It's an exceptionally unique bedroom. Since there's so much wood and the carpet seems to be brown as well, I'd go with a nice light color for your bedding. Light blue does go beautifully with brown. I have always found that getting my bedding first was the way to go. Then I pull a color or two from there for window treatments, art, pillows, wall color, etc. You need to lighten it up. You said your husband wants to stay away from yellow, but I just saw a beautiful bedding set that has light blue and yellow on a white background from which you could pull out the blues and it would be light and cheerful.

I might get a table for the kitchen, the one in the picture is actually a desk with some electrical equipment in it. So I don't want to put it in the kitchen. I really like the orange or a pale blue as well! I saw an apartment with similar design to my condo and they had a light blue accent. It worked well, though I really like that orange... I'm definitely thinking the same thing about the rug. I'm going to keep an eye out for one, and for some redone sleeper sofas per april's suggestion. I haven't seen them before, but if I can find one that would be perfect. As for the position of the TV, I'm not sure which I like more. Part of the reason that I have it on the wall I do is that you can view it while making food in the kitchen as well. I've gone back and forward myself with it. I could really use some suggestions for the bedroom everyone, it's so white and bland currently :/.

I also vote no to the plastic liner. hard to clean and wasteful to just replace them all the time. Nylon curtains can be thrown in the wash and bleached (it's easier to wash them routinely though, before the bottom hem gets moldy). I use this kind of hook which makes that chore super easy. I used to have two curtains doubled up on regular hooks and that worked just fine, btw. double sided hooks or double rods are not really necessary unless you just like the way it looks.
