Don't really like that bookshelf/stand there. Too much clutter in the area. Remove that, lower the picture that is between the doors and put a floor plant in the larger corner :)

brainstorming !

Thank you - I appreciate the suggestion. None of the greys I sampled worked so far but it’s possible I had the wrong shade- I will pick up a color chip of the grey you suggested. I realize my counters and tile clash - unfortunately I didn’t notice that when I had a small sample. I knew it wasn’t perfect but I was wanting to stay away from the pinkish beige and the taupe seemed to coordinate better than the grey. I should have gone simpler, with a shade of white instead of the taupe but hindsight is 20/20. Now I am trying to tie it all together somehow. Thanks again. Do you have any suggestions for towel/accessory colors??

Art is very personal. Look on Great Big Canvas for art printed on canvas which is safer to hang in an area where kids will be sitting. There are thousands of choices but you can use filters. They have 50% off sales all the time so don’t order until then. https://www.greatbigcanvas.com/ I would not get a glass topped table for everyday use with young children. Have you measured your space? A 48” table will be tight if the width of the space from wall to cabinet is only 7 or 8 ft.
