I think Redbazel gave a great opinion. I too am not crazy about the faux finish part - but perhaps the walls will feel different when all the furnishings and fabrics are in the room. What does the furniture look like - what is the bedding like? What look are you trying to create? If you like the green on the upper wall, do you have any of that color left? Could you mix just white and that green to get a softer shade, and put that below? Or, have you checked out the 'oops' paints at the home centers that are often sold for $5.00 a gallon - you might find another color to work below. But again, it may have a whole different feel depending on what is coming in as furniture, bedding and decor. Can you share that with us?

I see uppers and a base cabinet for storage on your sink wall, and something across the aisle in the island... But I'm not sure if that's storage or not. Anyway, you don't seem that short on storage on that wall, and I would never want the main sink directly across from the stove if I could help it, so a totally different opinion than Drachiele. In that case, you'd be competing for storage with the cooking and prep area. I do agree that 45-48" of aisle would be nice in front of the dishwashers. We have 48" in between our dishwasher/sink run and the island, and it's good in a busy kitchen. A prep sink in the island will make your prep much nicer (no prepping food over dirty dishes), give you separated zones for multiple workers, and solve the distance problem you were concerned about.

I will have to take a picture of the label when I get home tonight, it's a custom mix. The SW near our house is not so great as the employees are newbies, so the color was mixed at Home Depot by "the paint man" in Behr Marquee. It's been remixed for multiple samples and in gallon format to make sure the color would stat the same. YEAH! I am so happy you guys like this, this has been going on for months trying to find the color since my 2 year old artist created a need for re-painting.

I have a gorgeous glass/wood coffee table that sat very proudly in my living room, however the addition of a toddler meant more space was needed and I packed it away, for now. I introduced the ottoman as a means of toy storage (hiding) and a coffee table of sorts. I have two side tables either side of the linen couch and then the console that you can see in the image. I often feel this looks cluttered. Perhaps I'll look at adding two table lamps to the side tables either side of the linen couch (any recommendations?), a print above the linen couch, another print above the console and another above the brown leather? Is that too many prints!? What are the rules with prints in the one room, do you stick to one theme/genre/tone? I seem to like photography prints and vintage pop art most but will go with whatever works. I'd love to know what type art people think I should consider, I've seen some lovely photography prints of treetops adorned with snow, cactuses, whisper white horses, lovely bridges, etc. With regard to rug, does anyone think I should replace the cow hide with perhaps a very muted jewel tone circular or rectangular rug? The deer head and cushions on the brown leather couch are going, going, gone!! Loving the recommendations, keep them coming please!!
