I might get a table for the kitchen, the one in the picture is actually a desk with some electrical equipment in it. So I don't want to put it in the kitchen. I really like the orange or a pale blue as well! I saw an apartment with similar design to my condo and they had a light blue accent. It worked well, though I really like that orange... I'm definitely thinking the same thing about the rug. I'm going to keep an eye out for one, and for some redone sleeper sofas per april's suggestion. I haven't seen them before, but if I can find one that would be perfect. As for the position of the TV, I'm not sure which I like more. Part of the reason that I have it on the wall I do is that you can view it while making food in the kitchen as well. I've gone back and forward myself with it. I could really use some suggestions for the bedroom everyone, it's so white and bland currently :/.

Depends on your skill level. How are experienced are with demo, framing, drywall, spackling, trim work, etc? If you are getting a bank loan it may be against the loan agreements. Your building dept may not allow it as you wioll more than likely need permits and a C of O. As you mention electrical work would need an electrician. Realistically if you need to ask if this would be DIY'able it probably is really not a good idea to attempt.

We need images?:)
