I love this room, it is simply a beautiful reading room. You seem to have the best luck finding good deals on furniture by looking through all your rooms! Regarding the masculinity, my husband (military officer, so I suppose that would be manly by default would love this room. It is very tasteful.

cept for the sofa/settee, it is NOT girly!!! hellooo???? my husband would love this room, he actually reads too!!! so he would appreciate the bookshelving. He would prob want a comfy chair tho'.

Everything is very, very nice and old/historic.I like old houses(check mine out, antique furniture, and can appreciate a screaming deal (the settee. BUT, as a man, with a genuine MAN CAVE (check mine as well, I'm not feeling that upholstery. It should be BLACK horsehair, or just black at the very least. I love everything else, though. But FRINGE?? Have him stop by my garage for a shot of testosterone. Poor man.
BTW- jk

I like it old style I don't care for leather myself Whenever I sit on it I feel as though I'm in a psychs office.

THAT SETTEE IS A DREAM

I love your home. Nicely done.

Nice shugshug still haven't seen your rooms. I like the settee and if your husabnd likes it than good for you.

Maybe leather would have been a better choice...this is why people pay decorators...it's cost effective in the long run. how upset was he when he saw this?

Ooooooo.........looks a little girley to me. Can't see my hubby in this room. Need to get him a big overstuffed leather chair.

MY man wouldn't go for the style or color of this room. He'd be looking for leather chairs deep rich reds in an area rug and deer heads hung on the wall. But....it's YOUR man you are trying to please and if he likes this then he's a lucky man to have a wife anxious to please. It's a pretty settee by the way!
