Oh, that's easy - put a moss green (not mint - mint is cool toned. You need a warm toned, yellow-based green) with it. You can also do a shade of yellow. Just be sure to use the right tone of yellow, too. Try using those little paint color sample cards to match the color up correctly. Then use the little cards to pick out anything else you want to buy or make for the bathroom.

Since the bathroom is small, use yellow for the larger items, and a yellow-based green for the accessories, and trim on any larger yellow items.

Wood texture and color would also be a nice addition. The bathroom will end up having a nice forest/rainforest feel to it.

Add a touch of gold or brass metallic detail, and you're set.

Your taste is impeccable, and your dog is beautiful...flat out.

..I'd like to know where those nice shades shown in the picture are sold.....

Drapes are really nice. Yellow is very uplifting. Nice to see color like that.

Yeah - the birds look better because the black and grey go with the blue: the black is a neutral, and the grey is cool toned, like the blue is.

I always stress to people who redecorate a whole room or a whole domicile to go and get a pad of paper and a 64 or 128 count magic marker set from Walmart or Meijers or wherever, and do a whole room plan up. Pick out all your colors and furniture and whatnot and design your style beforehand, refine it on paper. Once you get it where you want on paper, THEN apply it. Its much easier to make corrections on paper, than after you've bought the wrong furniture or painted with the wrong paint, etc.

the before picture looked better than the after picture. Not to knock the work put into the desk, but the overall impression was cleaner and more streamlined in the before shot.

1. If the main room is small, I would contrast the color, but keep both choices of color on the light side, to maximize the conception of size.

2. If it were my place, I'd buy a great floor lamp, by a great reading chair, and get myself a nice side or occasional table, and create myself a reading nook. You could also have a semi-circular or circular bench or oversized ottoman placed in that location, if you wanted a less conventional alternative to the "reading nook" suggestion.

Also, if you're into drama, you could go for one giant piece of sculpture placed in the turret, with nothing else.....

Even a small desk would be nice - the view would be great.

You should've gotten first place for your region. Vintage sofa's are the best!

I just picked up a '60s vintage couch in a similar style for pennies on the dollar - vintage couches are the best!!!

OK - this is what I call "super-sweet, post-millenium, urban funkeclectic!" This is a place!!

You know, the best looking living spaces are the ones that you NEVER get tired of looking at...where you eyes can just flow back and forth over the room, as if they were your hands, touching the objects.....this is what its all about!
