Annie - thank you for the compliment. I will have to look at hardware to see if an inside mount will fit as the frame does look quite shallow (an excuse to go to the fabric store!) Ratherbesewing (as would I!) - all trim, the ceiling and anaglypta paper are a cool white. When you say "neutral" do you mean to introduce another colour or keep it white or green (like the walls). I've appended a picture that includes the couch and fireplace so you can see the other colours in the room. Elendi - I used a Benjamin Moore paint called Mountain Air (CC-636). I really like it too! Bronwynsmom - My husband liked the idea of hanging whatever is ultimately chosen from the ceiling as well as then almost the entire window shows when they would be opened as very little light comes in as it is. Thank you all for the suggestions. Rosamond

So far, everyone is liking option 3. If I go with 3, what color towels? Keep the aqua blue & add green towels or go with pink & green towels in pic 2? There isn't any blue in the shower curtain, so I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't use it...or is it alright? I chose the aqua blue towels at first because my oldest daughter is 13 & is alittle sick of pink by now! But she'll survive! LOL!! Thanks everyone! Almost there!! With blue & green towels: with pink & green towels:

I like the Roman shades suggestion, mainly because I dislike blinds and curtains, beautiful view btw. And yes, move the dresser. And yes, Rachel age is just a number, but even though I’m thin & workout several times a week I’m too old for a bikini.

I happened to notice your dining room rug and I'm sorry to say it's much too small. The rug should be large enough so that you when you stand up and pull the chairs back the chairs are still on the rug. This will also give more emphasis to this area as a room instead of just a small space. I would wait, however, until you've chosen your living room rug so that the two rugs will be complementary in color and style. The size of the living room rug, by the way, should also have a very generous size. I would personally choose plain white or cream colored curtains, or curtains with a subtle pattern and color if your carpet and pillows are colorful and you put wall art in this room (which it needs). With the darker patterned curtains your eyes will go straight toward the windows, whereas the attention should be directed to the room itself.
