          • Colorful and Happy Dining Room, The kitchen and dining room is my favorite room in the house because of this turquoise-y color and the red accents (and mexican/turkish tile accents in kitchen which you can't see).  It makes me so happy.  However, I know I need to neutralize this and the pendant lamp if I want to resell in the next few years.  Thinking about going with a graying blue-green (that's about as neutral as I think I can stand).  Will also need to remove a lot of the photos and maybe add a large mirror on the far wall to bounce around some light in that otherwise dark space., Dining Rooms Design

          • Getting ready to make some changes, Light and airy transitional dining room,  Have had these vanilla walls for years-ready for a change! Wanting to put warm tone grasscloth on top, and minimal window treatment - have silhouette shades now but need a finishing touch.  Rug stays, just got it recently.  Cabinet has to stay, but maybe a different finish-paint or glaze? Want to keep the look clean and simple., Dining Rooms Design

          • Green and Serene Master Bedroom, I really love this paint color - quaking aspen by Martha Stewart - and the light wood tones contrasted with the mostly  black and white prints and dark frames.  However, time for some updates -- planning to replace carpet, lighten color a bit, introduce some modern graphic blues in bedding, curtains, softer chair and lighter frames., Bedrooms Design

          • Light and airy living room, Our living room has been this way for a few years now.  I do change out the pillows and artwork with the seasons.  Have always debated as to putting up a window treatment; would do floor to ceiling sheers, nothing heavy.  We enjoy the open feeling and privacy is not an issue.  But I wonder if it would finish off the room?  Need to replace carpet soon-would like to go hardwood (dining, kitchen, foyer are wood) but hubby says no.  If carpet, thinking of tone on tone textured pattern.  Still want to keep it light.  We do use this room alot; light colors haven't really been a problem., Living Rooms Design
