I think it's adorable the way it is. I like creamy whites together, whether matching or just a little off. It is a nice layered look to me. Given the colors in the living room (without consideration for existing furniture), I'd say the colors flow quite well into one another.

Your kitchen has a sunny disposition about it. I would skip the blue and keep it the way it is, or at least not change it more than a shade or two.

Thanks, Linelle! I think that would perhaps (at least to my biased ears) be a vote for keeping the walls a version of yellow/cream instead of going cooler? I plan to lighten up the walls throughout quite a bit as this space can seem quite dark.

This is my plan for the living room, except I've added a bit more walnut. Kitchen table and chairs TBD...haven't found anything we love.

And this is sort of the look I was previously thinking of on the walls (but obviously add a few zeros to the $architecture$).

I would probably choose a sandy color and use blue and beach glass as accents. This is Farrow and Ball Slipper Satin.

I like the cream cabinets with white trim but I don't like the yellow walls at all. I like the sand color eam posted but I also think light blue would work if you find the right one.

BTW if you aren't going to replace the dark chandelier I would suggest spray painting it a lighter color.

Edit: I know a lot of people really like the BM color Quiet Moments. The exterior of my house is Beach Glass, which is on the same strip and is also a very nice color but might be darker than you want.

I have cream cabinets and the walls are Benjamin Moore Glass Slipper. I wasn't going for beachy, but maybe it would be considered so. (Forgive the blank wall, we haven't decorated the keeping room part of the kitchen, yet. (Well, forgive the no photo, it seems to have disappeared. Will try to edit it back in later.)

Thanks to all for your input. eam, I like your recharacterization of a warmer wall color as "sandy!"

Fishcow - that chandelier is on my hit list! Whether I spraypaint or replace, you are absolutely right. And another hit for beach glass which makes me really want to get a sample pot!

pattisue, would love to see that photo when you can get to it! I have to add mine like three times.

Robo, yes, a firm vote for a warm color in the cream/yellow range. The right cream can evoke the sunniness of yellow without hitting you over the head with YELLOW. And of course, blue accents would look great in such a happy space. :)

I vote for a cream on the walls lighter than the yellow there now and spray painting the chandelier a lighter color. I love the wall color on the inspirational picture.

I like the chandelier the way it is.

If you're considering brightening it up in a beachy theme... what about turquoise? Myself, I'm a big fan of turquoise tile... like we've used [here[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/kingsland-home-craftsman-bathroom-calgary-phvw-vp~18703017) - keeping with the beach theme, if you decided to go with a brighter backsplash colour to liven it up in the kitchen I think it would look amazing!!! However, I'm also addicted to blues and turquoises, so I may be biased. Make sure you show us what you decide to go with! Good luck!

I sampled BM Quiet Moments and Healing Aloe in my whitish kitchen and breakfast area, because I wanted to go with a lighter blue, but in the end, switched to creamier/light yellow. Ended up with Windham Cream. Facing west and north, the blue/grey was just too cool.

For the DR, I sampled Wedgewood Grey, Whythe Blue, Yarmouth Blue (which is what I picked), and a bunch of other blues along those lines. West facing.
