I agree with everyone else that the tv over the fireplace might be too high. Someone said there are issues with ghost pictures and with heat from the fire. I would probably look into doing the entertainment wall where you have the armoire and use a tv stand with bookcases on either side. You could use baskets on the bookcase shelves, along with accents in whichever colors you choose. Because I've been there, done that, I suggest making sure the bookcases are attached to the wall in case a little one decides to climb them. :) As for your couch, if you like the bones of the couch, why not see about getting some foam inserts cut to replace the insides of the cushions? Also, most department stores sell slipcovers for couches. Wally world's quality isn't that great, but theirs run about $100 and they are washable. If you sew, it's fairly simple to make a slipcover yourself. I would probably look for furniture on Craig's List, especially the bookcases and tv stand. Even if the woods weren't exact matches, the price will be much less than buying new and paint covers multitudes of defects. Saving on the furniture would allow you to put a little more into the rugs and accessories, although I see rugs all the time on CL as well. Adding more greenery (I'm jealous of your green thumb!) and some accent pieces will make it feel more homey for now. As you add in the other things, slipcovers, rugs, bookcases, you will see it all come together. However, I don't think it looks bad right now, at all. Your home has a great layout; you have some really nice pieces in there, and everything isn't too matchy-matchy. I'd feel comfortable sitting on your couch or having a cup of coffee at the kitchen table. To me, that's the true test of a home. If I don't feel like I could touch anything in the house, I won't come back. I'd visit you more than once! :)

Thank you for this suggestion... I am torn as well with the remodel of this 25 yr old home. I chose cherry floors, SW Sand Beach paint with BM White Dove trim. Nothing as grand as the house above, my ceiling are low, lighting was a challenge, plus kitchen has cherry cabinets as well. I am going with a quartz countertop with a marble look to lighten up the kitchen. Everything piece of trim was solid oak in the house. Now on the window treatments and furniture. Any further suggestions?

I'm somewhat stuck with the bedroom furniture that is shown in the photos so I need to find a dresser that would match or at least not look odd amongst these pieces. I was hoping for a black wood or darker brown, in a glam/transitional or even a Mediterranean style . as you can see from my rooms layout, it is oddly shaped so my only requirement is that it's tall instead of wide and the drawer are deep. Another option would be a lingerie chest and then a smaller 4 drawer dresser for sweaters, etc. my bed is a med. brown wood color with slight orange tones. Also pictures is a mirrored desk used as a makeup vanity with a matching mirror and a white/mirrored stool. then I have the large standing mirror that is a champagne gold. I've also got a sheepskin rug which I love and looks nice with the mirror I know, nothing is consistent. but for the foreseeable future I'm stuck with what I got so any ideas on a dresser that would not clash with these pieces would be great! also, I'm.currently at a loss for where to place my bedroom furniture! currently the vanity is against the diagonal wall, which looks nice but it leaves me with very few options for where to place the mirror. the bed needs to be on either long wall but I can't decide which. help!

The bathroom's fully gutted. No walls, flooring or other material yet. That's what we're trying to decide now. I was thinking of going with simple white walls because the space is so small. We've only purchased this vanity and sink (a slightly longer version than the picture), a matching linen tower (the grey wood color) and bathroom hardware in chrome. We've also purchased a simple mirror with LED lighting all around.
