The piano room

We have two “family” rooms in our house - one we refer to as the “TV room” and the other, the “piano room.” I prefer to keep the TV room strictly for TV watching (pretty much just Netflix movies, Frasier reruns, The Office, 30 Rock, and Masterpiece Theatre - “Cranford” is SOOOOO good!) and the piano room for entertaining and, of course, piano playing. The piano room has really been neglected lately and now that the weather is so much nicer, we’re thinking about finally tackling the walls. I’m thinking of going with a light blue - possibly “Jamaican Aqua” or “Barely Teal” from Benjamin Moore. They’re the 2 lighter shades of our kitchen, which is “Tropicana Cabana.”

I’d post a picture of the piano room as it currently looks, but my camera battery is charging at the moment and I’m just really excited to share my Google Sketchup 3D mockup:

The details:

  1. The pear print above the sofa is a canvas Marimekko print from CB2.com - a gift from my parents for my birthday a couple weeks ago.
  2. The sofa is the Arild sofa from IKEA.
  3. The side tables are IKEA Lack.
  4. The plywood chair is an Eames knockoff I ordered from American Modern Furniture last year.
  5. The bookcases in the back are Billy bookcases from IKEA. We don’t have these yet.
  6. The rug is also nonexistant … I’m thinking of going with some moss green Interface Flor tiles.
  7. The lamps are from Crate & Barrel - purchased a few years ago.

  4. I love your blog! Thanks for sharing all the pictures. Is this google sketchup hard to learn/ time intensive?
    thanks.

  6. Hi Jen,

    I just sent you an Evernote invite and Evernote said your email bounced. So I replied to the email you sent and sure enough, it bounced too. I’m using jen@jennyology.com.

    Do you have another email address I can send then invite to? I didn’t want you to think I was a jerk and didn’t send you an invite.

    Also - when I go to http://www.jennyology.com it goes to a site about llamas. I had to remove the www to get here. :-)
