Kim, you know I have always envied your red living room (I almost have my husband convinced to paint our dining room red.)

Perhaps with such strong color you need less going on in the room. With the entertainment center...can you move the shelves? So that the two sides are not so symetrical? Then I would take everything off the shelves and have just one thing on each shelf....very simple....but dramatic.

Or maybe...if the shelves come out....have just one very tall thing on each side. You could put the books on the bottom shelf.

It is a fancy piece so I would accessorize it with less.

I like the picture and I like it with the red, but it is again, rather busy. How about a more simple picture...maybe even without any frame?
