What is in these rooms? What color is your upholstered furniture? Your curtains? Your rug? These things should come before your wall color! FAR easier to find a paint to go with your furniture/curtains than to find furniture/curtains to go with your paint!

The cabinets are all being painted white or a shade of white-ish.... unfortunately I picked a carpet 7 months ago - and didn't think through the entire house of colors - hence why I am irritated with the developer designer for not even recommending this website to me - never heard of it until 6 weeks ago. I prefer sea glass tones of color and this is where a gray based carpet would have been a better option. But too late now.

I am very impressed with your property! The colors however are pretty bad and I would normally not take on a project using these colors but it is important for people here to understand color placement. From the form you sent me it seems that you don’t like a lot of colors. A house will always look best with period and style appropriate colors. Just think of how clownish a Colonial house would look with deep Victorian colors. A Victorian house such as yours should have earth toned colors – never pastels and always a dark window sash. Your house needs to have 3 colors. A body, trim and a sash color (storm windows must match the sash). The sash color can be used as an accent. You said you wanted a dark green sash and that is a very good color but it may be difficult to find a good dark green that works with the green trim.. While color is important it is not anywhere nearly as important as color placement. While Houzz is great one must really be cautious here. Just because 100 people say to do something does not mean that is the correct thing to do. I spend most of my time not only fixing homeowner mistakes but color placement mistakes made by architects and designers. The trim of a house plays a very important role. The trim color portrays the structure of the house and incorrect placement can make the house off balance at the least. So many people get confused with this and I understand that can happen very easily. Will be writing a book on this someday. In the attached rendering I did there is no accenting. I would normally like to do some accenting but was not able to do any. On this house the only area that would be accented is the boarder around the panels. For your house however I would NOT accent that. The reason is the accenting would be confined to one location and you need other areas of the house to also be accented to achieve balance with a more even distribution of the accent color across the house. There is a logic to accenting and the architecture will show what can be accented. No accenting is better than to accent incorrectly. There are no other areas that can be accented on your house and that is fine. This seems to disappoint people for most people like to go accent crazy. The attached rendering shows the correct placement of the house colors. It is actually quite simple but everybody seems to think too much into it. Notice that the vent is painted the body color. Also, gutters get painted the trim color and downspouts the color they rest against. The following article is important for many painters have no clue on what to do so you may need to teach them. https://www.oldhouseguy.com/painting-windows/ Best of luck! .

@havarockey, If you like it and it makes you happy then go for it. Our input here is to help you find your happy place and Congratulations! So exciting for you and your new home! Patricia is right in that you are looking for a backdrop to what you want to add later which is why I chose biscuit and based on this inspo that I thought fit into what you were looking for and if its not that is OK too. If you like the stone then keep the stone idea! You may want to narrow down some wood and stones that you like so you can pull from there for your paint color. @Patricia, please be kind to all and know you are loved and can make good input without tearing everyone else down, including those asking. I do hope you have a blessed day.
