Need help deciding on colors, priorities and style, especially with limited budget
Comments (4)For the biggest impact and visual change for you to appreciate and to serve as motivation, I think paint and flooring in the room you spend the most time in as a family would be a first step. If you can finish the family room, you'll have a place to retreat from all the unfinished spaces and you can feel that, yes, these projects are doable! Another way to prioritize is to "eat your peas first." That means doing the most invasive, distasteful project first, if you can afford it. Personally, I'd rather paint before my new floors went down so any spills or accidents could be ripped up....See MoreLight fixture does not match table, but options limited with ceiling
Comments (1)Yes. Remove the light and install recessed lighting....See MoreWood finish and limits
Comments (12)I love your baseboard colour. That's what I would use, or maybe a bit darker so the trim provides contrast--I like whitewash but personally tire of it quickly. It's not a project you'll want to redo any time soon. Are there cupboards in your pantry, and if so what colour are they? The inspiration pic wall is similar in tone to the cupboards. Notice also that their trim is a contrast to the floor and wall....See MoreBedroom issues: symmetry, size, and space limitations
Comments (3)Go to some antique shops and look for the high small night stands. In Europe, their rooms are much smaller in general and they made these tall narrow bedstands. Antiques are selling at rock bottom prices right now, so you could probably pick up a pair for a very low price. Even if they are beat up even better, lower price and then Chalk paint them in white or color of your choice. The wall mounted plug in lamps (hoping for an outlet between the closet doors on that wall?????) but in any case I would look for that before any other methods. I think you have room, but measure to be sure and take the measurements with you. Some even have marble tops!...See MoreVirgil Carter Fine Art
