I have a whole album if anyone wants to look through it all, however I'm focused on the entryway, downstairs nameless room, kitchen and dining room, living room, upstairs hallway, and bedrooms. Bonus: laundry room (I love my laundry time, so that one will take awhile to plan out) We will change all the current light fixtures, not our style. High ceilings throughout. This home is in the northern Italian countryside, and we both prefer a classic style, leaning towards Mediterranean but more down to earth (not Tuscan).

The house faces west with heavy shade from trees in the front yard. When all windows are closed, the house feels dim and spooky.

Entryway: feels like two different houses and the terracotta floor looks starkly different when the other rooms are open. I thought of a pale taupe color or a crisp white, I want to avoid all yellowness.

That in-between downstairs area with the table leads to a former pantry, the garage, and the laundry room. We have no idea what to do with it, I was thinking maybe an office space, gym, or hobby room. White for now?

For the kitchen and dining room, we are settled on a light azure-agave.

The living room is longer than it is wide, the library will take up half of the wall on the right side. Light sage green walls and white ceiling. Wallpaper on the library wall? Crown molding with uplighting will be installed if the library doesn't touch the ceiling. We have a teal angular sofa on order and a massive library.

The upstairs hallway has 0 natural light unless the balcony window is left open. I know how important various types of lighting are. I lived in a dim house that ruined my eyesight and made me very grumpy. The wallpaper trim and the curtain rod will be removed.

Master bedroom has a hideous Venetian style monstrous wardrobe. Husband does not want to paint it. We were forced to buy it from the owners for 1,000 more than it was worth. We want wallpaper on the wall opposite, where our bed will be. How can we swap the focal point from that eyesore?

Guest bedroom is...sad. It feels so heavy and lifeless when you walk in. I have no ideas for it. Mattress and frame were left from the previous owners.

Extra bedroom has no purpose, paint 'er white for now?

Our painter recommended painting the same color in these areas. Husband and I are thinking of blues and greens, nothing dark but not nursery-style pastels.

They'll be transferred outside this weekend into our flock, both "Araucana" have beards, something our current 2 mature Araucana do not have. One chick also has a tail.
