Pictures with Santa: A Worthwhile Tradition?

Everything looks flat and rectangular in the photo, as if you need way more cuddly, luxurious, textured fabrics and way more shapes to everything. Velvet, fur, satin, with details and embellishments would work I think. I like all of LeslieinAZ's comments as well.

Pale coral, leave the trims the same color you have, put up some climbing plants (they will thrive) and hang some patterned curtains~ maybe couch-gray, your wall color now, and bits of other colors. I know you've got a rainy season coming, so some sunny bits of color inside would be satisfying.

Have always felt most fortunate to have grown up in a neighborhood full of relatives who built their own houses (and did the plumbing and electrical work), gardened, and encouraged the kids to get involved. My grandmother let us spend hours poring through her fabric chest full of scraps and buttons, and we had a great- gramp who wove rugs and blankets. We learned all sorts of skills, and I firmly believe we learned to think creatively because of the do-it-yourselfers in the family.

Birch bark left on? No. Otherwise, a branch for a rail is very pretty. I've seen them used as curtain rods, towel bars, and lamp bases as well.

Think fabric as well as paint, as a couple of others have mentioned. My own preference would be to paint the walls pale blue, keep the cabinets white, and add fabric (cushions and window treatment) that introduced bits of more colors to the red, white, and blue scheme.

For the student: Build a loft bed or enclosed swedish bed along the back wall next to the kitchen. Rig up a slanted wall off the doorway of the kitchen for a bit of extra privacy. You could make a shelving unit wall, for instance.
Holy cow, what a crazy layout. It could be fun to fix up!

I am so GLAD to see that so many have posted about liking white appliances ~ and admitting they are not on the stainless steel bandwagon. I have never liked the cold look of stainless, and I do not believe that hardwood floors and granite countertops are the only way to go- how boring.
