[quote=Anonymous]We bought a weekend house near a beach about 18 months ago. The house was empty and a friend recommended a designer, someone she had recently hired as she had also bought an empty house. I explained to the designer that my challenge is scale - making sure the pieces fit in the room and with each other - and I really like cohesion.

The bedrooms are largely done. One is not to my liking and we are trying to figure it out. We came in this weekend to see the LR installation and...it...is...horrible. The rug is too small to fit all the furniture on it - which is what the designer did when she put down the rug and left. The pieces are probably too big for the room. The beach house is not huge - it is not a 6-8 BR Bethany or OBX McMansion. I said that more than once, especially after the fail with one of the bedrooms with oversized furniture. "This is not a full on suburban house. The BRs are not overly large nor is the LR space opening onto the patio."

And here we are. The sectional, two swivels, and a large coffee table are crowded on this rug. And the rug doesn't really tie into the entry hall leading to the room, etc.

A lot of these pieces are custom. I'm just beside myself. I can't wait till we leave today so I don't have to look at this failure.
