Designing Decisions

For reasons I will explain in a later blog, I am going to be revamping my living room decor. And by that I mean COMPLETELY starting over. I am torn between two totally different color schemes so I thought I'd run my top choices by you fabulous bloggers...

Choice number 1 is very modern. I will go with red as my main pop of color and do black and white photo's and art throughout that has black, white, grey, and red intertwined. The look will be clean and very feng shui.  Below is the main piece, ignore the wall hangings and shelves because I would go in a different direction (as described above) with that.

Choice number two is sort of "country chic". It is girly I suppose featuring a soft blue as the main color accent. The idea here would be light and bright creating a happy feeling.

I am completely torn over these two opposite design plans! The girly part of me LOVES the bottom one but the practical side of me (knowing that I live with 3 boys and a dog) loves the top. And I do adore the feng shui concept.

Thoughts? Which is your favorite?
