I think beige and white go well together. Either white subway tile or headboard would be nice. It might feel bigger if you painted the walls the same colour as the tile. You can loop in the beige with natural wood accessories. They alway shook nice in a bathroom, driftwoods, unfinished wood frames etc.

I also used a rock n play. So easy to tuck beside a bed and rock your baby to sleep. Way easier to pack away than a pack and play too. No way near as adorable as all of the options posted, but when it comes to babies and sleep, utility wins hands down.

With a two year old and no space for a play room, the family room is stuffed with hiding places. Ottoman and tv unit drawers are filled with toys. The magazine rack has a handful of children's books. That way she can play with us in the evening and when she's off to bed it take less than two minutes to tuck everything away.

Do a backsplash for sure. Use wallpaper or contact paper to keep cost down. You could also paint a striped backsplash with kitchen paint too. I also like the idea of removing some of the cabinet doors. The set above the microwave would help lighten the kitchen up. I did that in my kitchen, and wall papered inside. It was pretty easy, since no one sees the mistakes behind your dished :)

Round table and painted trim are great. I like that the table is a bit unexpected.

I am glad the plant is gone. Plants in a dining room personally weird me out. I'm sure it found a happy home. As for the styling, I think the room looks great. No one claimed it was supposed to be modern 2012, just into the 2000s. Anyway it's about personal style and it looks amazing in comparison to the before. Bravo.

I like the idea of keeping your bench more neutral. Since graphics date quickly, I think a stripe would be nice. I don't think it needs green in it, that might make it to literal. Maybe something tone on tone. You could probably get a new oval table second hand and just attach the table top if removing the stand it too tricky. I think if you could have lots of fun accessorizing those shelves.

I agree that maybe you should paint out the bench and all the window in the same green. But that's just a detail. Can't wait to see what you pick!

I love the idea of butting a table up against the wall for everyday. We do the same at our house, functional and casual. Beauts!

A great way to do cheap impactful art is going to your art supply store (in Canada we have deserres) buying some craft paper, each of these retailed for less than $5. You can get frames from second hand stores or ikea.
