JahRose's Profile

I'd either go very light grey on the walls *and* open shelving, and a slightly darker grey on the cabinets, or paint everything, the walls and the cabinets and the shelves, in one nice bright white (a cooler white). I feel like all of them being slightly different shades throws off the feeling in the room a little.

Nice! I love all the plants. I actually like the couches - they look way comfy - but some pillows would pull them into the room better. Maybe burlap or grainsack? I'd even do funky rectangular ones instead of square. Just my thoughts.

I think the look of a TV mounted on a sturdy-looking, big wooden easel might work for your space.
