Hi, your home looks pretty good, you have done a lot on the interiors. Coming back to the question, yes, you can add a wallpaper behind the television, go for a textured wallpaper as it will create a compliment to your television. As you have decorated with wooden elements, you can go with a bookshelf on the wall. And, there is one more thing which will be a simple addition but will look perfect and that is an antique wall clock. An antique wall clock will make your wall look great without any fuss.

Yes, I've heard "chalk" paint is easy to use. Would this need a top coat to protect Brandi? Alternatively, you could start by coating the table top with a limewash varnish. You can build up the coats to achieve the look you like. What is the colour of the wood? Chairs will be more fiddly to paint, so perhaps start with just the table. There's also trend of "paint-dipped" legs you could do for table or chairs, if you like this look. A way to bring in colour without doing a whole piece. If you'd like to give the whole chairs a face lift, here's some inspiration. The table in this image appears to have limewash (aside from the top) and paired with pastel chairs. You could do just table top and leave legs as is. Then do chairs in various colours...

I didn't notice the leather @Neryl Hollingsworth! It's a chair-table hybrid it seems. My friend took this at a gallery some where, and we've been trying to track the piece down ever since!

In my early twenties I designed kitchens for my mother and two aunts (Uncle built them and they worked), but when it came to designing my own - had to fit a constrained space and no possibility of extension - I chewed my lips for ages - like Nicole, I drew and measured ad infinitum, and used graph book walls, views etc. I did one extra thing - which I think worked - I listed all that I wanted to store, and tried to analyse how I liked working in the kitchen. Some things I had to settle for because of space (such as a smaller dishwasher) but most of it has worked. We have a corner pantry, which I (and the cat, husband a bit larger) can walk into, but have not put small appliances in there - they sit in a large drawer beneath the main working bench, which also works well. It all looks good to me Nicole and thinking carefully about needs and how things work in advance usually results in something you'll be happy with. Good luck!
