Lighter beige or grey would be pretty. I would do either the riverrock or the small tiles that are in the shower, for the backsplash. I too though was thinking of doing nothing for the backsplash because it does look so pretty already. As for the Weird Wall I suggest three, say 12x12, framed pics of nature. White mats with wood frame to match the mirror frame. I would do sepia colored pics of leaves or trees. You could save a bundle by going outside and taking some pics yourself, get readymade frames if you can get color to match. I like the idea of a simple plant on the vanity. Maybe a white, ceramic pot. I would cover the "dirt" in the pot with small river rocks. You can get them at the dollar or craft store pretty cheap. Or to save even more you can get some out of the yard, like pea gravel, and shine them up with spray on sealant or I think when I was a kid we used glue.

I purchase this house and have outdated cabinet, trim and floors. want to refesh with colors please help

There are lots of options and lots of questions. It would be helpful to see pictures of the full kitchen and the ceiling. - Are you looking to install recessed lighting throughout the entire kitchen? - Do you have access to the attic above the kitchen? I'm guessing that your house was constructed with trusses. What you are calling a beam is really the bottom of a truss. Drywalling over that opening is not that big a project. It would require some electrical work because it's against code to make a junction box inaccessible. But it's not as daunting as it may sound. Here are some types of trusses. Here are what trusses look like when installed There are three primary options for LED recessed lighting. 1. Wafer thin disk lights like these: 2. LED lights that mount to a J-Box (the j stands for junction) like these: Here's what one might look like from below: 3. The traditional standard can with an LED trim kit: Any of these could work. Depending upon how handy you are, it can be a rather straightforward project - especially with roof trusses.

I think with the beams I would go with one color for walls and ceilings. It does not have to be white. What you need to know is what are your favorite color combinations and what neutral and what white you like with your colors. I think your bay window could really stand out with a contrasting trim. It would draw your attention to the window and the beams can fade into the room color. Pick colors you love, know how you want to incorporate those colors in your design, then pick a neutral, pastel or white that works with your colors. As long as the color combination makes your heart sing that is all that really matters.
