With the white cabinets, I am with Mocha, get some color on those walls. Since it is such a wide open space, and a bright room, you could go with a really warm color. Or, if you just can't bring yourself to pull off that paper, try stenciling over the top or put up a boarder. Try pulling colors in from the surrounding rooms. I see that the next room is yellow. I like that, you could go with a warmer yellow, just enough contrast to notice a change. Or you can go with a cooler color that has a yellow hue to it. Steer clear of colors that have gray in it unless you plan on changing your living room color. My suggestion is go to www.behr.com and play with the colors and room designers to find what colors you like.

In the last house my dh built, the kitchen was sort of similar to that, except that instead of it being a sitting area/island, you had the sink and dishwasher plus two different work stations! I just lusted over that kitchen!

Thanks!

Also, not sure I want to go with purple, as the room next to this one is mainly purple...
or would it be good to have two similar next to each other...?

Hi Julie...if you want to keep the rug in the bathroom, looks like it matches the blue on the curtain and you could take the blue colour off the shower curtain and use that one...or in the next room it has green on the wall as an accent, you could bring that colour into the bathroom too as there is green on the bottom of the shower curtain. By taking the green from one room to the next even if it is just an accent colour, it brings a colour flow through the rooms (if that makes sense) What do you think?

green might work... I s'pose I could keep the throw rug too... I think I can't do yellow (cuz whole hallway is already yellow and not as bright as the yellow on the shower curtain.) Same with Purple--just not the same shade as room next to it... So green just might be the answer... Also, are borders out? There is a border with the pups and kitties on it and I think a little striping too. And if I did go with the border, should I do just the top or should I do middle and use two different color paints???

that green sure is bright, lol I would make sure you tone it down and match the green on the curtain with it I personally wouldn't go with a border as it make make your room look smaller looking and it will take away from your cool shower curtain. Your shower curtain is your focal point. I would leave it to some simple things on the wall, perhaps a metal towel holder or something that would accent some of the other colours from the shower curtain.

I like either the blue or purple. The walls and bed skirt are the only purple in the other room so I don't think you are over doing it. The yellow I think would be too much since your hallway is all yellow. The blue I think looks really nice you can accent the room with the dark blue too as there is light blue and dark blue on the little dog. I am not sure of the orange...the purple and blue colours really punch out your shower curtain where as I don't get the same from the orange. They seem to blend nicely together (IMHO )

I like the blue, it would blend with the bedroom and hallway well too. Cute shower curtain!

I have been re-decorating my basement. We never went down there because it was soooooo dark. The floors were dark chocolate and the walls were dark paneling, yuk. It has turned into a place to chunk spare furniture so hence it was a huge storage room(s) with huge spiders and spider webs. I painted the walls eggshell and the floors beige. It turned out pretty good, at least the people that have visited since I finished it love it. It was hard work and creepy because it was like a dungeon with critters. Here is a couple of pictures of the walls and floors before.

Different angle. The front and side of the bar was paneled in the same ugly paneling as the picture above.
