Yes, I think it would look really nice. Are you planning to change out your WTs?

I LOVE that last chair. It is gorgeous. It is all very beautiful. What color do you have on your walls? I like it, too!

I think that furniture would look very pretty with your wall color.

brit - do you have an option for the club chair? If so, instead of choosing the same pattern as the loveseat I would like for you trythink about a coodinating pattern which incorporates the red, gold and green. I think all three pieces might be too closely related. Such a pattern could be a plaid, but if you're not a plaid person, then maybe something in stripes, etc. The reason I am suggesting a pattern with "lines" is because the loveseat fabric is a "swirl" pattern. A compliment to a "swirl" is a "line." Are you totally confused right now? Sorry, you ask a simple "do you like this?" question and get a thesis. Wink
I will see if I can find an example to show you.

Otherwise - love the color and I think the style of the furniture will be a wonderful match to the floors, etc.

pam - that is very kind. I wish my DH thought the same way! Big Grin

He is better and back out on missions. Frown

But, his wife flew in from I*raq on Friday for her 19 day R&R, and we are having a great visit. 7 days and couting until my grandson gets here! Smile BTW, thank you so much for asking and remembering about him.

Wendek, I sure will post after pics. Getting it delivered Friday and i'm excited, like a kid in a candy shop.

2soldiers mom, I have chosen 1 chair with the loveseat and a contrast side chair. I think I may have to change the rugs and drapes as there maybe too much red/gold.

Jsdillon. the light trim is white, i know the pic makes it look dark, but assure me it is whiter than white, I even checked it for dirt. LOL.

Thank you all for your oppinions. Big Grin

Hey britfl! Just wondering if you got your furniture and if you liked it. I saw this room on RMS and thought of you. I just love all these colors together!!

Awwwww, thanks Joy.
Don't get me wrong, I love our lil cottage, but there are SO many other decorating styles I love and would be fun to try. So many houses I want to decorate, so little time....

Looking toward the front door.
