A warm gray would probably look nice. The couch looks a little cramped on its current wall - is it possible for you to switch the couch and tv? The couch doesn't necessarily need to be centered with the tv to look good. If you put the tv on the current couch wall it will open up the walkway a lot more, and then you can put a desk or reading chair in that wall space next to the kitchen entry for extra seating/conversation space.

Just as the first commenter said, this is the first house tour in a loooooooong time that really impressed me and made me wish I could make instant modifications to my industrial loft! Love that kitchen and awesome bedroom doors!

@Jason Yang -- my husband and I let our dog sleep on the bed, but we have a rule that she is not allowed on any other furniture unless she is "invited." To teach her this, we would yell at her and make her get off the couch/chairs if she jumped up on her own. If she sat nicely while we were on the couch we'd ask her to come up. She sort of just figured out that she's not allowed up unless we say it's okay. (Though, I must admit, I've caught her sneaking up on the couch to lay in the sunshine in the morning...think we finally got her to stop that though) Good luck!

PS an electric stapler will be your new BFF!

I literally just pinned your entire house call. I LOVE it!

I clicked on this house tour just to find out where you got the rug in the LR - it's gorgeous, wish it was available online!

I own my condo (loft), and absolutely love it...but I do advise buyers and renters alike to check out your building's management company and cable/Internet providers if they're part of your assessments. I've had a nightmare of a time with our cable provider, but luckily a good management company helps mitigate that.

I just bought a seat-belt harness and zipline restraint system for my dog. We're trying it out soon for a long road trip - I hope it goes well!

PS I also love that you matched the pattern up on the end of each chair so that each chair is truly identical. Makes it look professional, rather than DIY. Good work

@Joey C - I was thinking the same thing re: filling water bottles. Water fountains and bathroom faucets don't seem like clean places to get water - even if they are harmless as KimberlyRose seems to think. I've thought about buying a water Bobble to bring to the airport and then just going to a restaurant with fountain drinks and asking them to fill it with water. I've never been denied simple water from a food vender (good tip for water at sporting events too, rather than paying five bucks for a bottle). And those fountain beverage systems are usually triple filtered so the water is cleaner to start.
