I'm a little worried about the couches, but my kids are 16 & 19 so hopefully they won't get too much spilled on them.

Our kids are younger and there are two issues, mainly: 1) dirty feet in the summer and 2) food. If you can manage those, they should be fine. (Good luck! )

Hmmm...lol! Both of those things are still an issue, especially at the beach and with one DS who LOVES pizza! Ha!

For many (now dumb!) reasons I painted the high ceilings in my entry and great room the same light tan color as the walls. While it made painting easier, I don't really like how it turned out. However I will have to make due with it for a few more years according to my husband.......

I'm a huge fan of neutral colors on the walls and basic furniture and color in the accessories.

That's good to know. Did you have crown molding to make some separation between the wall and ceiling? I was worried about this in our great room/kitchen. It has a vaulted ceiling, so no crown. I'm afraid it would close in the room.

any tips on making storage look less ugly? I also need to pick colors for my storage boxes, and a accent color to paint the chair rail. I managed to pick wall colors but cant get past that. I also need to figure out what color curtains to buy. I know they need to be blackout curtains since Im working nights. The room is only 10.5 by 11.5.

No, I didn't do crown molding, but I did do really great baseboards with my wood floors. That looks fabulous. Crown molding might actually make me like it better, but I'm out of money for now. I wonder how it would look, it's a large space and the ceiling is slated. Hum good question, something to think about.
