Hmmm the brown lampshade with blue and yellow looks good, but I still don't like the tan-brown pillow. LOL I do like the blue paisley one Annie found. Isn't that a lovely lamp? It was from a site called Bellacor. eta. As a matter of fact I wouldn't keep either pastel pillows.

Here is drape colour you could use as a panel with the sheers. That would warm up the room too.

hmm, love the brown shade, but it doesn't really work with the art on the left side. i like the blue, but you might be getting to matchy matchy. you could keep the brown shade but bring in some more brown like with a throw and change the frame on the pic.

A chenile throw tossed over the corner of the sofa is a great idea. Adding a panel of blue on each end of the window is, too. Of course color coordinated with the other blues.

Those pillows are great but the light brown still doesn't work.

I love Gracie's yellow lamp. I am thinking a bright yellow pillow, perhaps even a bright lime green, might work.

The lamp fits Julie's space for sure! Look at it closer Here. (Juju, trivia is up)

I don't like the browns (either the light brown pillow or the brown shade). The bring the entire tone of the room down. I like both the light blue and saturated blue pillows, but I'd bring in ANOTHER color. Either bright yellow, or bright green. Even purple, as long as it's a saturated purple, or a wine color. I agree, too, about adding height! Everything is all about waist high. Get a large vase and fill it with tall green bamboo. Get a really tall dracena. Add a bowl with flowers in the coffee table. Do a rug (really a rug would look nice under that coffee table). But colors! I do think you need to bring in bright colors. The blue in the striped furniture is a muted blue. Along with the soft tones in the flooring, woodwork in the tables, and the walls, it's just sorta there. Nothing POPS! Do your cats eat plants? How about a lovely big pottery bowl filled with a bunch of small plants on the coffee table or end table? (BTW, nice change of color for the cat... from white to B&W! <grin>)

get Gracie's lamp and play off the colors in that for accents. cost is right about different levels. like the idea of a rug too. a big old fern or ficus behind the lamp in the corner would be great and give lots of height too. it would look great behind Gracie's lamp.

WHich corner for the ficus? I happen to have one upstairs in the guest room. (hmmm, guest room. Let's hope soon we don't have a guest room anymore!!! Hey I am supposed to be taking my mind OFF of that subject!!!) Here are 2 more shots; (it is amazing how the animals come out whenever I pull the camera out!)
ALSO: is the arrangement of furniture the best layout???

Put the ficus in the corner between the 2 couches. I think the arrangement of furniture is good, you just need to accessorise Putting up dark paneled curtains will help cozy that wall up and have them go to the floor, also have the sheers go to the floor as well. A table runner on the window table will be nice to to blend into the curtains and then get some accent pieces for that table i.e. vases, candles etc. In your dining room, what about a large, large mirror with sconces on either side. I find your pictures are nice, but are looking small in the spaces they are in. Oh and as for the dog..they do say you should have a something black in each room. So I think you are good to go there lol
