Question For Jeffybaby: We've recently purchased our oceanfront home and are considering several different approaches to decorating our living room.  We have family photos, books, and items with sentimental value as well as big, gorgeous greenery. The jury's still out on window treatments and furniture. We want comfortable. Our views are spectacular. In a previous post you told someone to stay "less ornate"  -- could you explain?

Jeffybaby: Congratulations on the purchase! I remember the home. Your views are jaw-dropping.  People seem to love a simple house that defers to the VIEW. So forget the fuss of shopping for all the needless junk!

If you've got it, flaunt it!  This no frills design plan allows the ocean to take center stage. When outfitting window-walled rooms like your own, choose low-profile furnishings over high-back or ornate ones that might compete with your gorgeous view.

Remember, let straightforward architecture and simple furnishings show off waterfront views. Keep it clean and simple...

Here's To Your Eternal (Unobstructed) Views!
