Beatiful and interesting home. Does Lily Rachles sell her windmill silkscreen print? I love it!

I love the overall layout. It can be difficult to make separate areas for an entry, living room and dining room in houses with such a small and open layout. Great job in making the space feel cozy but not too crowded!

I also would love to know where the couch came from!

Love this! You mention the 80's construction but there is no hint of this from the pictures, which is a huge accomplishment!

Which Ikea couch is in your living room?

I love the curains/shades. Where did you find them? I'm looking for shades like these and want to avoid the cost of going the custom route.

Wow, thank you for all of your helpful comments! I love the examples Clio and thecabin!

After reading everyone's advice (which is pretty evenly split between white and gray) I'm leaning toward using a pale grey. And I'm definitely going with a 1/8" line between the tiles (joint?) - thanks for the tips on that one. Thanks for steering me away from black; I think I would have lived to regret it!

I will definitely post photos after it is done so stay tuned!

Merci beaucoup!
Emily

I love the little eating area. The lampshade makes it really special. Can I ask, what color grout did you use on your subway tile? Thanks for the recipe and inspiration!

I vote for something bright and graphic, since the rest of the room is neutral. I'm thinking something fun and comfy like the Anthropologie Astrid Chair. Of course you could find something similar for MUCH less money. I think Target has some fun upholstered chairs.

By the way, I love your couch! I've been looking for something this size and shape. Where did you buy it?

I second the request for where you purchased the retro yellow trash can in the kitchen. What a beautiful, well thought out, and inspiring home!

Can I ask you where you purchased the white frame for your "keep calm" print? I can't find one that fits! Thanks! It is one of my projects to hang it in the kitchen.

What type of flooring is that? Was it easy to install? I like how big the tiles are.

Wow, thank you all so much for your suggestions! I am loving the idea of eggplant or some shade of purple/plum! These shades didn't even cross my mind as a possibility but now I can really see how it would work with the other colors. Now eggplant is competing with my original idea for red although I'm leaning toward eggplant. What about a color for the cement stairs? Eggplant or something else?

Oh, the house is in Portland, Oregon and the adorable dog is Tasha. :)
