Well, I have enough paint left over from my half wall in the dining room / kitchen paint project to paint either the main bathroom or an accent wall behind the tv. Now, this decision is based on whether I feel like doing it and whether or not, I think adding the color will really make the space much better.
The choices:
The living room tv wall
Wall to right is accent wall:
This wall would be opposite "accent" wall:
Bathroom:
The half wall was originally going to be EK Adobe but now the paint is Ek Adobe with a bit of EK Taupe mixed in.

Please vote on which fabric and living room furniture style
Comments (23)bigdoglover, Where the piano is now is next to a banister and spindles, whioh on the other side is my foyer. It's a narrow space, so would never fit a small baby grand. Years ago I did have my sofa on the wall where it is and the two chairs across from it to make a conversation area. One problem with that was that I had to put the 2 chairs in the front of the window, but because the window is so big they were kind of in the center of the window. I couldn't put them on the other end of the window from the sofa because the space is limited down that far - closer to the pinao area. Don't know if that makes sense. One idea I had was to leave the sofa where it is, move it out closer to the chairs, which would work because the room is long and put a sofa table behind it. It would still have the same arrangement so to speak just a little closer and more intimate. Any thoughts on that? I plan to replace that picture over my sofa with a large canvas style. I did have candle sconces on either side, but I didn't put them back up after I painted the living room in Jan....See MoreWhich chandelier for my dining room? Please vote!
Comments (85)kimmieb - those are both gorgeous chandeliers! Thanks so much for posting them. Unfortunately, I've already tried to convince DH and can't get him to buy off on anything this ornate. Also, I know they would definitely go with the style of the chairs and table, but I also have a mix of rustic iron and leather throughout the house (my love for early American and English antiques mixed with DH's fondness for the "Old West" has resulted in me aiming for "English hunting lodge") so I think I need to tie this look in to the shabby chic dining room somehow so everything flows. I can't use lanterns because I'm now wired for one center fixture and need more light, and I understand your comment regarding the last fixture maybe being too contemporary, which is perhaps why I've held off ordering it. I'd be getting the antique bronze finish, but it's hard not seeing it in person. The 8' ceiling height is limiting, but I do agree the size of the table needs something with mass. At the same time, I'd like to find an iron chandelier that's pretty and delicate, yet rustic. It's hard to find one that's not too massive, or Spanish, or Mediterranean, etc. Sigh . . . hopefully, one will come to me :-)...See MoreWhich Sconce for DR? Please Vote
Comments (10)I like B and C; not just because they match the chandy, but because I just prefer them (and they happen to coordinate, which is nice). B might be a bit much to have on either side of the mirror, with all the candles on it and the chandy. I think C would look great; it ties with the central fixture but is a bit different. You could always replace the glass shade if you still didn't like it once you saw it in person. Lowes and HD carry many different kinds for $3-$10/piece....See MorePlease Vote Which do you prefer?
Comments (58)Love #1. Kingston Brass? I have it but with the lever handles. It seems a good quality, is noted on the large side but not overly so, imo. That said, seeing your vanity etc I think the more tailored modified version of #3 is a better fit from what I can gather from your styling of the bathroom. It is simpler and more masculine, to the point like the handsome bath . #1 is quite feminine for the above bathroom, imo. I also think the sleek modern one at 17:43 would look good but like the feel of the other with the old world natural limestone. PS. The higher arcs are more comfortable, imo.

I took a pic of the shower curtain next to the newly painted half wall. Wow, the color is almost dead on. Plus the bath floor and wall tile is this exact tile. Thanks again - I think I will paint this weekend - Sat and Sun mornings.
