I'm currently a big fan of Benjamin Moore Affinity "Mascarpone" as a creamy white that doesn't get too yellow or beige (so much so that I'm a broken record on the subject). The chip is AF-20, so if you liked it in your room you possibly could have it matched in SW. Slghtly yellower but also really lovely is the hideously named "Mayonnaise". Farrow an Ball's "Pointing" is a classic trim cream that you could have matched, too. Our builder usually matches BM "Cotton Balls" in SW for trim in their craftsman style homes, which I like, but I found it just a teeny bit grayer/bluer than I wanted for our house. I love Bronwynsmom's tips for seeing undertones--I will try that next time, as sometimes my eye can fool me. Something I've found helpful is to keep a chip of BM "Decorator White" handy and hold it against any other white I'm looking at. Not a perfect method, since it too has an undertone, but helpful. If you have already chosen your wall colors, hold your trim sample up to all of them--your gut will probably tell you whether the undertones compliment each other or not.

Congrats and enjoy turning your new house into a home! SS or black appliances would definitely work with the maple, but making the switch to Energy Star would be low on my priority if the appliances are in decent shape. First thing I'd change is the wall color, and agree with Teacats that a white like BM White Linen would be great but could go with a deeper Bone White. I think the white appliances will look much nicer and like they belong. If you prefer a light blue or other color, that could also look nice. Whatever makes you and your family feel optimistic and says "home", but that would not be most shades of green for me. If you're the type that can be happy working with your existing kitchen, wander over to the kitchen forum for inspiration on how small changes can have big impacts, but don't go there if you're likely to succumb to kitchen envy as many have big budget kitchens. Since design is an aspect of what I've been involved with professionally and I really enjoy decor, I can look at and appreciate lots of different styles, knowing they wouldn't work for me. I like your existing, and know with a few updates like new blinds, paint and adding art, I'd love it! I don't know that bar seating will be so great for your son or for family communication while dining, so I'd opt for an expandable pedestal round table or an expandable square under the chandie and not go with a fan. Could you be happy with a small loveseat and one or two comfy chairs in the adjacent carpeted area serving as your family room? If you'll use the computer station, fine; but if it doesn't suit your needs, you can always take it out. Patching the walls is minor. Many here have found great quality, solid or veneered furniture that's far superior to much that's mass-produced today, on Craigs List, ebay, estate sales, consignment shops and Goodwill. Trick is to take your time adding wonderful pieces as you find them rather than trying to get all the furniture at once. Happy nesting!

Teal/aqua will be great in the kitchen! What you choose will depend on what you want to put out. I would start with a mat by your sink. Then perhaps a piece of art on the piece of wall to the left of the sink. It looks like that is over a peninsula, is that right? Then find some coordinating dish towels. Places like Target have beautiful kitchen items. Bring some home and return the ones that don't work. You can find stripes, plaids, solids, and florals. If you want more, you could swap some of the stainless items on your counter for more colorful versions. Take it a little at a time just to see how it looks. Different people have different tastes in the amount of pattern and color they like. Have fun!

SW 7028 incredible white. It’s a soothing white - I didn’t want stark. I went against designer idea to match the crown molding / trim to cabinet color. I wanted variance-cabinets to be their own thing- glad I listened to my gut because it’s a ton of cabinets to not like-it’s really a great color- looks great with the satin bronze hardware.
