Yes that one room that we typically spend most of our budget, all of our brainpower and talents and at least as much energy and time on decorating only to use once or twice a year! I am no exception, believe me, &nbsp;but hopefully this time around will make a point to use it a bit more than I did in my old house. Admittedly, it was a room I pretty much never went into except to sit down and marvel at how beautiful things looked, and wonder why we never used it! In any case, whether its enjoyed to its fullest or not, the living room is nonetheless a beautiful room and one that generally showcases our personal design and taste. There is no one winning combination, and I have a true appreciation for living rooms of many styles, colors and feels. So today is all about some seriously beautiful living rooms&#8230;any secrets to creating a gorgeous living room that you want to share? Do tell! &nbsp;For fun I &#8220;named&#8221; each of these rooms&#8230;so &#8220;who&#8221; is your favorite?<\/center><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-a69iL5ODeZo\/Tiavwf75Q_I\/AAAAAAAAJd4\/PX5C_IdRnNw\/s1600\/3_L.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"494\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-a69iL5ODeZo\/Tiavwf75Q_I\/AAAAAAAAJd4\/PX5C_IdRnNw\/s640\/3_L.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">Sophia&#8230;..Classic and timeless, the neutrality works beautifully here, Sandra Nunnerly<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-GdLup06FYSw\/TiXYwbzwsaI\/AAAAAAAAJcU\/jcnwc4ymYtg\/s1600\/89.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"426\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-GdLup06FYSw\/TiXYwbzwsaI\/AAAAAAAAJcU\/jcnwc4ymYtg\/s640\/89.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">Meredith&#8230;Soft tones accented with a gorgeous blue is quite stunning, Palms Design Group<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/--g9l7V8a8Qo\/TiXTv2MaWvI\/AAAAAAAAJbs\/Mqf9C01Al1s\/s1600\/living-room-2.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"480\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/--g9l7V8a8Qo\/TiXTv2MaWvI\/AAAAAAAAJbs\/Mqf9C01Al1s\/s640\/living-room-2.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">Carrie..Love the tufted sofa and the calm quiet elegance that abounds, Massusco, Warner Miller<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-2uu-3eW7Bv0\/TiXVCzmVFEI\/AAAAAAAAJb8\/ssbLAfRG_gQ\/s1600\/portfolio_83.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"518\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-2uu-3eW7Bv0\/TiXVCzmVFEI\/AAAAAAAAJb8\/ssbLAfRG_gQ\/s640\/portfolio_83.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">Pamela&#8230;.McAlpine, Booth and Ferrier<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-j-ev1fxmzHU\/TiXrmb3UrxI\/AAAAAAAAJcY\/SFjgd4F8Rak\/s1600\/times-union-to-get-this-look-1.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"528\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-j-ev1fxmzHU\/TiXrmb3UrxI\/AAAAAAAAJcY\/SFjgd4F8Rak\/s640\/times-union-to-get-this-look-1.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">Claire&#8230;.Nothing about this fabulous room I don&#8217;t love!
