mrshste ... and I thought I was alone in disliking en suites for the same reason! I said this to a real estate agent yesterday and he looked totally confused ... like I was a martian from another planet ... it did make me laugh. I also agree with you re modern bland supposed minimalism ... although I love the original concept of minimalism which was anything but bland or even very white.

Hi, I too love the colour railings, however, i'm ging to disagree with everyone as usual. I've done a mock up of the T.V mounted on the fireplace, but you'd have to build up the sides just to make the size of the T.V make sense. ( Why oh why do men want big T'V's????) I didn't like it. I would highly suggest that the T.V either sits on the other wall opposite the couch, or and i prefer this to anything else. Have a beautiful corner cabinet which then turns the T.V slightly towards the couch and encompasses both storage and all horrible wiring !

HI Sarah I love what you have achieved. Many congrats for embracing what you have and creating something that totally enhances the placement of the fireplace. The space looks like it was made for the placement of that perfect chair and you've done a gorgeous job with your selection and placement of art . I am moving with considerable grief from my gorgeous arts and crafts bungalow to an early1970s small house. I have to say this style of architecture in NZ wasnt exactly a highlight. But I set myself a challange to embrace the architecture and look to enhance rather than fight it . That challenge shifted me off my despair track and now I am excited and hopeful and thinking about space and colour and the amazing light pouring in (a quality of houses of this time)..and textures . i feel so cteative in new and diffetent ways...and it's so exciting. seeing what you have achieved - it is very affirming for me I love what you have created.

Hi Sian, I think the clock is great. Re the shelves its all about balance and grouping objects, so keep standing back and seeing the whole scene. Symmetry is naturally pleasing on the eye so , if you go large on the right do the same on the left, group objects in 3's,spread out the photographs, put some on the left too. Play around with candles, stacks of 3 nice covered books you like or that have some meaning to you, laid horizontally with ornaments of votives on top, try and link colours from your room onto those shelves too. The way you dress your home should tell your guests about you. Reveal hints of who you are to add depth and interest. You'll love it much more if you dress it that way too. Add a plant to one of the shelves on the other side too. It's quite fun to do, you just need a bit more to play around with here. Balance will oddly help it to seem less cluttered. Hope that helps!
