Hi there, I'd recommend painting the shutters and garage doors, but how about introducing a fun color like an orange, which would also look cool with the green roof? Also, there are some really big blocks of white going on, including the windows that are over on the left side of the house. If your window shades are closed often, I'd suggest either painting the frames around those windows or using fabric on the inside that pops and allows those vertical frames to show through. That would also help draw the eye away from the garage area. Expand the sidewalk leading to the door so you could have some room for some cool chairs out front. Put a nice flower bed along the expanded sidewalk (perhaps using some cool grasses as perennials). How Do We Modernize Our 60's Split Level? Good Questions | Apartment Therapy Boston |

This is by far THE coolest house tour I've seen yet. I love everything about this house, and I mean EVERYTHING. I found some inspiration in just about every photo, something I could take away and apply to my own little place or that I could recommend to friends/family at some point. And the fact that it is painted bright yellow just sealed the deal for me. Thank you so much for posting!! This is one I'll probably keep coming back to again and again. Bravo!

You may want to look into square foot gardening, might be a good option for a portion of your space. I think my roomie and I are going to try it out on the side of our building next year. We're probably going to hunt down some discarded bookshelves in the alleyway next spring and convert them to the container gardens for it. I wish we had as much space as you guys have - can't wait to see what you do with it. I like honey living's suggestion of a fire pit so you can enjoy it this fall!!

I like bepsf's idea for the solarium. Don't know if I'd recommend a twin bed, why don't you get a double bed and put it on that 9'5" wall - I mean, what if you have somebody over :>) You'd have plenty of space along the 15' wall for your couch and to set up a little living area in that part of the room. You could always put up a track and long curtains around your bed for a little extra coziness. Check Craigslist for some fun finds (that's where I found my coffee table). Have fun living on your own - I had a studio for my first "on my own" place and really enjoyed it! Apartment Therapy DC | Setting Up a First-time Solo Studio? Good Questions |

I've got a round metal coffee table in my place and it works really well. My living room is small so it's in reach of most of the seating. Apartment Therapy Chicago | Living Rooms Without a Coffee Table |

hmm, an additional thought is to turn the walk-in closet into a little crib room for your new baby (it looks big enough??), then put additional storage in your bedroom. Apartment Therapy New York | Stephanie's Living Room : August Group Cure New York Design Meetup |

I've got a road bike for long rides/triathlon training and a hybrid I use for commuting. I've been toying with the idea of a third bike dedicated to winter commuting, but want to do a lot more research before taking that plunge. Apartment Therapy Re-Nest | Survey: How Many Bikes Do You Own? |

I like the idea of a green. A sagey-green like others have suggested, but I also like the idea of a light, spring green. It would probably look very nice with the fireplace and woodwork as is.
