Love it!!! Even the kitty looks happy!

Loove how you have combined so many different elements so successfully. I admire this because I aspire (struggle) to do the same. I looks comfortable and hip without being cold.

Black all the way... but u can make your own custom color as has been pointed out. Green would clash with the baskets above, I think. Black would look awsome. I ditto the magnetic idea as well.

Im not a big fan of the chairs personally, but like the couch and understand why you are attached.

The first thing I would do is get a piece of coordinating artwork, or a mirror and hang it over the sofa.

Also the rug or pillows need to be changed... probably easier to change the colors on the pillows to match the rug.

The blinds are awful, but if changing them isnt an option, maybe hang curtains over them.

How fun and happy!

Oooh the idea of repainting that bar!! Oh well its only paint. I gold-er yellow might be good but red and yellow so close reminds me of McDonalds. The reason I dont like the color I have now is because it is too gold/green... reminds me of my parents 1970's carpet or something.

I keep trying to remind myself that this IS my first attempt at painting an interior space and I went nutty with the overwhelming selection of colors available...

Thanks for the continued input... I spend some time at the Ben Moore store and I thingk I am going to go with a green fray, either horse gray or stonington gray, or possibly even Behr river rock which is a very blue gray. I think the most important thing I learned here is about color value... I did not like the color I had on the wall but it was the right value. I may even end up going a shade darker than stonington/horse gray, which surprises me because I was afraid of a dark gray... but the color value thing makes lots of sense now. HOwever, I do get a ton of late afternoon light in that room as well as northern exposure from the kitchen and I think the yellow, gray/green and red will be fabulous. :)

Hey, Robin Here
Thanks for all the input... Looks like gray green is winning. I like blue too but my dear BF is anti-blue. Believe it or not, the bar is not as much of a black hole as it looks in the pic... I get quite a bit of light in this room. I am going to try some of the Sherwin Williams greens as suggested and will provide updates! Thanks!!!
