Nice room! It's practically a blank slate, what fun!
Well, everyone has some good suggestions, but I think the first thing you should do is pick a theme or design inspiration. Otherwis...
We have beech-ish colored cabinets, similar to idea. We ended adding a white countertop and some neutral tiles, which looks really fresh.
I do like your idea of dark gray with copper p...
What about a glaze?
I'm generally not a fan of faux finish or texture, but I once used a light/white glaze over blue. It definitely softened the color and gave it sort of a an old wall...
I am a huge huge fan of Flor tiles! I have a similar beige floor rug in my living room and just adore it. I can also attest to them being very user-friendly, easy to clean, easy to walk on and my p...
Wow, I love the view! In fact, I think a nice mellow/neutral accent wall would be great. It would bring a little color to the room, but wouldn't detract from the nice view and the greens of the fo...
Along the same line as blinds, I was thinking roller shades. It could ruin the clear glass/minimal aesthetic, but it might be more functional than adding and removing window clings all the time. Th...
I'm addicted to gray! What a great post. It's hard to find the right one though and the variations are so subtle.
Currently, my bedroom is Gray Owl (Benjamin Moore). It's really subtle...
It's a funny space, but a beautiful apartment! I love old-school ny apartments.
Why do anything with the space? It's such a luxury to have open floor space - gives some nice breathin...
You can keep it simple and just paint a nice beige or neutral tan. It will also be easy to re-paint back to white if needed.
Another option is to paint just one bold accent wall, taki...
I love everyone's ideas. I don't really have any new ones to contribute. However, I will chime in on three things:
1- FLOR tiles. We have the fedora tiles and I love them. Durable, e...
I agree that you should repaint if it bothers you. However, I think the color looks really nice in the photo.
You can stick with whites and neutrals to keep it calm and refreshing.
Maybe you could try some pattern.
What if you painted the top part of the wall black (which will fade it out) and then did a hip wall paper on the bottom (which will pop it out). You ...
We are in the middle of remodeling our kitchen too!
This a great post and I love all of the comments, as I'm also wondering how to function without a kitchen.
We have res...
It's a nice upgrade, but I have to concur that the ceiling beams (particularly the one directly cutting the door in half) are very poor feng shui.
I'm no feng shui master, but many of ...
Wow, a blank slate! What fun. I agree, check out the Small Cool stuff for inspiration.
You should pick a theme or a color scheme you like and then carry it out. Here are some more th...

Yes, how did you paint the mural? DIY or did you have a mural painter, stencil, etc? It's quite nice and subtle.

What if you just paint? Paint can define and separate the entrance area in a nice way. http://img.skitch.com/20...
