existing laminate counter top? Please advise or advise where I can find out about it on line. Tx :)

tiles up your wall and/or use both small and large tiles on the floor as well as the wall as though you are wainscoating it. Also you could use a white tile if the bathroom is not that big to make it brighter and appear larger. A darker color would close it in. You could also use a lighter tile on the floor and then stencil on a design for either a border or in the shape of a rug to add a little color. I had a small bathroom once wherein the tile was placed in a diamond pattern of black and white and it looked pretty good. Depending on floor size and what color the wall is, white goes with everything and if you ever have to sell your house, you may not have to redo the floor for the sale! :)

wide above your couch. and center it above your couch. But like what is said above if it is family photo's it would make it awkward for people to look at them because they would have to lean on your couch to do so to look up to see them up close, and the prupose of putting somethng up is so that a person can see it visually without bending their height. In most art galleries and museums, a lot of the paintings are at eye level, without having to bend over or sit on something to see it. You don't want to make it awkward for someone to look at it. What about actually painting a mural on the wall and then taking a nice frame and placing the frame around the mural? Also you don't want to stretch a cord to your lamp by the window. You don't need two lamps there. I would take the table right out of the room and use the tall lamp at the end of the couch not the short little one you have in the photo. Kind of looks tacky and it isn't balanced right with the size of the couch either.
