Ah I posted before I saw the last two replies! boxerpups, DH would never let me hear the end of it if I painted the built ins teal! It took 3 years of nagging, pleading, cajolling and completely unsubtle hints to get him to let me paint. Then the first batch of colors I picked he deemed *too pastel*. I was in Home Depot so often getting different samples the paint people ask after my kids now. It might work in my bedroom which is Behr Ultra's Natural Gray. I haven't done anything in there but paint the walls, and that rug and those pillows are gorgeous...

I KNOW I had updated pictures of our Cowboy Chic den but can't for the life of me find them. The 24x26 room isn't a brown brown, more of a orangy brown. Walls and sectional pretty much the same color. The carpet is an antelope print (that's what it's called but it's really an axis deer print, same as the skin on the coffee table)with brown in it. My punches of color are the pillows on the sectional. They're all the same style pillow in brick red, sage green, brownish green, orange, dark brown and gold. Even the tile is close in color and dark brown wood coffee table and end tables. This is the only picture I can find...oh, AND the ceiling in this large room is wood too. I think it's a personal preference whether or not you think it's too much of the same color. We've got a 10 foot long white Austin Chopped stone fireplace (goes all the way to the ceiling) that breaks up the color and plenty of other accessories on the walls (plus 10 windows). Monotone-ish den Vaulted ceiling Couch. We've had THREE couches in this den in 9 years :o The first leather sectional broke (handle) and was replaced under an extended warranty. The second leather set, I never liked. It was uncomfortable and too formal looking for our room. The third time was the charm and it's NOT leather. It's our favorite by far! We have two grandchildren that are here as often as they can talk their momma into letting them come over LOL At least 3 days a week. Even tho food and drink isn't allowed in there and shoes are supposed to come off at the door, stuff happens. Hands don't get wiped or they'll sneak a leaky sippy cup in there while I'm not looking. This is some kind of microfiber that at first glance and especially at a distance, looks like leather. A wipe with a damp microfiber cloth is all it takes to clean it. It's definitely a miracle fabric :) And the baby on the couch...he's the best accessory :)

Trim idea.

We would like to remodel the whole house room by room as we enjoy doing most of the work ourselves. Refinishing the wood floors is on my list after my toddler exits the hell on wheels stage. I don't believe the tile is under the kitchen cabinets, I definitely want to change the kitchen layout. The roof, living room windows, and kitchen appliances are damaged and need replaced this year. I also need to replace all the bathroom sinks because they are not kid friendly. I'm considering putting in more substantial baseboards as the current ones seem very cheap compared to the crown. I agree with updating all the lighting and adding updates through furniture and decor for now. Thank you all for the advice! It helps to have outside opinions.
