Hiya! I'm moving into my first house next month, and I can't stop thinking about this certain dilemma. My LR and DR/kitchen are all a relatively open space, which is fine but I would like to paint my kitchen red (I don't want to replace my countertops since they are brand new, and a burnt red is the only color that I think makes them look nice). I don't like accent walls, and I feel like the green wall connecting the LR and DR would serve as just that if I paint red right up to it. I would like to throw something up to separate the kitchen/dr from the living. Here are some of my ideas- create a large entryway between the two rooms (a larger version of the entryway that leads directly to the kitchen) , throw up a narrow wall (without the header), add a half wall with a bookcase open to both sides above it, build a half bookcase that is open only to the lr and build a bookcase that goes all the way to the ceiling that is open to both sides, install a narrow modular bookcase and somehow connect it to the ceiling so that it doesn't topple over. I've tried attaching some photoshopped pictures, but they aren't popping up. Hopefully this doesn't strain your imagination! Any suggestions/ideas would be appreciated!
