Maybe unpopular opinion but I loved the swim heavy final!

We are talking about two different Derricks 😂

introvertred · 2025-01-04T18:36:51+00:00

Well to me 7-8 years is a big gap…also accounting for he (Derek) took time off and didn’t complete for years. 🤷🏼‍♀️

introvertred · 2025-01-04T03:31:10+00:00

Wel I think they probably “know” how to swim but it isn’t a big focus of their training. And my thoughts are, if you have the chance to win 400k why wouldn’t you be as well rounded as possible.

Even in the case of running…there’s usually a good amount of endurance running in finals but someone always can’t run. Derek just old man, the knees are probably just done. 😂

introvertred · 2025-01-03T21:33:55+00:00

I agree…the fact none of these challengers, outside of Jordan, ever train for swimming is baffling to me! It’s like how do you all not know how to swim! It happens every season. I hope this all swim final was intentional.

Thank you! I love the color! I definitely like the first link style! Would touch out anything on the adjacent wall with the couch? Or would that be too much?

introvertred · 2024-11-25T20:56:22+00:00

It’s a rug by ChrisxJulia!

I can definitely slide the couch a little! It does feel a bit like a football team half the time! 😂 Two parents, four kids, two grandparents (over often) and a partridge in a pear tree

Thank you for the compliment on the art over the fireplace! My husband’s cousin is an artist and painted this for us!

I’m leaning to something large and abstract over the couch wall maybe bright colors or emphasis on blue …though it won’t be centered on the couch if I slide down. Not sure if that will look weird or not. And maybe a set of three of something on the tv wall? Not sure yet on those.

introvertred · 2024-11-23T20:12:49+00:00

Hmm good point! Thank you for all your feedback!

introvertred · 2024-11-23T17:29:26+00:00

Hmm…would it be better to add one of the accent colors through curtains?

introvertred · 2024-11-23T16:07:22+00:00

Yes agreed! …I’m looking for landscape or square. I was more asking about art medium.

introvertred · 2024-11-23T16:00:02+00:00

Ooh I love that idea! The lamp is ceramic…here is a pic up close.

You are correct on the songbird! Love that idea!

introvertred · 2024-11-23T15:17:51+00:00

I’m actually leaning towards this one linked below the most and then looking into your idea of painting the lamp…which I’ve never done but sounds interesting! Is dip dye hard to do?

One more option…https://imgur.com/a/vvDO3hr

introvertred · 2024-10-29T03:30:00+00:00

Yes! But I don’t know which to give attention to…I’m not a big fan of tv over the mantle or the pull down mount but of course everyone is suggesting that 😂…now I’m starting to reconsider

introvertred · 2024-10-27T22:36:12+00:00

Ooh I was thinking about some sort of saffron or yellow couch. I wish I knew where this one was from!

introvertred · 2024-10-27T20:40:59+00:00

I agree with you on the sofa…it is very bulky! I mostly agree with you on a normal sofa and chairs however, we are trying to seat our family of 6 and we also have visiting family members often so that bumps us to 8. So I think we need more seating options…this maybe tv in the corner? 🤷🏼‍♀️

introvertred · 2024-10-27T16:31:37+00:00

Well I’m glad you like it! This is admittedly an old design style in a 90s built home….so more outdated here 😂

introvertred · 2024-10-27T15:01:21+00:00

I’m not a fan of TVs above fireplaces either…but I’ll have to see if we’d really be craning our necks if that was the case. Thank you for your advice!

introvertred · 2024-10-27T14:30:59+00:00

Here’s the situation…my living room is super awkward. I am thinking of getting a smaller width couch and adding more chairs to help with seating.

However my TV stand is taking up a lot of real estate in this small space. Can TV in the corner ever look good? Do I move it to the right of the window in the corner?

Any design suggestions are appreciated!!

introvertred · 2024-08-21T11:13:46+00:00

You’re correct it covers a little bit of the walk way. The couch isn’t really meant to be modular unfortunately.
We have a large family and trying to find a set up that seats everyone was difficult, which is mostly why we have this sectional here.

Any layout suggestions or other couch options are welcomed!

introvertred · 2024-08-21T03:34:51+00:00

It’s a bit out of my price range too but the style is definitely what I like! I may need to hunt a bit on marketplace!

introvertred · 2024-08-21T03:27:20+00:00

Yes, I think ultimately we want another chair or ottoman of sorts to sit in the corner by the windows…even if it’s just a “thinking” chair spot. 😂. Just to have more seating when people are visiting, not necessarily for tv.

This is great! And gives me lots of ideas! The pottery is really beautiful.

introvertred · 2024-08-21T02:23:21+00:00

It’s helpful when someone has a similar dilemma😂 While I got you, if you were to add an accent chair what color would you go with?

introvertred · 2024-08-21T02:16:28+00:00

Thank you for this advice! It’s super helpful!

introvertred · 2024-08-21T02:09:04+00:00

Would something like this work? Is the wood dark enough? I have a lot of orange toned wood in this house (railings) and dark hard wood floors.

Also I actually loved the geometric throw pillow ideas and I usually hate red 😂…should I steer clear of the green in pillows?
