living room

Reply to: One thing that's helped me a lot with decor decisions is reminding myself that there's no ONE TRUE PERFECT way to do a room. That touches on that preconceived picture of the end result you mention. If I'm having trouble winnowing down my colour scheme, it's because there are many appealing options that would lead to fabulous outcomes. And that's all right. Choosing is hard but it's also fun and really, what's the worst that could happen? If I'm not pleased with the whole, could I tweak an element to improve it? Asking myself that question offers me perspective and a sense of control. It IS daunting to reno and furnish a house to make a home.

Reply to: This house is similar to what I'm going for overall, they have the trimmed-out widows as my contractor suggested to fix the problem. I don't actually hate it. Do you? http://houzz.com/photos/21242445

Reply to: I like the door in the wood finish. You porch concrete paint is throwing off the color of the siding. The floor paint is way too blue and making your siding color appear more pink in undertone. No real reason to have a railing around a porch that has no drop-off. Address numbers would look better in black to match the frame of your windows.
