A chanhe w

Hi!  Happy friday...  Hopefully everyone has found something great about today.  I mean I havent because I'm sick.. haha.. Always the sick one lately, right? I have been seriously debating if I should just force myself to take grace out for a walk.  I have been doin so good with it, since the beginning of may.  But yesterday, I felt too awful, and today, I feel the same, but poor Gracie girl, shes stuck in here... We'll see.

This weekend I'm actually "white washing" some of my walls.  When we first built our basement suite we did the majority of the reno's in under a month, that month being the shortest of the year (I know, we're crazy stupid).  So therefore, I made some calls that were not thought through.  We painted the entire suite, like a dark cream, or a light tan, which is a fantastic neutral, and I got lots of compliments on it.  However, the color doesn't suite me, and our little space, well, as far as I'm concerned anyhow.  Geoff could care less.  He always just lets me decide.  He says it matters WAY MORE to me, than him, anyhow.  And thats true enough.

Anyways, back on track, I want to eventually get this whole place white!  I know there a million reasons not to go white, but I have one really good reason to go white:  I'll like it.  And heres my problem.  Of all the hurried decisons we had to make while builing and painting our suite this one was the worst:

My biggest mistake, well, design mistake, i suppose

Painting half a wall one color and the other half another.  I KNOW I KNOW.  But I wanted yellow in my kitchen and didnt know how to do it to a divided space.  Looking BACK, I know exactly what I would of done, But we dont always have the luxury or knowing the future of our mistakes, do we?  Well, I sure dont!
 Ok, SO thats tomorrow, I have requested Ginny's help so thats tomorrow's project.

I was hoping for your help too.  Nope, I dont need more painters, although, your welcome to help, but what I need is some advice.  I'm not always a good person for knowing what would look perfect, where.  Once and a little while, I can.  But my living room always stumps me.  Its an slightly odd layout and a basement suite.  So windows arent always placed where they look best.  SO, do you have any ideas what I can do or put on these walls to make it look not so broken up(bearing in mind, the color "divide" will be gone.

I was thinking the curtains maybe need to go, those pictures should be moved, but then I dont know how to make the couch lined  up with things on the wall.. and yes, I need things lined up... well at least I think I do.., I'll give you a few pics of my living room and maybe you can help me... or even SAVE ME.  Keep in mind too, I like all things old scuffed and white(mostly).  If you want to email me with help, I'd love it.  I want to head out to see what I can find to maybe help in here...

This is where you'd walk in to the living room area

the couch has to be placed here to see tv ok-ish, leaving the wall broke up weird

no idea if I should be putting something between the tv and comp..

should the curatins go? 

I think I need to put those pictures else where.. and shold I put something up in between?  the color divide is going..

more of the awkward layout

Wait till you see the rest of the things I wanna do around here.. but thats for another weekend..
