I'm trying to get the sophisticated cottage/beach look for my family/eating/kitchen space but things are going horribly wrong - help! Empty-nester who should be downsizing and off-loading all the stuff I've hoarded. Chronic diy-er . .  just remodeled laundry room - new floor, paint, light, sink, replaced shelves with cabinets on 2 walls. That stuff's easy - but I'm clueless when it comes to the furniture and accessory arranging and window treatments.
