How does the hidden closet work? Is there a door perpendicular to the fireplace or something else? I LOVE this space!

I would go all white but keep those handles - at least in the photo they are awesome! You could always do some sort of design or stencil on the top to add interest. Good luck and great find!

I would think about smaller chairs (or a bigger table) so that instead of having someone sit on that end you could have two chairs on each of the long sides of the table. It wouldn't change the look of the dining room much but it would keep someone from potentially falling into your living room. With the arrangement I suggested you could also bank the table against the wall that is 43" if you want even more space to be safe (and that may make more sense with your light...I can't tell from the pictures where it falls in the room). Good luck!

If you reconfigure your hallway slightly it may make sense to divide off the smallest amount of space possible from bedroom 2 (toward the top of the drawing). They you would still have access to all three bedrooms from the hallway, not lose any living space, and have a proper private place. I think partitioning the living room successfully would be very tough. Good luck!

You could start looking for freestanding wardrobes

I agree completely about getting the bed out from under the window and moving the nightstand to the other side - I think that will make a huge difference. I would put the full length mirror on the back of the door if you want it for function. I would change the location (maybe mount it horizontally) if you have it because you like the frame. The colorful hooks outside of the closet should be removed. It might be nice to add a curtain rod and some sheers in addition to any new shade. If you want to display the quilt at the bottom of your bed then I would add another blanket or duvet underneath - it looks like that's just a sheet set. I think you could pick a really fun color for the wall at the head of the bed and it would work. Your quilt has similar colors to my bedroom and I painted mine with a navy color - it really grounds things and makes them feel less childish. Good luck!

Is the heater something that can be moved or is it some sort of wood stove? If it can't be moved then I would turn your table at a 90 degree angle to allow more space for your living room. I would try to add two additional chairs so that you don't have to share a small couch and when guests come over they will have more seating options. To do this I would square off the loveseat with the TV then add one to either side floating in the room. Good luck!

Agree with grapevine - I'm not sure you have any other options! You can flank the fireplace with single chairs or maybe do an armoire in the opposite corner of the fireplace to keep electronics hidden. What a gorgeous home! Congrats!

I vote for the light aqua. I have a table next to my bed painted almost the same color and love it!

If I were you I wouldn't love the pink either! If you have the means to gut it then I would say go ahead. If you don't but anticipate being about to in a year or so then live with it. If you think this is a longer term project (3-10 years) then I would get several quotes for reglazing. You could also gut the walls and replace it with drywall for now with the intention of replacing the room full of tile later. One last suggestion (and I actually did this in my 1930's bathroom) is to cover the wall tile with wainscoting. This required an insert in the tub and then a bit of custom molding on the top to cover the depth of the the tile and wainscoting - but it wasn't too expensive and made a world of difference with the appearance. Good luck!
