reading nook
It's 30 inches wide by 53 inches deep. The low wall at the back is 34 inches high. The door is 24 wide by 71 high.
So - how to do it?
What color paint?
Any neato rugs out there?
Inspire me!
I want to turn this closet under the stairs into a reading nook for the kids.

Lovely Lilac
After nearly six years of Bella Ballerina Pink, Emma's room grew up a bit with Lovely Lilac!
We painted the walls in a satin finish, and put some details in a semi gloss finish of the same color. She got a painted headboard, huge flower, and some details around the room.

changing paint in dining and living rooms?
The paint in the dining and living rooms is Kilz Colors Brown Sugar. It's also on the stair wall and the hall and ceiling upstairs. I need to touch up the paint since there are little messed up areas from when the electric was rewired (fun with old houses!). But, alas, no one around here carries Kilz Colors anymore. Annoying, BUT - this could be a chance to change up the colors. Ideas?
Things to know:
1. I don't want to repaint the stair area unless I really need to. Painting it was zero fun and I'd not like to do that again anytime soon. So, ideally, the new color would go with the old color.
2. The new color also needs to go with the purple in the kitchen.
3. I don't need the living and dining rooms to be the same color, but I kind of like it.
4. All furniture and stuff will stay as is. I'd be willing to recover the seats of the chairs in front of the fireplace.
