There is something very charming about this place. I don't know what it is exactly...I voted Cool.

you can work with the wall color, I think you've got great bones. I find there's too much going on in the living room color/pattern-wise, but the dog, cool club chair, and table lamp are my favorite parts!

i feel like maybe there could have been some better angles here...

the bad: the clock above the chair looks so loney. its a shame the dishwasher had to go there, it looks out of place in an otherwise fab kitchen (jealous of your vintage cabinets!), the too-long curtains may be your preference, but i'd certainly hem them.

the good: the kitchen cabinets, the club chair, hardwood floors, and whats that chest in the first photo?

not a winner, but has potential! :)

it's a nice place- it just doesn't have the wow factor.

The color palette here feels a bit incongruent.

Thanks for your comments. Our place is definitely a work-in-progress. It's slow going right now because 1 med student 1 stay-at-home mom = 0 money to decorate. I agree the dishwasher looks funny in that location but I can't seem to figure out a better configuration.
