The Room A Family Lives In??

The other day I found all those photos of bedrooms, and I spend a good portion of writing that post getting ill over some of those ugly ass room designs.

So here I am again at work on a slow Sunday morning and we’re prowling the webs for fun stuff…and somehow we ended up back at that Decorating site. This time the object of our affection (NOT!!) is the LIVING ROOM. I’ve never had a LIVING and FAMILY room, What the fuck is that about anyway? Living rooms are made to be LIVED IN, not shown off as some museum display. Living rooms and family rooms should be ONE and the SAME. But hey..I guess I have a life or something.

Let’s start off the rooms I WANT TO SET ON FIRE; the ROOMS that have caused me to HURL my coffee already this morning. GAH some people have absolutely NO TASTE at all…

1) Just drag me to the dungeon now. Oh wait…this room is the dungeon. SPLAT!

2) Ugh…what it is with those freakin powder puff stools?? A friend told me this is where stinky feel rest. NOT my thing at all.

3) WHOA gimme my shades please. YUCK. Just fucking yuck. Some of us prefer a paler shade of sunshine, thankyounopleasedontverymuch. WHO in hell would set foot into this atrocity?

4) :shock: GOOD damned GAWD another ghastly, French design. Did the snotheads who designed this room KNOW that the living room is meant to be…LIVED IN??

5) Uh…okay I don’t mind some bookcases and little nests of collectibles and what not. But this just isn’t what I have in mind. THE carpet KILLS it here. And the green snot colored chairs.

6> This room would be okay if they just ditch the powder puff…it doesn’t belong here. It’s out of place. I LOVE the window treatments and carpet. Thatsaboutit.

7) Ahh getting more to my style. I prefer my BEDROOM to be plain and simple. Not so for the room MY family (and not me) live in. This room pictured is warm and inviting; it needs some more FAMILY touches though- its too santizied. Things are crowed together too much as well…but there is a lot of potential.

8 ) I like the colors of this. The room is WAY too high ceilinged for my liking though and is way to cramped as well…families need room to goof off, play, watch the game and play pool (yes we need a pool table section to every living room!). I have a couch that is made of suede and leather and velvety material and it’s very COMFY…and looks very similar to the one in the picture here.

9) Leather makes me horny. When I see leather sofas…anyway I could live in this room. If I could make changes: that would include getting rid of the “fancy fake antiques” and replace them with authentic and more period correct pieces; the art work would have to go into the fireplace that isn’t being used…that ironwork would have to be melted as well. The ceiling is awfully high (and I don’t like that )…oh, and those ugly white chairs? Get rid of them and replace with something warmer. Add a entertainment center and stereo and this room would become more family friendly.

10) Of all the photos of the rooms THIS has to be my favorite. Not perfect at all, but close. I would spread it all out a lot more; take down and trash the blue lagoon drapes and put up my white panels…the artwork on the walls appears to be of ships and if I’m correct I would keep those prints; those disgusting THINGS holding those butt ugly vases would have to just GO. And that horrid lamp on the dresser too- eeck. I really LIKE this room though.

11) This one WINS my heart and I would be very proud to live in this room, minor changes required of course. I love the colors. Red and white and blue would match MUCH of my STUFF I have for such places… I DON’T LIKE the tables AT ALL and would trash them in favor of some warmer, family friendly pine pieces. (I HATE OAK). I’d get rid of the carpet too and put down an area rug like the one in the room pictured at #10..add a bunch of book cases and the TV and stereos and all that..and this WOULD BE MY CHOICE.

    I don’t see a TV in any rooms here. They all suck.

    BWAHAHA uh…yer right. Sucks eh?? I don’t see the pool table either!!

    These aren’t rooms to live in. They’re rooms to show off. Like a museum. How stupid.
