Pics of the House

Its time for me to show you pics of the house. Some of my favorite things about the house are the things that make it the most over whelming to decorate and pick wall colors for. So I am welcoming ideas for wall color or anything else that comes to mind when you see these pics.

Lets start with the Living Room!

One wall has these huge windows. they let in a LOT of natural light....and don't have any curtains on them (yet). Another thing you can tell by this pic is the massive vaulted ceilings. I was excited about my vaulted (10 or 12 ft) ceilings down in Springfield, but these ceilings Chris says are probably 15 feet high. WOW!!!





The next wall in the Living Room is the wall with he Fire Place. Chris hates the Fire Place but I love that there is one in the house. However, a few people who have been in the house a couple times didn't even know the place had a Fire Place! So, Id like to make it a little bit more of a focal point! I suggested painting the wood white (with the idea that the walls would have a color on them) and Chris doesn't like the idea of painting over the "real wood" which I don't get. Anyway, here is the Fire Place Wall.





Next is the wall with the TV on it. We like that the TV and all the media is Black! We need a wall color that will go with that.





Ok, so another thing I like about the house is the fact that you can see the Dinning Room from the Living Room and vice versa! But, that also makes me nervous. Whatever we paint the Living Room we might need to paint the Dinning Room the same thing....or at least something that matches VERY well. Just something else to consider!!!





Another thing you can see from the Living Room is the Entry Way. Not sure if this should be the same color as the Living Room or not. I obviously don't want to many different colors in this area of the house but I worry if everything is the same it will be a little.....either boring or to bold!





Here is another look at the Entry Way from the Dinning Room. So, as you can see...the wall goes right up against the Living Room wall that has all the windows.





Lets move on from the Living Room and show the Dinning Room and Kitchen!

Here is the Dinning Room. You can see the ceiling has a nice look to it....





There is a big sliding glass door on one wall.





And here is the Kitchen!!!

I don't like the color of the Cabinets.....I would be ok with painting them too......not sure how Chris feels about that.





And lastly, you can see that the Hall Way is right off the Dinning Room...










Its a BIG house which is what makes me nervous to paint. We need something that keeps the house looking big and airy but I really want there to be a visual change!

I welcome suggestions!!!
