Thank you all for your input! We've started from scratch essentially in this home because it's much larger than our first home and we no longer want our college furniture. :) I've been on here a lot asking about various rooms. I have so many unfinished projects...I don't know when I'll ever finish a room! Lizzie, what bed does your DS have? I've seen a lot at West Elm that I like. And I'm very excited they've reopened a few World Markets in my state after they closed them all a few years ago. Too bad the closest one is two hours away. Our old headboard was from there and it's in the guest room now since we updated to a king bed. Foxespad, you nailed it: I like the curtains but I'm not wild about them with the bedding. I also like that blue/grey color. I picked a similar color for the main part of our house. It looks great with dark wood tones and I change it up with different accent colors. But, for our bedroom, DH and I like the idea of a bright, airy kind of space grounded with wood pieces. Kswl, you know, honestly, I didn't even consider something as simple as white curtains. I just assumed they should be a pattern. That would definitely make it a lot easier. Privacy is not an issue, but light control is. On the other side of the field a couple miles away is a small airport. Just single engine planes. But the airport runway lights sweep through our room some nights. What do you think of my idea as using doors as window treatments? For the wide, short window that's above our bed. I'm thinking something like this, but not painted. A distressed barn door look, or if I could find some old carved doors, that would be better.

Slow done a bit on the decision making for a moment. This is a marathon, not a sprint. Your painted surfaces need to be primed anyway so that would be a good place to start. The paint store can tint your primer, a good one is BenMoore FreshSart, It is very durable on its own and can act as a 'decision neutral color' to help your choices by knocking out the existing color. Just might be an 'ah ha' moment when that wall color is gone. Paint out the baseboard that is part of your backsplash also. The white is distracting. Another trick is to pick up a 6 pack of white poster board. (they even have it at any pharmacy usually or hobby store). Paint choices on your boards, two side can give you 12 choices. Maybe a friend or neighbor has a wall color you might like...they probably have some left over... they could give you a small container of. I use a large masking self-stick, low-tack paper. That way i can quickly apply a large section during a 5 min. meeting. 10 out of 10 times the client does not believe the color is what they chose previously. I also have multiple alternatives that i create that is what i 'think' they meant. You are not alone in being a bit frustrated at this point. Ultimately it is your choice, your kitchen. Your granite is the star and the big ticket element. Swimming in a sea of oak AND a busy decorative backsplash might just confuse the eye.

I kind of think the colors look too close together. The chair is a greyish brown. It will seem like you were trying to match them and got it wrong. also, no offense, but there are way better looking recliners in that price range, the one you posted absolutely does not go with that loveseat. I prefer the ones decoenthusiaste posted. Or La Z Boy has some decent styles. This Scarlett Recliner would work so much better: Or if you need it to be big and have a good head rest, Collage Wall:

my eyesight isnt perfect but nevertheless without a close-up w lights on its hard to tell anything. I think it looks fine for a completed project. If you are not sure best is to live with it for a while , because..... are you hinting at pulling it out? I would not do that. everything is cool tones w floor/white cabs/ counter and splash...stainless or chrome faucet yet??? olive green walls? okay well that would be the thing I'd be having 2nd thoughts about but anyway its just paint on walls and if you like it then good.....
