I'd personally use (actually I DO personally use) different wall colors to carve up open floor space. We have 3 wall colors (one of them green, in the kitchen) in our kitchen/living room.
Congrats Ric, you've got a wonderful looking family going.
Vicki, when all you want is sleep and a clean house, then you should just sleep a lot and clean your house. You've been through a lot, shut off your brain for a bit.
