We have an older raised ranch/split foyer where the upstairs was converted into a great room. While I love the fact that I can interact with people while in the kitchen, it’s resulted in one very long blank wall that spans both the dining area and the living room area. I still struggle with how to decorate this wall! I’ll definitely be referencing this post with my next attempt!

I have a great room- well technically it’s only about 16′ by 20′ but the ceilings are 23′. Your post really helps to define the areas of consideration in decorating. One thing that really caught my eye though, was Deborah Needleman’s sofa. I love it! Anybody have any idea where it came from? Haven’t been able to find it around the web (yet).

We close on new construction home around thanksgiving and what I love about it is the great room – 19 foot ceilings, lots of light, etc…but I also HATE the windows that let in all that light!! The model home shows floor to ceiling 19ft drapes. I hate that idea. I love that it lets in light but i live in Phoenix area…sometimes we have had enough of the sun. The window are tinted and I will have exterior sun screens installed to lessen the impact of the sun. I just wonder how to treat these windows. Do I treat the lower ones as i wish and just let those windows stand alone? I am just at a loss…
