All-Time Favourite

I thought a good place to start would be with one of my favourite living rooms - possibly my favourite room across the board!  My design style leans towards traditional, neutral and serene, with a bit of glam and a bit of upscale beach home - sound complicated enough?  

This house was showcased in the June 2009 issue of Style At Home, one of my must-read magazines.  (The full article is here.)

My current top pick for a living room, if I could scrap everything I have and go at it with an unlimited budget, is this one. 


So what jumps out?
 - perfect gray walls (Benjamin Moore Edgecomb Gray)
 - mirrored coffee table and side tables - very glam
 - moody painting above the sofa
 - gorgeous chandelier
 - symmetry of the side tables, and of the darker accent chairs
 - sofa and chairs have smooth, simple lines
 - cream sofa - I love light-colored furniture
 - large rug/carpet makes the room feel cozy even with the more modern furnishings

What do you think?
