EJ N37 It is a good idea to place the TV like it is now or move it above the chimney?

Mary Dancey Interiors Is that a wood burning fireplace?

EJ N37 Hello Mary, yes it is with a gas starter..

Mary Dancey Interiors Hi Joy, a wood burning fireplace will generate too much heat to put the TV above, you'll ruin your TV.

EJ N37 That's a good point, thank you so much! Mary, what do you think of the room? It's big 19x15 and I'm lost in which style should I go with to make it alive. We love colors, so we want something special modern yet classy. Do you have any thoughts?

Mary Dancey Interiors Are you planning on replacing the furniture that is in the room Joy?

EJ N37 Yes Mary, it's the furniture of the previous owners. We basically have an empty living room.

Mary Dancey Interiors Then the room is your oyster :) Start a wish list of colours, fabrics and furniture selections you are attracted too. You can do that on Houzz with saving images you like to your 'ideabooks', determine how you want to live in the room, what the function/s will be and then ask for more help here or if you need more help hire a decorator local to your community for expert advice. And, remember, it's suppose to be fun.

EJ N37 Great! That's a great list to start with. I will definitely do that and get back to you Mary. Thank you :)

Mary Dancey Interiors My pleasure Joy. :)
