Smallest Space Lived in Happily

Taking a good look it wouldn’t be steady without all of the legs due to the small piece above the ball. Catherine, I am taking the couch, my chair and 2 small tables for living room. Leaving him the big end tables and coffee table. I bought a small coffee table. I am taking the bed and desk for my office. In the dining room my table and chairs, antique dresser and a small cabinet. In my bedroom just my nightstand and long dresser with mirror. All the bedroom furniture is mine but don’t need it. We have 2 patio tables so taking the smaller one which still seats 6 people.

we have a king sleep number bed that I love. I am buying a queen that will elevate when I want. It will be good for when I am sick and can’t lay flat. That’s the last bed I will need. Ours is 17 years old and as long as you can replace the pump they last forever.

I would totally use it in the living room and put the TV on top. (We have our TV on top of our old stereo stand and our necks actually like it!).

I have a really bad painful neck from 8 car accidents. I need to figure out if it will work for the tv.

So I measured and it’s only 7 inches taller. So I decided you guys are right and I am going to try it and if my neck hurts then will use my tv stand. For the past 16 years my walls have been cream with green accent walls in every room but my bedroom which had a maroon accent wall behind my bed. I am now thinking cream with a grey accent wall should go nicely with the kitchen and my couch is grey, cream and beige. For my bedroom I bought pink sheets and a gray comforter. I am thinking I will paint a light pink on the wall behind my bed. Comments or suggestions welcome!

That shade of green in your current house is very close to the color in my house throughout. And then, my favorite decorator, Laurel Berg has this yellowy-green in her house as does one of her favorite decorators. I am now calling it senior lady green, haha. But I love it and I will have a version of it in my Hermann house throughout. With cream trim! Instead of white trim as ?I have here in the city.

But none of this has given you any useful info. I am terrible with colors, it takes me months to decide.I can’t help.

It’s great that you will give your sideboard a try as tv stand. It is a nice piece of furniture and it will fit nicely there.

Well, gray everything is very popular right now.

I actually LOVE gray and would have chosen that as main color if it wasn’t already so over used IMHO. My condo currently IS grey.

Gray is a flexible and handsome neutral. Make sure the undertone is warm rather than cool if you are going with cream (a warm) main color.

If I were decorating now, I would consider wallpapering a wall or two. You could go with a small repeating pattern or go bold with large motifs.

IL, I wasn’t a senior when I chose that green 16 years ago:)). Thanks for the tip about the grey needing to be warm. Because the condo is small I don’t want any dark colors. I also bought a red toaster and electric can opener because of the white and black kitchen but I don’t want to paint red anywhere. My pictures and niknaks have pink and green in them.

Jane, in the past I have used wallpaper for a accent wall but you need someone very good at hanging it for it to look good. I am just going to use paint.

I will never use wallpaper again. When it is glued on wallboard, it is almost impossible to remove without gouging the wall. I suspect that the paint that that home builder used was cr*p not sealing the wallboard. The wallpaper was quite costly with its own glue so now I trust no wallpaper or provider unless I expect to have the same for the rest of my life.

They now make these big peel off wallpaper murals that interest me, but I’ve decided against using one.

Traditional wallpaper scares me for the reasons razz mentions.

As far as warm undertones versus cool undertones: I read an article about this a couple years ago and ever since, I’ve been thinking about that. The author of this article cautions you to keep your undertones consistent in your house. There is less clashing in this approach.

My condo will be cool colors and I want the white trim to be cool undertone. My Hermann house will be warm colors and I want the trim to be cream which is obviously a warm color.
After I read that article, my own kitchen then started bugging me because The floor tile, a lovely dusty gray, is cool, I guess. The wall color chosen 25 years later is a warm green color I think those are clashing undertones although somebody with acute color analysis skills could convince me that the gray has warm undertones rather than cool undertones.

But likely the stuff in my kitchen clashes. I do know there are too many surfaces.
