The white couch seems to balance the room and pull in the fireplace.<br /><br />One small detail I love is that you switched the Billy bookcases next to the fire place. I think it lengthens the wall (or doesn't stop the eye so quickly) by having the wider ones toward the middle and the narrower ones on the ends.)<br />MMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00385969047404071484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7996566617043488147.post-49309999726989902762014-11-07T08:43:00.075-07:002014-11-07T08:43:00.075-07:00Wow~ An absolutely stunning space!
