I have the same problem having moved into an in-law suite made from a double garage..one bedroom a bathroom and a 12x 20 room used for both kitchen and living room. It was supposed to be finished, but when I moved in, the kitchen / living area was just cement floors and no cabinets. So here I am a year later still no floor covering but I do have open cabinets( no doors) ha ha, At least that keeps me on my toes keeping things tidy. Such a combined room has its troubles so I painted every thing flat white. The kitchen counter has a sink in the middle & is dark green so I painted the inside of the cabinet dark green and the outside white. Dishes I hardly ever use are on top ,pots and pans under the sink and in the stove drawer, I bought one of those Wal-Mart pantry's and keep food in it. cost under 200.00 for that. I got rid of my large couch and chair and bought a micro fiber and leather sectional couch in chocolate and dark brown, then another trip to Wal-Mart for throw cushions in varying shapes and shades of green and brown/tan . One recliner chair with a colorful throw in shades of brown yellow , green and hints of red , in the kitchen I added red by buying at a garage sale a canister set with red lids which I put on top of my Wal-Mart pantry for decoration..I have no room for a table and chairs , but I do use TV trays for now while I look for a very small table.
I have white blinds at the windows and need drapes, also, When I toss this( beige, piece of old )carpeting I am using for now, I will have to decide on the flooring. I am not sure which way to go..devide the space up using tile in the kitchen area and carpet in the living or to tile the whole thing and use throw rugs???? Or I could use that fake hardwood flooring ,some of it looks nice and real wood flooring is not a good idea on top of cement someone told me. a year and I still havent made up my mind, any ideas on finishing my room?
