design for living room = stress

I don't know.  Synda says to search everything for what I like.  I have not a clue what I like.  I like...I like...I WOULD like it to be done by someone who knows what they like.  Which obviously isn't me.  Here's the criteria:  huge long room with big stone white fireplace, kids, dog, corner windows, and just too much...It's very 1960's, which I DO like.

I need to take some pictures.

Maybe send some to Design Sponge?

I want to keep the 60's feel with a modern approach (hmmm that sounded so designerish didn't it?)

I told Bobby it would be easier to throw everything out and start again....but i don't know where I would start.!!!!

ARGGGGHHHH

on another note: got some knitting started and one finished :)

 this is the start of the  

Through the Woods, or While They Play (something like that) pattern

don't ask me what happened to his mouth...but he's cute
