I am in the same situation with all new, beige, builder-installed tiles and cabinets.

In my Beige bathroom I painted the walls a deep blue (Farrow Ball Railings) so the beige is a calm contrast (I think). If you can't paint, maybe a deep, dark hue in mat, towels, Curtains would help?

I adore the look of my estate emulsion (Elephant Breath -- heavenly! and everyone asks what it is) but it's only been up 6 months and I"ve already marked it up quite a bit. My friend who sent me to F&B in the first place uses the Modern emulsion and it still looks very matte so I'd go with that next time I think, for most rooms anyway.

I want to know what the brown-gray paint is, too. It almost looks like Benjamin Moore GRay Mountain but there are so many variations!

I agree with the post about convenience. Iam all for the multi-purpose guest bedroom. Ours is an office with a very comfy sofabed.

why not? We also hung one by Le Klint in our bedroom. SherryBinNH is right that it's not quite enough light for reading-- bedside lamps work for that -- but it's so lovely to lie and look at it.

Stefanie - I, too, was wondering about the Gray paint shade. Thanks!

I've had friends who liked Culver City, too, for the same reasons. Fairfax Village has similar advantages-- not the very cheapest but very convenient, walkable, but also pretty and cultural (all this in LA! ;) ) The local school is apparently OK.

My husband and I just had this discussion. We have a full office set up in the guest room but I've commandeered it as I'm writing a dissertation. We ended up agreeing to a *tiny* desk in the bedroom but to NOT keep anything on it. It is just to use for talking unexpected work calls or grabbing quiet time if the other rooms are busy.

i did it! I used "Railings" by Farrow and Ball, which is really a midnight blue. It provided some welcome punch against a mousey fawn-brown tile, a bit paler than the one in the photo above.

People sound shocked when I tell them, but I feel validated now, thanks!

Lovely place Rebeccah. Our new condo is configured the same way, with kitchen-island-diningroom-livingroom all flowing together. It was great to see how you set yours up.

Also, I have navy-blue paint left over from an old project and wondered if it might work on our kitchen walls, which are strips like yours-- so it's super to see that you did that and it DOES work.

@LIfeisgrand: Brilliant idea re: making the duvet. How do you make the fasterner-- velcro or snaps might be easy. I"m a beginner at sewing.

I Love the airy, minimal look (I think i's why the 'stuff' works so well) but... no curtains or blinds at all? I'd love to live like that but the neighbours! and the morning light!

Are there really no window coverings or are the hidden away, cunningly?
