pewter gray cabs and white counters, but what is the plan-paint till you can remodel? Or do you have great cabs that will last another 15 yrs? Provide info ... You can always do white anywhere/everywhere with red. Are you replacing anything? Sink? Faucet? Can you get new laminate counters?

I did a major overhaul of my dining room (right before Thanksgiving, of course) and got a lot of information on the best way to rid the ceiling of popcorn, right here. So, I wanted to return the favor and talk about how easy it is to paint over River Rock paint. I'd painted the dining room with a maroony brown several years ago, and most of the comments on the internet about painting over it are crazy. Saying you can't, saying you need to sand it down first, etc. Here is what I did. I vacuumed the walls, because all those little specks of "sand" can hold dust. Then primed with a high hiding primer. I used Zinsser Cover Stain, which has the consistency of marshmallow cream, with a fairly fluffy roller. The paint was Hirschfield's, two different colors, one an eggshell and one a satin. I used the original Lauren wool rollers to put them on, and the room looks lovely. The combination of the primer and the two coats of the paints has done a wonderful job of smoothing the roughness, and the walls just feel softly textured now, instead of like sandpaper.

Hi all! Thanks so much for all your input! So the rug definitely a legit "Persian", it kind of sits under that general umbrella of rich-colored rugs. Looking again, I don't think teal will work. Still feeling like a dark color might be nice but I might be pushing in a space where it actually just won't work. The studio is a very odd space - quite difficult for me actually. I'm on a tight budget as well so only so much room for playing. Here are pics... 1. These are the two walls to be accented. Placement of rug in bottom right corner of pic. I want to put in a room divider like this one https://za.pinterest.com/pin/384635624400093213/ in line with the wall and for the length of the bed. Maybe a dark color behind that wouldn't actually work? 2. Here is the rug (ignore all that furniture at the window, it's going.

What wall paint colours would go with my red oak floors and cabinets? I know there are reddish undertones so I am find it hard to choose what paints to sample.
