Yes i do! I actually have some design sense and wanted to be an interior designer. I installed new Espresso color thick carpet in my whole condo, i loved the color, sheen and the way it hid the stains. Lol im bad i know, but i had light color carpet before and it was a mess to keep clean, to the eye. Only problem was when i installed the Espresso color carpet was that my walls were bright white and i didnt like the contrast, the dark brown per say and the white walls, just looked odd to me and bugged me, Finally i gave in and put color on the walls! Reason i say all that is, if the walls are not white, go for it. Maybe re think the color of the walls as to me, the silver of the washer and silver of the walls might clash with one another, if just not the perfect, complementing shades. You could do a creamy rich, off white, like vanilla. What i did in picking the colors for my living room and bedrooms was, i went to home depot, i picked out all the colors that immediately caught my eye. Then i took home two or three of the same paint swatches home, taped them together, then taped them on the wall to be painted, in different areas, to see which color i like better. It was better for me than using one swatch of color and trying to decide on a big blank white wall. So i used three and taped them together and made the swatch 50 % bigger! Its up to you in the end and what you like. But i do think the espresso will work very well with the silver, or graphite appliances, just a little weary on silver walls. I used the Berh paint and primer in one, used less coats and the color came out very nice! The green is, chinese jade and the yellow is, pyramid gold. I had to put into mind all the colors i already had, the carpet, my couch, coffee tables, dining table. This is also what i did, i fine tuned into what colors i wanted for the walls, then i took other swatches, for instance, i have white baseboards, so i got a white swatch, i have a orange couch, so i got an orange swatch, i have espresso carpet, so i got an espresso colored swatch, then i put them all next to the color of the wall swatch, to see how well they all mixed together! And to me, the colors couldnt have fallen into place any better. Also made my condo feel more like a house, more like me, more personlized! Imagine the walls in the photos before, white! What a big different a little color can do!

If you are after comfort, I fear that the sofa you posted won't give it to you. That very flat tight tufted upholstery doesn't yield to bodies, and the squareness of the arms and back isn't shaped like people...so although it is a nice clean European modern look, you may prefer something else. Here's something from Crate & Barrel that could give you a modern look and more comfort. For chairs, consider a modern version of the klismos chair. Here is a site that shows what I mean...I have no knowledge of this company or the quality of this chair, but it is an example of the style. http://www.clubchairs.com/upholstered-club-chairs/contemporary/cloverchairloungewith2pillows.cfm Here is a link that might be useful: C&B Delaney Sectional

I think the colors match ok, but with them both being largish prints I think they would be too busy/jumbled looking together. I'd have to see the finished product though to render a complete opinion. And of course, by then, you would have already made it...

It's too small. Only 4" between each hook. Agree, look on etsy. Umbra makes these "Birdie Hooks", 3 for $17. You can buy as many as you need and place them anywhere on the wall. Magnet under the beak holds keys. While not a bird theme hook, Umbra also makes a really great flip hook where you can pull down the hook you want to use and push it back up when you don't want to use it, and you can space the hook use as you need it. I'm planning on a getting one for coats for a kitchen nook. In your place, I'd get either the longest (36") or two or three of the smaller ones and place them at different heights and spaces. Birds: These come in different lengths and colors
