All the white helps make small spaces seem bigger. I also love that mustard colored door - love those small but intense bursts of color. You asked for suggestions for under the stairs. I've found a gem of a site for home remodeling. There is an excellent video tutorial series for built-ins. If you don't find good ideas there, there is a question box. The guy has personally answered my questions quite promptly. Anyway, I found his ideas helpful & realistic. The website is here and you'll see the link to the built-in section at the top of the page. http://fineremodel.com I LOVE the white paneling. All the white helps make small spaces seem bigger.

I can't wait to see it in person. And I was glad to see that the trunk I painted almost ten years ago passed the renovation test. Congratulations Alison!

Thus, the house absolutely compliments all of these things so perfectly, and vice-versa. I see her personality all over every inch of it.
