Custom paint can be mixed for any solid colour swatch the size of a quarter or larger. Sherwin Williams has SO many colours there should be one that is identical or nearly so to your wallpaper. Do not select the final colour in the store. My SW has such terrible lighting I take the pieces of paper outside in the sunshine before taking home to look at in the actual room.

Hmm, thank you for all the suggestions. The black trim is certainly going, even if painted or washed in the same color. I may consider the light grey wash for the near future to keep a natural but modern look. I will certainly take the advice of not painting with much of a sheen as well if thats the route I go. I really like the idea of building a wood surround and painting that white, but I do wonder about the color of the hearth remaining black if i then go about painting the wood trim surround white. I came accross this which inspired me to have a black fireplace, but i suppose it is a different look than what is already there. I was hoping to keep the cost down, but its not put of the question for a diy job or maybe adding it to the wish list down the line. As far as decoration- i do like the boho style, but my choice of decoration hasnt been leaning that way and it would clash. I do like the yellow though. Last, but not least, when the kids grow up more in a few years, i am flirting with the idea of moving the coffee table into the family room & play around with a different coffee table to better fit the room and fireplace if needed. Anyway Anyway, thanks again. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

@cda1028... I'm not sure what your issue is, but I've been doing LTR and STRs for a very long time. I have been extremely successful, people pay me to consult on getting their STR business started. I have rented to celebrities, top politicians and my rentals have been used to film movies, TV shows and commercials in. Bottom line...I know what I'm doing. I never said I was not going to address the landscaping nor the inside. I came unto to Houzz as I know it attracts the top professionals in the Design arena. The thread I started was merely about getting the advice from others about EXTERIOR PAINT colors.. I know where my strengths and weaknesses lay. Picking paint colors has always been one of my weaknesses and as my Designer is on maternity leave for the next 6 months, I thought I'd pop on here see if I can get the opinions of some other professionals and even others who are good at this sort of thing. Knowing how to run a business does not make me a Designer. Everyone here has been EXTREMELY helpful. The reason I'm not revealing the exact location is because I know there are many people online who are "unbalanced". Some people feel comfortable putting their locations online, some do not. I fall into the latter category. After reading your very "aggressive" message to me, once again I feel that I've made the correct decision. Best of luck with your rental and no need to feel like I am competition to you... as I am 100% sure you are no competition to me.
