I don't know why they loaded sideways--sorry! They are right side up in photobucket...I don't know how to fix them, but if you can, you're welcome to! 3003-10C Cream in My Coffee. I looked up Coffee N Cream which appears to be much more brownish on my screen. It is a VERY neutral color. My husband couldn't believe that I paid someone to paint a color that he says is not a color at all! Our entrance is not a big grand one, so I felt like a neutral color that was barely noticeable was the way to go. And since I couldn't reach the walls in the staircase, I don't want to *have* to ever repaint it if we move. But that said, I like it this way as well, so it wasn't just a "in case we move" color. ;) right inside the entrance: hallway: staircase (upstairs hall is the same color too):

Thank you so far everyone! Great suggestions. I absolutely love the character of this house, you are right. It’s one of a kind. I guess my main dilemma is... I would prefer to live with the paint as-is for a while, because there are many other things to do at move-in, but would like to install some blinds that are a little more light-blocking pretty immediately, since we are light sensitive while sleeping and just for added privacy. The current shades look a little too translucent to me... and honestly I hope the current owners leave them but I guess I’m not sure yet if they’re going to. Can’t see why they would take them... anyway, if I choose a color blind id probably want it to be something that would match the future trim. I want to go with thick faux-wood blinds and white honestly looks very nice and seems to be very popular and goes with every color.... and would probably look ok with the beige trim for now? If I went with the darker blind do you think it would also go ok with the beige trim for now? I guess I’m complicating things? Very excited and I actually do enjoy this process of creating a space that we will find most aesthetically pleasing and happy to be in, but I guess i jut have trouble picturing it all in my head. All I know is long-term the beige is probably gonna go!

And btw I also like Kilim Beige and I would classify it as a leaning just a tad away from a ‘light’ beige. Canvas Tan is a shade lighter but I’d still want to know the floor and trim to confidently comment.

I've used both SW and BM, both are excellent quality. Although, I've only used SW from the SW store, not from the big box store -- not sure if that line is a lesser quality. I really, really like a lot SW colors but was limited to BM on my most recent paint job because they're out of stock on a lot of stuff (actually - they're out of most of their stuff at stores around here). I don't know why -- no problem getting whatever you want in BM. I don't trust color matching, there are nuances in color and the base used can affect the color even though the color formula is the same. ETA: I would go to a SW or BM store and ask their salespeople what the differences between lines is. My painter told me that sheens can differ between lines of the same brand and not all sheens are available in all lines, so that is also something to consider when you're picking what to use.
