I left a super long comment and stupid blogger deleted it. :(<br /><br />Trying again...<br /><br />Love the new layout, love the color arranged books under the TV, love your wood floors.<br /><br />My suggestions:<br /><br />- Leave the frames white. They are more versatile that way and you can always add color with the prints.<br /><br />- Dye the curtains! And maybe be on the lookout for curtains on sale to switch out if you don't like the yellow in winter.<br /><br />- Get a big basket for the blankets. I bet you could find a great one at a garage sale!<br /><br />- Add pillows. I love the ones you've made so far...if you have more fabric, add some to the couch in front of the window.<br /><br />- Add hooks to the blank wall by the hutch. Since it's an entry, it's the perfect place for people to hang their coats and bags. Plus you can do something really charming like this [ http://pinterest.com/pin/10654874/ ] for cheap. A piece of wood, white spray paint, and knobs from Hobby Lobby when they are half off. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170116880352300881.post-7065811731273486242011-04-28T15:25:12.644-07:002011-04-28T15:25:12.644-07:00Hi - Allison here

Like Emily I really like the frames in white but if you wanted to add something with color - maybe switch out one of the pics with a piece of colorful scrapbook paper - that way you could get the dose of color and it wouldn't be permanent. <br /><br />I'd also consider putting scrapbook paper or wall paper on the inside of your hutch. You can just cut out poster board to fit, attach the scrapbook/wallpaper to the poster board and pop it into place - also a non-permanent solution.<br /><br />Finally, I was thinking exactly like Emily and would suggest adding a band of ribbon to your white curtains with some heat bond tape. I'm not a big yellow fan, but I love coral ... one of the other colors in the awesome pillows that you made!Lucky Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09835894268220713466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170116880352300881.post-82694798614508593232011-04-28T08:32:49.219-07:002011-04-28T08:32:49.219-07:00@ Allison and Jared- We actually love our "hi...@ Allison and Jared- We actually love our "hideous" sofas.<br /><br />And even if we didn't, we simply don't have the budget to replace two major pieces of furniture that are still totally functional and comfortable.Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02357381494401496279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170116880352300881.post-71918774448432132532011-04-28T08:14:00.554-07:002011-04-28T08:14:00.554-07:00ADORE your collage wall.

I like your current layout, a lot. <br /><br />I think a big deep basket would be perfect for the blankets and look decorative. Maybe a bright yellow frame on a side table on that window side of the room - and you could always use heat and bond to add yellow grosgrain to the white curtains for a touch of whimsy.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04793480432068543767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170116880352300881.post-6733405256312868892011-04-28T07:28:42.617-07:002011-04-28T07:28:42.617-07:00Gosh, I gotta say, I LOVE your wall gallery!
