Sorry to be putting this here.....I don't know how to post a new message, only how to respond. Yes, the tile (travertine) is in most of the house, including the upstairs (extra bedrooms, theater room and game room have carpet)...the family room has a large sisal rug and our bedroom and bath have wool area rugs. The house has some angles that make the pattern be diagonal rather than straight in parts of the house. We are in SoCal so the bare floor works here. SOOO sorry for the big pics, I have been trying to shrink them for 20 minutes and this is as good as it got...and again so sorry to add this to the original post....

Part of the reason for a low number of responses could be that it posted on Saturday -- I don't think weekend posts ever get as many responses as weekday.... and it could also be that it has people stumped. I've looked at it for a couple minutes and the only thing I have are questions, no ideas. So here are my questions: - do you have another office space? Is keeping it useful as an office space something attractive to you or any homework do-ers in your house? Because if your answer to that question was "yes", then I'd suggest moving one of the drawer bases on the right to the left so that you have enough space to put an office chair on one side or the other. Even though you don't need a workstation spot anymore, it's nice to have a place to work remotely, or pay bills, or have a child sit in your eyesight and do their homework. -- if you don't want it as an office space, I'd probably try to get cabinets that match the original ones and put more drawers or storage space in there. My dog would love an under-cabinet space, but I'm not quite that generous -- not when I can have more storage. If your cabinets are no longer available, it seems you could do a custom piece and paint it an accent color --- or maybe repaint the whole lower cabs if need be-- lots of two-tone beautiful inspiration kitchens around here. I'm tapped out.... anyone else?

Don't know how old your son is, but it could serve different purposes as he grows. It would be a nice reading spot--rather than building in a bookcase you could do shallow wall mounted book racks (Ikea carries them). As he grows older it would make a nice desk/study area. And kids always love little nooks and crannies to play in, so a little bookcase could hold his favorite toys. I would consider having a wall mounted fixture wired now, though, as you need lighting for reading/studying. Love your windows!

I am responding because no one else has. What kind of room is this? A living room? Are you asking what colors look nice with that trim because you are tired of white? With that color trim and the nice blinds, a greyed-down green often looks nice. I can't tell what your flooring is on my screen--is that carpet? Are you happy with it? If you have any money left in your budget, I'd recommend new flooring OR a large area rug pulling your colors together....and a new light fixture in place of the fan.
