Catnapper - I know the baskets and pillow are country ... but I also am stuck between my love for Victorian and Country ... isn't there a style called "Country Victorian"? That's why I am trying to go a bit more eclectic, or non-style specific. Maybe the "new" transitional style? I don't know! Also the Ent. Cntr. isn't really white, it is a buttery cream color, hard to match other furniture pieces with. *sigh*

Like I said in my original post, I know everything on the shelves LOOKS HORRIBLE! I plan to clear everything off and replace with whatever goes with my new furniture. What I really need help with is WHAT TYPE of furniture to go with the ent. center? I need a sofa and chairs and lamps!

Edwina's Secretary - Thank you for the comments on my red walls, because I REALLY need to keep those! YES, the ent. cntr. shelves do adjust and are also completely removable! I was thinking about taking all of the glass shelves out and buying matching tall topiaries for each side. How does that sound to you and Catnapper? If not topiaries then what? I do have a bad problem with too much symmetry ... I have to force myself to achieve balance in different ways, with weight not duplication! I love the painting, but I do know it is very busy .... the gold leaf frame and the bright large flowers ... and it would be VERY hard to find a sofa to complement it! *sigh* I guess it will go in storage with all my other "bad buys"!

So now .... WHAT COLOR, STYLE, FABRIC couch, chairs???? We're going shopping Friday! Also, what about tables? I really kind of hate the routine matching end tables and coffee table ... I'd like to use a bit of variety. I think I want an ottomon to use for my "coffee table" ... but I'm not sure what type of end tables. Also, LAMPS? So many questions!!! tee hee hee!
