The table and sideboard are the same color as the trim, and then with the white walls (although we finally got one wall painted) it's just so blah. And like most other rooms in the house, we have yet to hang curtains (not that we're going to hang them in every room, but we have yet to hang any). Looking in from the kitchen. Need curtains!
