Thanks Christopher_H - i just posted on home decorating forum.

We Recently transformed our kitchen in our raised ranch home. Took out a small wall. Kitchen is now open to living room/great room. We have natural cherry shaker cabinets & doors now. I have always loved natural cherry wood. Granite counters. I do Love what we have so far!! I thought I wanted to go for gray paint throughout: living room, entry, & hallway. Blue/Gray with a accent red wall. But not sure I’m loving it now looking at some of my picks so far. My husband & I disagree on color likes for the most part. I don’t like pastels, especially pink tones. And won’t do white. Recommendations welcome. Please and thank you.

Find a curtain you love to start your color scheme and wall paint color for the room, get the 93 inch length, hang at a minimum a one inch diameter rod at the ceiling or midway between top of window and ceiling. Have rods extend 8-10 inches beyond window sides; you will need 120 inch wide rod I would think? Check out home goods. Find panels you love that are the right length, and buy four panels, two for each side of window for fullness. Then pick a paint color that matches or blends with your curtains, on the paint chip, go two shades lighter than the color you actually like. Paint the walls, hang the curtains, replace your furnishings. One of the best books I have ever read on first time design/decorating is call Big Design, Small Budget by Betsy Helmuth....see if you can get it from your library; a wealth of practical, workable, budget minded interior design how to's and advice....I refer to mind a lot. Good luck!

I was thinking about moving it because someone else has said that too. I originally had it on the stand in the pic and thought about putting it on that wall. But when I do that the furniture arrangement doesn't really work out that good.
