Laurie, Thank you so much for your warm compliment about my house. As far as the paint...we used Benjamin Moore throughout. I remember the white was called "Linen White" which is on BM's website. There are actually two beige colors used in the greatroom. "#1031" is written on top of the lighter beige paint can. When I looked at BM's website it shows "Carlisle Cream" for that number but looks very lavendar on my computer. Not like the real paint at all. I wish I could help you with the name of the darker beige we used but the store kind of tweaked that color for us. It was BM's Moorecraft SPEC paint and on the top of that can is written "MC #47" if that helps. bristlingacres, Thank you too for your compliment. All of our interior doors are stained with white trim. They are knotty alder. I'm posting one pic of the stairwell door which shows color and trim pretty good. I got some samples yesterday of Hunter Douglas woven wood shades. They seem very light. I can see through them easily and they come in a host of patterns. I downloaded a picture (sorry it REALLY tiny) and a darker color than I would choose. What does everyone think of this option??? Do you think I would need cloth curtains on the sides like in this picture?

Just one data point here. Most of the rules Livvysmom listed are at my neighborhood pool as well. 2. No Food, Glass, or Pets in pool area We have the same. People break the No Food part but the No Glass and No Pets are pretty strictly enforced for obvious reasons. 3. Persons having open cuts, sores, rashes or communicable disease are not permitted in pool. I don't think we have quite this rule because the kids always get cuts and the life guards put bandaids on them and send them back into the pool. 4. Children must be toilet trained, and if under 12 must be supervised by a responsible adult. Usually this has to be with health regulations for toilet training and insurance for the under 12. Our pool just changed the age to 12 (from 10) due to insurance. Swim diapers don't contain fecal matter so I'd rather children wearing swim diapers be banned than allowed. This is the first year my four year old son is allowed in the "big" pool because he did not toilet train until after he was three. 5. Adult (age 18 or over) hour is 3 pm-4 pm. 9. Only Coast Guard Approved personal flotation devices allowed, No swim fins, tanks, coins, floats or toys in pool area. The pool allows coins and toys (e.g., pool balls to toss around) but no fins, tanks (!), or flotation devices (waterwings and such). If a child needs a flotation device then the parent has to be with that child at all times. This is actually a safety issue so that parents don't get "lazy" about supervising a child who can't swim. People used to gripe about the flotation device rule until a 6yo child at another nearby pool drowned. He was wearing a flotation device of some sort, went to the restroom, took off the device and did not put it back on. Jumped into the pool. Drowned. The parent or adult in charge was not with the child at any point during this time. It's easy to blame the parent but I think putting a child in a flotation device gives a false sense of security for lots of people. 10. No horseplay, running, jumping or screaming. The extent of horseplay and screaming and jumping is usually up to the discretion of the life guards. Some are strict and some let the children (teens) play if they are the only ones in the pool area. 13. No Diving Obvious safety issues and insurance. We have a diving well. One member brought up the point that if the diving boards (low and high) were removed, the pool insurance would be alot less. The dive team parents objected to this notion.

Flipping the sofa and the TV is a great idea. When you do it, I'd get a longer media cabinet. Breezy white curtains will go a long way toward making it feel more beachy, but I'd change out the blinds for shades--probably woven woods--as well. You need a much larger rug, or none at all. And I'd have to change that light over the dining table. Something more casual that goes with your seagrass chairs.

Update: I have been decluttering and setting up this room! The layout looks great and things are coming together. HOWEVER, I just found out that we are expecting another baby! What would you suggest for an updated layout with an additional baby sleep space? Also, I want to note that I enjoy playing with my daughter in front of the windows. Maybe there’s a way to switch things around? I’m also looking to add more clothing storage for myself, too.
