I finally got pics of the place loaded into Picasa so thought I would share a few with you to get a better idea of my issue. These are from the day I actually saw the cottage for the first time (and signed the agreement!). Disregard the furnishings of the PO. The outside: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/jKm1gHJaL48NY0pqtQ_Paw?feat=directlink Here's one end of the kitchen/DR combo room. PO had this as a LR/Kitchen combo. http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/PRSaJk9hooU21zOV6Qj0sg?feat=directlink Here's the other "kitchen" side of the same room: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/tHQZu_yO1NzBSHWX6shJnQ?feat=directlink Here's the long hallway from the kitchen: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Ygg8ZBYHid6l39VQDIDcqw?feat=directlink The more I look at these, the more "go off-white" feeling I have. It just strikes me as right with the dark wood.

In my last home my entire family room and kitchen were painted SW CG and my master bathroom was SW SS. BOTH looked very blue in that space. In my new home I had a bedroom done SWSS. In this space it looks very GREEN. Its a beautiful color but I had thought it would be more blue. These two colors are very much affected by light and by yellow light. It completely changes them. I did the master bath in this home in SW Tradewind and I love it! There are so many colors of similar character to go with. A really really pretty color is VALSPAR SEA SALT BLUE. I think you need to make sample boards and try them out and decide of you want more blue more green or more gray. Excuse the paper shades on the window but this is the Tradewind in my new bath. Sea Salt in last home Comfort gray in last home Sea Salt in this home Another color that was a big contender you may want to look at is SW Silver Strand.

A quick Google found these - https://www.homedepot.com/b/Window-Treatments-Curtains/Grommet/1215/N-5yc1vZarfwZ1z0z5ilZ1z1a3uj But I wasn't able to find other stores that list any longer than 120". re: your narrow corner window, depending on the panels you find and their width, you may be able to cut a panel in half length-wide to use on that window. If you or a friend sew, it would be easy to fold over and then stitch up the cut ends. Do you want to be able to close the drapes fully over the windows, or are you adding them just at each end for color?

Usually I like blues with brown and you need to lower the pics on that wall to be center of pic at eye level when standing at the railing. I am not a lover of accent walls unless they connect to something in the space like a piece of art or an item you love so what is it you want to accent.BTW clocks IMO are not art work and you need much larger art on the piano wall and nicer closed storage for toys .
