been one of the best decisions we've ever made. . . or stumbled into by the grace of God, I should say.Woman of the Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281605927650100295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2696514072851165531.post-10362169597382376522011-07-09T11:39:33.969-04:002011-07-09T11:39:33.969-04:00I love all of it.

I am certainly no decorator (!) but some other ideas are candles or a pretty bowl or vase with oranges, lemons, or other fruit in it. Is your family tv free or do you watch television in another room?Softiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11471449618465917430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2696514072851165531.post-85048625537467174552011-07-09T08:10:42.713-04:002011-07-09T08:10:42.713-04:00What a lovely room.

Our living room is a shade of yellow now--sort of Italian yellow--and I like it so much that we bought the same paint to paint our new living room--that will be happening soon.Quotidian Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15621964632808884901noreply@blogger.com
