Jeez, I feel like such a cliche - I am working from home in beautiful San Francisco, looking up holistic rubs for shins from too much outdoor running, while I am on day 9 of the master cleanse....true story.

oh, and you could even go with an inexpensive white half dome lampshade from ikea.

I would paint the floors white with a latex paint that would withstand the traffic, they make special paint for that. I would paint the lower cabinet a vibrant color of your choosing - yellow, kelly green, royal blue, etc. I would then paint the upper cabinets white and replace the counter top. To keep the cost low go to ikea or home depot and buy a prefab counter top slab. You can use a butcher block top so you can even cut directly on it or a white corian. I would then paint the upper cabinets white and use a streamlined gold or silver hardware. the white uppers and white floors would really make the space larger and the colored lower cabinets would add that pop of color needed. The trailer would take a very mod pop vibe. You can then add whatever little touches to personalize it.

its for teens/ kids I would be bold and use a kelly green or canary yellow to keep it nuetral and fun. The you could mix in so lapis accessories such as throw pillow with a little lapis or even a throw with lapis in it at the end of the bed just to bring the color from off the floor. Bedding will depend on where you are located. If it's typically warm dont spend the money on a duvet, just get a coverlet and some blankets. For the sheets just go simple with white or off white.

recnetly went through this; I evicted him and steamed the walls of the room and febreezed the hell out of the carpet (non-aresol), wool-lite carpet, and painted. It was gone. Get rid of your roommate or tell the landlord to add a no smoking rule and your roommate has I beleive, a month to comply.

I would say that rather then declutter you need to redistribute the items that you have and also add some symmetry to your mantel/bookcase. The posted plant that you have above the TV, if you can find and purchase a second arrangement like that they would look great framing the mirror in the center and then maybe add some candlesticks of sorts and on little trinket. You definitely need more books opposite the TV; in between the books you can add some of your objects. In the spaces that you have added objects dont be affraid to layer in a couple of places - a taller object (maybe a finiale) with a smaller picture frame in front of it; won't look cluttered and will create a little depth. Definitely lower the amount of framed pics and the gallery idea from Anna Europe is great, it would compliment your style with a touch of modernism. Unless you have past Christmas misgivings please get rid of the wooden deer; too kitschy for farmhouse modern and too seasonal (I bet you put red bows around them around the holidays and call it a day). Other then some tweaks you have a great space.
