I really like 2" wood blinds, too. We have them in the upper bedrooms that face the back of the house (to save money), and they look great. I do love the look of bamboo and woven wood shades. You can get them with a blackout liner so they don't let in as much light. I had considered them but didn't get them because the "all or nothing" aspect(you can only raise or lower). It doesn't sound like that's an issue for you, though, since privacy is not an issue.

Forgive me, but I can't help envisaging an architect giggling with malicious glee putting all those openings in that space. Not easy to deal with. I think a bit more explanation would help, as below. And what is that big black box in the bottom pic? A refrigerator? A moveable thing? A floor plan showing approximate measurements would help -- a rough one would be fine -- as it is hard to gauge those on a wide-angle pic.

Arapaho, thank you for that site. I've been using similar information but from encycolorpedia.com which gives you closest colors in different brands with an error coefficient to show you how far off they are as well as shades, coordinating colors and more. aktillery, the fan is the same in the photo above so the colors, left to right are Cream No 44, ringwold ground, and matchstick. I agree with you. At this point I'm leaning heavily toward cream No 44. But the sun is out today, so I'll be able to see the paint swatches in a much better light.

the upper right green is nice. so are any of the left column. whites are good. any of the prints except for that striped one, I like. I really like this one https://www.etsy.com/listing/1153775224/new-p-kaufmann-brissac-blue-floral-print https://www.etsy.com/listing/472418967/new-p-kaufmann-brissac-floral-print I'd mix this one w/the same color greens and blues. the print is good because it gives some variation. as long as the print pillows are in the same shades/tones as the solid pillows, it will work https://www.perigold.com/Loom-Decor--Hillside-Square-Cotton-Pillow-Cover-and-Insert-PLOOMROOFTOP-GARDENPOSY-GREEN-L1227-K~LMDE1229.html
