I agree with the brownish eggplant...in the lamp light it appears to have purple undertones to it

Thomasville Furniture has a similar room planner on their site that allows you to add openings, doors and windows. It may be just what you are looking for.

Try this one from Home Decorators:http://www.homedecorators.com/P/Tufted_Custom_Headboard/118/

It's only $479 for a Queen + $70 Shipping and comes in lots of different fabric color/pattern options. If you call them, they'll send you a sample for free.

AT - Please do a full house tour of this space...so much gorgeous creativity!

How about making it a little breakfast bar? Put cupboards underneath and shelves above and use it for your toaster, coffee machine, tea, cereals, etc.

Instead of opting for a rug - try FLOR carpet tiles. For the cost of a rug, you could easily cover all of the laminate flooring. They have great nuetrals to choose from and if you spill something, just replace it with another tile!

As far as curtains go - Target had some decent thermal ones that had a velvet-like texture and came in a range of colors.

Try the new Behr paint with primer. That may help you cover that green with the color you want with less work/time/effort.

I have mixed feelings about this new format.

I understand 20 min a day for 20 days is a lot easier and more doable for most people, which is its appeal. But you can't get any of the big changes accomplished, which is what I think really makes The Cure special and unique.

And I'm kind of disappointed that we won't be seeing any of the dramatic makeovers the came along with the full 8 wk Cure. I know that I can still do it on my own, but its just not the same.

I think the living room has the most "warmth" and that comes mostly from the color scheme. But overall, I feel like the rooms lack personality--there's no art, no personal photographs and no momentos that make a space feel truly unique.

I understand this is an exercise in minimalism, but think it's a tad too far over that edge.

Why don't you get a cream or white slipcover for the sofa and then paint the walls whatever color you want.

A soft buttery yellow always achieves and light and cheery feeling and feels fresh. Plus you can pair it with a lot of colors - a soft dove gray for a more modern feel or a nice green or blue in the same tonal range as the yellow. Or keep it clean with crisp black and white.
