What is the reason you do not want to continue using the metropolitan grey? If you are looking at resale in the near future I would recomend keeping to one color or lighter/darker versions of the same color. Grey is a wonderful neutral and would be good to stick to so you don't end up with that "bag of skittles". Also, posting photos of the rooms in question would really help.

Lovely kitchen! I agree that the wall color isn’t really helping things. I wanted to show you a photo of my kitchen because I have a lot of bright white in my cabinetry and backsplash, dark counters and pulls, and a blue grey on the walls. My wall color is Benjamin Moore Kentucky Haze. I hope it helps you to see the combination and if that might be something you might like. (My cabinetry is painted chantilly lace, and many of the walls in the rest of my home are decorators white)

I am so grateful for all of the advise I've received so far. I have a brief description of my problem to keep from posting a long post, but I've noticed it would have answered a few questions. The photos with the brown paint room was taken from the realtor's site when I first moved in. None of that was my furniture. I've been living in my guest bedroom until I figure out what to do. I've painted that room twice and hated it. It is now green and bare as shown in the photo . Green was even worse than the tanish/pink I had (I know, don't ask lol). I've since repainted my living room which is the gray paint. My living room shows the current color scheme. Right behind my sofa is a builtin nook which also has the same color scheme. I bought a used bed canopy bed that I originally wanted to chalk paint white; however, I've recently had a mind change to purchase a round bed in rose (perferred) or gray. The canopy bed is also pictured. So basically I'm starting fresh, with no bedding or colors. I did imagine painting my baseboards and molding gray with whitish wall paint. and possibly use white accessories to blend in a rose colored bed... Just a thought... I'd hate too much gray by adding a gray bed but maybe I cant see it. Once again, I appreciate all of your help..

DD & SIL have just bought a home and the living room is the first room on her long list of updates. It’s basically a blank slate and she’s so overwhelmed, any help you can offer will be appreciated!. A living room that’s crying for help!!!
