House Ideas

For the formal living room I am not sure about the color scheme but am starting to figure out the furniture pieces.

White Ikea armoire

Brown table and chairs from college.  Rectangle seats four.
Big chalk board on the wall with black or brown frame.

I will use the bottom of the armoire as toy storage for the kids.  Each kid gets half the bottom of the armoire and can keep any downstairs toys in there.  That way we have a quick and easy way to clean up toys downstairs.  In the top of the armorie I am considering making a bar for our alcohol and cups.  It would be nice if guests can make their drinks outside of the kitchen so the kitchen is free for cooking and serving.

Still need to figure out what I am going to do with the chandlier.  I am thinking single shade, white, with dark brown trim.  Sleek, simple, easy to change out.

Color scheme will either be white and green (similar to the armoire in the picture above).  Maybe turquoise and dark brown?  Turquoise and white?  I am not sure but I do want a pop of color in this room Either through the table or armoire.  I like the idea of the table being a chalkboard table so I can leave the kids messages on it.  That has potential to be fun.  I can also paint the table white and bring in a colorful rug on the floor.  Not sure about the colors but at least I know the furniture.
