add curtains--simple ones that can hang from clip rings. if you can sew, fabric.com is the best place to get dupioni silk, which is a casual silk, in my opinion. all you'd have to do is hem the top and bottom and buy clip rings at the hardware store. a nice taupe silk might be a compromise for your boyfriend's neutral preference.

maybe some brightly-colored chair pads, or a bright table runner in chartreuse?

lose the lamps, get a cool fixture from ikea.

i like a rug under dining areas as it protects the wood underneath from scratches. good luck!

just lovely. who wouldn't want to live there? gives me inspiration for my own craftsman style home.

I love your couch Ashley! Where is it from? Great tweed blue color. I never had my own place....went straight from roommates to marriage. What must it be like? Congrats!
