I found a picture that I love of a beach scene with the ocean, It has beach sand, the ocean and the brownish yellow plants that grow around oceans. I would like to decorate the whole room around that picture. I need help!! My ceiling is white (tiles). I have a non working fireplace but I can dress it up to look like it works. I thought I could put the picture over it.
On the other side of the room there are 2 windows next to each other. It is the first room a person walks into when entering the apt. I thought about windowseats along the wall with the windows but I just don't. Also what kind of furniture would be appropriate. Right now it's empty. The picture has pink, several shades of blue, green,yellow I guess mostly pastel colors with some strokes of brown and black. The next room is the kitchen and those colors are white and green (ivy decorations). Any helpful ideas will be appreciated. I should mention money ($$) IS an object, but I can work w/ your ideas. Thanks!

It sounds like you are quite the creative person! You mentioned money was somewhat of an issue and I came upon an article that fits perfectly with your scenario. This article mentions how in cottage style homes the more worn and "homey" the better. So I would recomend going to antique shops and neighborhood garage sales and just look for the things that say YOU. Make sure you add a lot of white into the room because white is a "classic" cottage color. Fabrics and worn peices work very well also. I would also bring in some blue hues and some of those softer shades of green. Have Fun!
