The octopus, the waterfall pillows, mushroom tables set on a laminated wood slab seems kinda groovy to me.

Most people don't know Ringo wrote many songs for the Beatles. Including Octopuses Garden. The Help album credits Lennon, McCartney with writing Yesterday but in an NPR interview with Ringo Star he states he solely wrote the song himself.

Kinda Kool, but I think I'd get tired of it in a few months.  My daughter would be all over it though.

Do you know the difference between regular table salt and Sea Salt? Sea Salt has fish pee in it.

The floor and walls are a beige/light brownish earth tone and I can see how they match the octopus on the sofa.

I would want some of those colors from the furniture on the floor and walls also. I think that would tie everything in together in a much more "WOW" kind of way.

The wood slab table bases are probably cypress, but may be plastic. They look kool, but they are the only organic material in the room and would go much better with a room filled with sea shells, for example.

You can see how the colors of the table tops and pedestals blend in well with the fabric on the furniture. The blue is awesome but the white is lacking because there is not much white in the fabric or anywhere else in the room. I might have chosen a different color from the fabric other than white.

If there are grand kids around, I would want to make those table tops be able to spin. That would be "Kool". "Hey grandma, where's your cat?"  :o

I do like that chandelier.

PS: I'd like to be, under the sea, with the appropriate breathing apparatus, in the shade.

That table must've walked off an Allman Bros. Band album cover.   ;)

Not so keen on the upholstery job, but I could make a great slipcover to hid it!
