I'd consider putting the two towel holders in between the two vanities, on the side of each vanity. One on the right side of the left vanity, one on the left side of the vanity on the right. Not on the wall between the vanities, but on the sides of the vanities themselves. That keeps movement of wet hands going towards the center of the two vanities and visually keeps things sort of balanced. The color of your hand towels can be used to add a punch of accent color to the room as well. Mongo (the un-decorator)

I like all your pull choices, but I have to admit the first stands out to me. My island, which is not built in so technically a piece of furniture, has different knobs than my perimeter. If some pulls are more expensive, you could use those on the island, and simpler on the perimeter - if budget is a factor. Love the countertops. For cottage, think about subway tile (which I have) or you also might want to consider beadboard. Some say beadboard is harder to keep clean, but I honestly have never found my backsplash to get all that dirty - but I do not have a slide in range and it looks like you don't either - otherwise you would need to consider making sure there is something fire proof behind the range. I don't know what the floral mosaics are - could you post a pic? I love floral anything:) Just something to consider - being short, I am not overly fond of microwaves over the range. I moved my microwave down from a micro shelf that was equally high a few years ago. If you can conceive of ever doing the same, save enough leftover tile to fill in the space if you ever change over to a dedicated vent, or take the micro down, tile behind and then put it back up so the tile is there just in case. Beadboard would not be too hard to patch in if ever needed. For down the road - two decor items that I have used in my cottage kitchen decor are vintage china and floral / botanical art. My kitchen is not like yours - it is older cabinets, but there are pics in my "my pics" idea book.

You've done a really nice job. Frankly, I think a bedroom should be a little...not blah, maybe...but serene. I also wonder who decided people needed or wanted master suites that were as large as great rooms, though it looks like you've made good use of yours. I'm really not going to be of much help here. If you really want color, consider adding a bit in some art, either over the bed or in place of the horse painting, and then use the colors in that to inform a couple of pillows and throws. I could see adding something in a dusty blue here.

Adding a large dressing room is a great idea. The door next to sofa is a moderate sized walk in closet. Next to bed is a 6 ft closet with slider doors. As-is, the layout is very functional for us. It reminds us of the way large suites are laid out in nice hotels; usually in addition to the bed, you have a place to sit, and a place to write. The desk will serve as a writing desk and vanity, since we don't have a sitdown vanity in the bathroom. The sofa is used for afternoon naps, curling up to read a book, or enjoy a movie, so we get plenty of use from that. The other idea we wanted to do in place of the desk, is add a built in dresser from stretching from door to wall, (marble or wood top, white cabinet fronts). That would free up the need for the standalone chest and dresser. In place of dresser would be a vanity with wall mounted mirror, that could double as a writing desk, and in place of the chest of drawers would be a wall mounted full length mirror with an accent stool/pouf for sitting and getting dressed, so essentially it covers all our needs... dressing area, vanity, writing desk, and sofa stays in place. Thanks for the input. in place of dresser in place of chest of drawers an accent stool tucked neatly in front of mirror (not necessarily this one)
