squirrel: I like the one with the red lampshade. I will keep these as my inspiration pictures as I continue to work on this room. You've helped immensely! kmcg: Love all those pics you posted and they have given me lots of ideas. bungalo_house: I think I need to get some more pieces to fill out the corners to make it work. Once the crown is done I can play around a bit more--as is, I move everything then the trim guy moves it all out of his way. If anyone can find me the lyre/harp table that would make my day (and not on eBay as I'm not going to pay an arm-and-a-leg for shipping on something sight unseen after my chair fiasco). You've got me working back in that direction. I think I'm just going to start calling all the antique stores in the area. BTW: anyone like this floor lamp (with a red shade) better?

I just painted my kitchen Cilantro Cream- It's a Behr color my painter had made into SW paint. It's lovely creamy, green light, fresh. Can't find camera at the moment, but will post a pic if I can find it later. I love HD's new sample options. I went through many before picking this color :)

Have you tried doing Dry Sage 50%? It will be the same color tone but lighter. On my house my trim was SW River Birch - a gray taupe color. I needed to paint my stucco and wanted a lighter gray and rather than going through a gazillion samples trying to find the right light gray, I did SW River Birch at 25% and it was perfect. SW should even be able to mix a BM color for you if you want to get their sample pots - they're cheaper than BM quarts!

I don't know if this will help but I've got similar colors to what you're thinking. The blue color on the bathroom ceiling and the bedroom walls are the same. Guess it's s a difference in flat and egg-shell, windows and no windows, horizontal vs vertical application. Bathroom walls are BM Lenox Tan Bedroom walls are SW Rain and ICI Light Chocolate Your home is beautiful! Monica
