Hi Laura - How about TV on a low console very close to the counter/bar. You could put TV on a swivel base. Or you could do a long low console to run the full length of window wall. Put TV on right side of window (facing us) and use left side for bar items or dining stuff. If you put TV next to counter you would be able to see from dining area also, but on other side you could see from kitchen. I think the white linen panels and roller shade would look great. The War is Over picture above is another nice option - I personally would prefer having the TV on the window wall so you can actually see the TV from the couch without getting a crick in your neck. I also think it could look very cool.

awesome i think that is the color i just did a search and if it is how it looks in the pictures i think that is very close to what i want. Thank you sooo much

As pkpk23 said above, it is possible to determine the original color schemes. You might be able to get a rough guess by scraping through the paint in areas that are most likely to be original wood. Or for a more accurate methodology, there are professionals who will do scrapings, take representative samples to look at under a microscope and be able to determine which coats were primers, or the original top coat, and where original colors may have been changed by dirt or fading. If on the other hand you are simply looking for appropriate colors, Victorian color schemes were typically warm earth tones ranging from greens to oranges and reds to yellows. See below for some typical colors:Unlike how many people tend to think about Victorian houses today, pastel and bright colors were typically not used. Your house is well setup to have at least four colors, and I believe it could handle at least six different colors. I would select a color each for the siding, trim, windows, and the recessed panels in the gable end and between the first floor and second floor windows. One typical color scheme would be green for the siding, a buff or pale gold color for the trim and a darker version of the trim for the panels. The windows and storms could than be painted a dark green, or for a pop of color a cinnamon red. Windows typically were dark in color on Victorian houses. For a more complex color scheme the second floor can be a slightly darker shade of the same hue used on the first floor. Also a sixth accent color that is in the same color range as the trim or windows could be employed to accent places like the porch ceiling, the brackets below the third floor, and the details of the front gable trim (bargeboard) that are currently getting lost. This color scheme is a little different than the one described above, but gives you an idea of how greens, yellows, and reds were historically employed on Victorian houses: Here is an example that uses green with brown instead of yellow, and makes greater use of red. Note that this is a pretty elaborate house with I believe a 16 color paint scheme, and there would be no expectation that your house would ever need that many Have fun with your project. A historically accurate color scheme will really enhance your home and make it one of the stars of the neighborhood.

Hi, Linda — your picture isn’t showing up. The board is glitchy with uploading photos, but maybe you can get one to post here in the comments. Be sure it’s clear and not grayed-out before submitting.
