Their house was very big and designed in a very extraordinary style. I don’t know how it is called, maybe someone can help with it? I have a similar picture

What a pleasant room! I love the use of leather in there, and of course, the natural light. I totally understand about underfunded art gallery!

They are not very sturdy. Our bedroom at least has a theme. The wallpaper is french Toile (white and periwinkle) with scenes of people and boats and maybe castles, so, we are slowly accumulating french Toile furnishings or at least color and styles to match. The kids will be long gone before we get the bedrooms done, but that may be just as well since they are hard on furniture (and walls). The kids bedrooms have no theme and are pretty modern mish mash. One room kind of has a wolf theme and a huge photomural on one wall of a forest with a waterfall, but those are starting to come off all by themselves. [deleted text]
I don't don't French Toile...or periwinkle...but my mother-in-law gave us these two chairs and lamp with which we don't know what to. They look French to us and, some day, will want to find a way to give them a new home with somebody else.

The TV is hidden in a huge europeon quatersawn oak amoire with neat beveled mirrors. We only put quartersawn oak in the dining room or back parlor.

Within the last week I saw a rerun of American Pickers in which they picked a Masonic Chair. From the Antique Archeology blog: Where Is It Now: Masonic Chair - Two Lanes Blog
