staples has nice ones that are pretty good quality

First step would be to clear out EVERYTHING you dont need, just throw it out or give it away- you will feel great! give the room a good cleaning and try to organize as much as you can. Paint the walls a fresh color and sand down and repaint the bunk bed. I dont know where to get slipcovers but...

You can put in a recliner. It's a comfortable place to feed and rock the baby and can also be used for sleeping. It's usually an even better option than a daybed.

Bright colors and good lighting can really open a small space.

Yes I agree. A persons decor should be an expression of themselves not a TV show. But, TV and magazines, etc. are a good source of inspiration at times.

By as many great accessorizes as you can. Stores like TJ Maxx, Home Goods, Bed Bath & Beyond or if you want to go higher end a website like Quality Bath...They all have great stuff that can really brighten up your bathroom and give it a totally different appearance.

sounds awesome...very elegant!

Whatever color you decide to do test it out first...basement lighting is always tricky and paint can look really different on a wall then the sample. Especially if you decide to go gray. I love gray's but most of them are either to purpley, or blue or even green...so test it out.

you should check your paint out. It could cause mold unless you have excellent ventilation.

I recliner is a good place to rock the baby & to use a an extra sleeping space. The pattern sounds busy so I would probably go with cream walls.

great tips...I just painted my laundry room a bright pink & it opens it up so much!

they are attached to the wall. A little more difficult to install then standard but really a very sharp look.

what kind of design style generally attracts you?

Staining keeps it looking more "rustic" with the grain showing. it really depends on your taste. Personally I love painted woods cabinets... but again its all taste. Good lucj! It looks like you have a beautiful kitchen to work with.

I did cool grays in my home just now with stark white molding..its classy, contemporary & looks awesome!!! but it sounds like your space would do well with blues. Check out Delphinium from valspar...with white moldings it can look awesome!!
