Now that I post it, it's too much, too bright, and I am like mame, I need symmetry and balance.

Vnick I would not go with coffee colored walls for what looks like your Asian themed living room. I'd either go a light sage green or offwhite on 3 walls and red on another wall but have the red on the opposite wall your picture will be on.

OK Julie, this is not the best example, but you get my gist:

Ok, I agree with mocha on having 1 red wall, but if you look at how well the red and the tannish gray go in my #1 picture, it's a beautiful contrast. I think a sage and a red is too much color distraction, something neutral and not overwhelming is better for your base/majority color

Leave the green pillows and just add some red ones. I think the wall would be gorgeous in a celery green to pick up the green in the picture keeping the gold frame, too.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions ... you've given me a lot to think about. I'm not sure that I want to paint. But I do know I prefer the gold frame and, like Grace said, I think I'm going to add a few red pillows. I'll be sure to post an after picture in a week or so.

Thanks for all your help!!!

Julie,

Because it is a kitchen, what about some inspirational written words. You can buy easy peel and stick ones. We just got some for a blank space in our hallway....they read:

"Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow." Escapee's white scribbles gave me the idea. You could do them in white.

Fondly,
Wappy

Julie, were you wanting to get rid of the blue? i thought the addition of the red was to tie the blue into your other room.

Wapland, where can you get the peel & stick words?

Annie, I am not really trying to get rid of the blue as much as I am trying to avoid a red, white and blue americana theme....

Here in Canada they are in most home decorating stores. Try Home Depot. Our brand name is WALL TALK. I'll post pics sometime this week.

Fondly,

Julie - I am almost sure you can purchase stickers that are in the size of a tile and you just stick them over your existing tiles. You are then able to cover up the blue you no longer want.

If you go the Wappy route with the scripts etc. (which I think is awesome) then decide what colour etc.,

Julie, you can also paint the blue tiles too., you have to use a good primer and then use a melamine paint.

Julie, I don't think it looks Americana at all.

Okay, would this fixture look good above the island? This is silver, but they also have white. They have a variety of glass shades, including red ones. If we went with this, would red be too much? White with white might be too much white.

Or would a flatter, more unobtrusive fixture be better?

Then what suggestions do you have for the fixture above the kitchen table?

Should the two fixtures "match"?

Here are a few examples of the globes/shades...

I think that would be too many things handing down. I do love how the red paint brings out the tiffany chandelier. I would lose the blue tile cause it really ties in with the it too.
I would do a nice but not scene stealing like fixture and let the Tiffany shine.

So leave the tiffany. Get a flat (to the ceiling) island fixture and leave the blue tiles? (even tho you said lose them, I am guessing you meant leave them...?)

Is that all correct?
