I am trying to figure out how to bring this living room together. I am on a budget because we just redid our bathrooms. Eventually, I would like to do over the fireplace. For now, any ideas on bits of furniture and accessories that would help out here? The couch, chairs and coffee table have to stay. Charlie Brown stays too. I think the rug is too small. Also, I can't figure out what to put to the right of the fireplace to balance the bookshelf on the other side. Big art? Should I get two new pieces of furniture on either side of the fireplace?
In the short term, I could cover the fireplace marble with some funky colorful tiles (I am imagining I can do that myself ...). I don't think that marble goes with the rest of the room. The coffee table matches my dining table on the other side of the stairs.
It is not a formal room. I like fun stuff that makes me smile.
All ideas welcome. Thanks!!!
