If you have outdoor exposure, I'd say tile is about the most practical thing you can do (and since I'm not a tile fan, that's saying something, LOL). There are beautiful rectified porcelain tiles that have a marble look without the need to baby them. Your biggest hassle is demolishing the old flooring. If the old tiles show no signs of cracking to indicate deflection issues, you should have no problem installing a new tile floor. Good luck!

Since you asked "what would you do" I'll answer what I personally would do. 1. Make a budget of how much I can spend on the entire room project. 2. Find some pics of LR's I love for inspiration. 3. Find a print I'd love to use even it's just for cushions. Or a framed print. Or something I have that I love that *must* be in that room. Looking at drapery fabrics in a fabric store is often a good place for inspiration and I might buy a yard of fabric to use. Shop my house and assemble any decorative colored objects I have to see if there is a color theme I love. Look at well loved items or art I own for inspiration. Choose a paint color (warm color for a north facing room) from the print/art/object and paint walls, do ceiling in a lighter shade of the same color. I believe it's easier to find an inspiration piece from which to choose a color rather than trying to pick one from the thousands (millions) that are available. Paint can be mixed, colors of other things cannot be. 4. Move existing furniture into the room and live with it awhile. 5. Find a large 'something' for the tall wall, whether it's a quilt, a print, or wallpaper applied to the wall and framed with molding. In one house I hung one of those cheap made in India cotton bedspreads which had the tree of life printed on it. Large and colorful and it was the late 60's! This could be done as #3 but it might take some time and I don't believe art has to match. I'd look at a thousand inspiration pics of rooms with tall walls to find something that inspires. 6. Recognize that a good room is never 'finished' - as I find new treasures to add it will take on my personality. 7. Try to get over the idea that I am creating a room for a magazine spread or to post a brag on a forum. What I am doing is creating a room that I will love and my entire family will enjoy living in. It doesn't have to be perfect.

No idea......but I would say you really did score!! Screens like that were popular in the 1920's and early 30's....but I really can't say more. Does appear to be hand painted....lovely! This stirred a memory....I had a screen with my "nursery set"...a matching crib and chifferobe. I used the chifferobe long after the crib was handed down, but no idea what happened to the screen. My mother used to screen me from the open window and a possible draught.
