Pass It On… asked:
I have an ugly ’70s style’, spindle-looking support column in the middle of my living room. Is there an inexpensive and creative way to make it ‘blend’ more with the room? The decor I have now is kind of an old world “art nouveau” look with a lot of wrought iron scrollwork pieces (lamps, wall hangings, etc…). The colors are sage green (furniture), persimmon (walls) and cream (window coverings). Also, the column is cream right now…should I paint it to match the walls?

I was all ready to buy this 2 piece sectional (micro-fiber mocha color) and then I saw a 2 piece sofa and chair with wood trim, that also is very nice….. My decor is a combo of african american art, abstract canvas art. We just painted our walls a chestnut tan color, and will soon have hardwood floors installed.
Here are the links to both sets:

If you click on the picture it will zoom it in for a nice closer look
The 2 piece set also comes in TAN
The sectional is simliar to this without the chaise

Which one do you think would look best with hardwood floors, african american art and canvas art??
Thanks!!!

My husband and I just painted our living room cranberry red. I’m starting to think about decorating ideas, but am having a hard time figuring out what will work with the bright color and home style. It’s a 1920’s bungalow, so I want to keep that old, comfortable style and mix it up with some classic Pottery Barn designs. We have a greenish/brown Pottery Barn couch, oversized club chair, brown rectangular ottoman (used as a coffee table alternative), and a beige/sage Persian rug. I was thinking of black and white photographs of places we’ve visited, but I need other options. Maybe vintage Parisian/Italian posters? Would that be too busy/much? What suggestions do you have for accent table finishes, wall decor, and picture frame finishes? Also, is it okay to have brown wood furniture with black-framed wall art?
