If you moved the tv cabinet next to the fireplace (like anonymous said) it would have taken away from the fireplace. Plus you can tell by the pictures there is not enough room next to the fireplace for the big cabinet. And that is just MY opinion. :-)The Berry's Patchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01416679835910378508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399639578758058574.post-21352512127875166432008-09-21T12:31:00.000-05:002008-09-21T12:31:00.000-05:00I can't believe the difference the blue pillows ma...I can't believe the difference the blue pillows make.

There really wouldn't have been room to move the sofa any other place except the wall where the TV armoire is now. When I walked in there I felt she had it just about as good as it could get considering the size of the room & the placement of the fireplace, which was right in front of you as you walk in the door. Believe me, there would not have been room to do what you suggested, but your opinions are welcome. <BR/><BR/>Debra, you mentioned focal points & you're right about that. With a big armoire and fireplace, it sometimes is hard to keep just one focal point. In a small room like this, it really gets difficult. <BR/><BR/>Thank you all for stopping by,<BR/>RhodaRhoda @ Southern Hospitalityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16741881774379561710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399639578758058574.post-40090122287651357162008-09-20T11:58:00.000-05:002008-09-20T11:58:00.000-05:00HI Rhoda, I love the colors & everything looks...HI Rhoda, I love the colors & everything looks great!
