    I need some real help in my living room, I have beige carpet, taupe walls and rust red & brown furniture.
    I can’t afford to get rid of my furniture, but would really like to learn how to put things together.
    thanks! Angie

    My living room. It’s 16×18 with very little wall space, mostly open areas to other rooms and windows. All the furniture is pushed to the walls. Not functional at all. Really need help!
