    Not only do you look “Dapper” but I love your laugh and humour!…What an interesting topic today. Very important advice for everyone. We are not big TV watchers in this home. I would rather have a comfortable conversational space. When we move, I am hoping that we will have a finished basement where a TV setup can go, possibly with a sectional and round coffee table of course for entertaining guests who come to stay over…Thanks again Garrett, it’s always great to watch your videos 🤗❤️🇨🇦

    Hi Garrett. Always nice to see your videos. A tip for those who dont know...and that you can mention to spread the word. Most modern TVs have the function to work as art pieces or open fire illusions. They are really nice and have decorative frames as well. That way the TV is the focal point but not a big boring black thing in the way. I have always joked to my friends that my TV is modern art. I mean if Yves Klein marine blue painting can be sold for 9 million, my Black monochromatic thing on the wall can be expensive art..hihi

No room for table but do have sofa on one side and seating bench with never used piano (not my idea).

    We have a narrow living room with the fireplace at the end. We also have awkwardly placed doors in the room which we can't move. I lost the TV over the mantle battle but am used to it now. Our couch is parallel to the fireplace and our two chairs are opposite the fireplace. Our living room isn't very large so we don't have a coffee table but have tables by all of the seating so people have a place to put drinks or anything else. A wonderfully informative video as usual.

    I have one sofa and one matching chair, but one unmatched chair (in a small room). The unmatched chair does not to fit in visually. I will use the idea from your video to use the same throw/pillows on Both chairs. (thank you so much for that great idea,). Any other suggestions for that unmatched chair, so it blends in better with the sofa and other chair ?

    • @ShelleybutyoucancallmeShell
      @ShelleybutyoucancallmeShell Год назад

      You can always get a slipcover. Amazon has many, as well as other sites. You can also drape a throw or blanket (even over a slipcover) to make the chair look nicer. I myself find putting the toss cushions from the other furniture on top of a mismatched piece of furniture actually off-putting as it draws even more attention to the fact that the piece of furniture is not matching the others.
      So:
      1- slipcover
      2- new chair
      3- remove the chair
      4- embrace, or make peace, with the odd man out piece of furniture.

    No joke, I don’t even think Garrett could tackle my floor plan. It’s a huge square room- sounds easy, right? Yah, not so much. It has four entrances and exits. It’s so jacked up, they quit offering the layout- right after my condo was built in 2003. I’m the only one out of the other 40-50 killer units who’s stuck with this layout. I’ve hired a few top notch designers. While they all gave ideas, they were all simultaneously stumped on how to make the area look cool, while still being functional. Yes, it’s that bad. One very experienced designer flat out said, “This floor plan should be a reality TV competition for designers. I’ve never seen anything like it.” So that’s been fun to deal with for 20 years.🙄
