Reader Decorating Dilemma: Linds B’s Brownstone Apt

Article or RSS item submitted by Ty Wenzel • Mar 17th, 2008 • Category: Interiors Exteriors | 52 views


Hi Decorno!

First let me say that I guess I’m joining a long line of “Decorno Stalkers” (again not to sound creepy). I love your taste and your sense of humor, everything you write makes me laugh out loud or it could have totally been something I said. (Aw shucks… thanks Linds! - Decorno)

So, here is my dilemma- my family room. I am in an apartment, so I can’t do much about the color of the walls as much as I would like to. Although, I have thought on occasion about painting but not sure how the landlord would feel about it. The main pieces in the room (couch, leather chair, tv stand) are staying for now, so I need some help on how to work with them. Some color choices, accessories, fabric, etc. One thing that sticks out to me are the curtains. I live on the first floor of a brownstone type building so I need some privacy, but also want to let light in. The windows are all curved and have large crown mouldings at the top making it hard for curtain rods. Should I keep these, or invest some time into making new ones? Any suggestions? I can handle it :)

Thank you for your answers or any help anyone could suggest.

Thanks,

LindsB
