I checked it out and I really like the collection.

You have to find some pictures that inspire you with leather and red. I completely disagree, you do not need to match the intensity of the red. It's exactly the lightness, for example, of a robins egg blue that will make the red smashing! Play with things, buy and try, you can always return. Mood boards will help you too and they are so fun to make!

Have fun!

I have my dining room chair upstairs in my new office now, which I seriously miss downstairs....haha. The chair is too low for my desk too. I'm out of money and I seriously need an office chair now. I'm sitting there all day. Thanks for the idea. Now I know what I'll be seeking this weekend.........

I feel "haunted" by these pink sofas. An hour later I'm still thinking about them. Insane for pic #3. My first thoughts also began with the easy dirt factor. Then I too thought of a perpetual single girl, not a bad thing for sure. Such great and thoughtful idea comments. I find the light pink a neutral somehow.

Just Google mid century modern house facades and you will begin to visualize your house. I too love the roof line and believe that the issue lies with the window. When you see pictures you will see examples of how windows can be different shapes but fill up the space more. NO shutters for sure or other do-dads. Think clean lines. I would also paint the brick. I agree that the colors should be darker and a more modern vibe with the door color as your focus. I visualize an amazing toffee or carmel with black accents. Or dark slate colors. Just be sure that the Front door is the bold focus color. Goodness paint the garage door, I soooo hate when people leave it white and sticks out like a sore thumb. Remember what you want the focus to be, which for me should be the entrance.

Good luck! Share the after pics!

I visualize a patterned or striped curtain as well. My favorite cheap sites, IKEA and Target. Then I always like West Elm, CB2, Pottery Barn and Crate and Barrel. I saw plenty that would work according to your taste.

Good luck.
