[QUOTE="silverthwait, post: 304753, member: 103"]LOL! Two magazine photos stand out in my memory. One: a living room, stark and sharp and white, with a large bowl of oranges on the coffee table. The other living room was a was lush display of sofa, chairs, draperies, etc., all swathed in an absolutely lovely, very busy, flowery upholstery material in reds, oranges, greens, pinks, blues, etc., etc. My mother's comment on #1 - "I hope they have a spare pile of Granny Smiths available for when the oranges run out." Mine on #2 - "Can't wear my pink sprigged dress in there...or any pattern...or anything too casual...or too formal... My own rooms, like Greg's (although Very Different), are a mixture of an antique rope bed (3/4 size) to a pure white, metal card table from Ikea. (Gasp!) My prints range from Raphael to Reynolds to Spy to a huge, gorgeous print of Evelyn Nesbitt pre-bath, to an 80-year-old adorable gentleman about to dine on a "joint." And they all play nicely with each other![/QUOTE]
