retro naturaaal

This is a loaded picture. I guess I'll start with what's right and then I'll follow with what's wrong.

+1...It's always good to add a splash of color in a natural-toned room.
-1...That particular chair would look great next to a green couch, both sitting atop yellow shag carpet. Ouch.
+2...Those shelves are perfect and can go in almost any room. They add shape and character and they are real eye-catchers. Best of all, these ones are large enough to hold all of the whacko acsents you find at TJ Maxx and [insert favorite store] that you couldn't put anywhere else!
-2...The shelves are not against the wall, nor are they properly decorated.
+3...Although you can't see all of the coffee table, I've ahunch that the other half looks exactly like the visible one, which is fabulous!
-3...We're not sure about the centerpiece...it's like an old shoebox with your grandma's fake flowers stuffed inside
$$$
-4...There are still pricetags on all of the items in the room! Who really needs a constant reminder of how much they paid for each item??? Wait a minute!

Yup. It's the chair. I couldn't shake the feeling that this supposedly modern looking room was somehow home to a very old couple. There are some ashtrays and metal tv trays hidden around there somewhere...
