    Default Help me decorate my apartment!

    I moved two weeks ago, I still need to finish decorating my sunroom, and START decorating my living room!

    I need ideas for both rooms..... I feel like my sunroom is kind of blah, I kind of wish I would've purchased a bright red rug and matching pillows to do a Moroccan theme, or maybe I should just play up the Greek/Renaissance theme throughout the apartment.... that pillar and Venus statue could be moved into my living room, and I could do Moroccan or even Asian theme for my sunroom. I need creative ideas for plants, planters, anything for the walls (I can't put nails into them though), maybe a trellis with ivy, topiaries, folding wall screen, I have no idea..... I want A LOT of plants in there though. I like those ceramic lacquered Asian fish bowl planters on a stand and vases, although I'm not sure if I cold tie in an ornate Asian style with that contemporary furniture. I also want some sort of fountain, but I have no idea what....

    My living room is completely empty, I still haven't decided on what to do in there...... I am really leaning towards a white sofa, I just to have a contemporary low profile white leather sectional that I adored, but I'm scared it might look totally awkward. My dining area is what I would describe as a Renaissance-ish feminine slightly contemporary look, and I want that to carry over into the living room. I want to keep it all somewhat contemporary and clean. I don't want super minimalist sleek contemporary, but I also don't want super traditional ornate style. I want to keep that Greek/Renaissance/Baroque/Classical style with a contemporary twist, but I don't know how..... All I have is that plain black wood wall unit/tv stand thing, a votive candle sconce wall decor, and that gold greek mirror. I don't know if I should get a sectional, or just a cool sofa and chair, or what.... Help me! Also, I want to throw in some color, but I don't want to look weird, a warmer color I think. That blue vase on my dining room table totally clashes with everything.... I also need something for that huge wall of window, what type of curtains though? Dramatic or sheer/understated? What about a living rug, or should I just use the rug from the sunroom?

    I like this style of couch for some reason, especially those roundish tube pillows: http://www.decorpad.com/photo.htm?ph...Id=11727&index


    My old coffee table, I miss it a lot, I had the matching end table also: http://www.zgallerie.com/p-1199-conc...fee-table.aspx

    I love anything from Horchow also, ALL of these sofas: http://www.horchow.com/store/catalog...a_1_Sof&cmCat=

    Some of the stuff at Pier one is okay, some looks very cheap/cheesy.....

    Does anybody have any ideas for me? I will post my bedroom later, that's a whole different story.....

    Girl, you have some great pieces (and taste in) furniture!

    I really have a thing for the Venus statue though.. If that were my house, I'd play with the greek theme.
