Your travertine is much more yellow than this image but it may help you. You really have to look at the big picture of the spaces that will be effected - is this in a family room with upholstered furnishings/rugs/drapes? If so best to post overall photos. This image has the pure white running everywhere. But if your whole space doesn’t support this approach (cream colored furnishings, colorful rugs, etc) then pure white walls can look unfinished like you just primed and forgot about it. A tone like SW canvas tan might work but again best for us to know the big picture.

Ok. I don’t have any drapes or rugs yet.

We have plantain shutters. I will take another picture of the kitchen. We are seriously thinking of replacing the floors with a wood look tile in a darker color if we can’t make the tile work.

You didn't mention counters and backsplash - staying I assume? If so please please please reconsider the white paint for the cabinets. Or at a minimum you will need a new backsplash for sure. Will get back with what I recommend in a bit.

Your black counters and splash are really overwhelming for white cabinets. Here is an image to strive towards that marries travertine with white and black - the backsplash is key here to making it work. The ceiling is too but you could be ok with a warm tone as your wall paint like a SW Canvas Tan. Please note - backsplash is key and no grey island. I’d suggest bringing your island height down to replicate this look but then you are into new counters. Are you open to new counters and/or backsplash? I hope so.

If you aren’t open to new counters please at least consider paneling the front of the island, also painting it white and doing BAR height stools that bring in your colors. Again, like that inspiration photo.

I‘m doing quartz countertops and yes a backsplash and the center island will be gray probably a darker gray.

If we don’t like floors after it is done we may go with the option of putting porcrlain wood look flooring however we will keep the existing tile in our main dining and living room. What color would you suggest that would go with travertine. Dark wood look floors?

And we are goimg to redo the center island and make it for counter height bar stools square or maybe like this picture.

Thank you so much for the suggestions!! So helpful.

Question number two! What color paint can I put in my living dining area to match the travertine. No rugs yet but yellow walls are just too yellow! I want to brighten up this space.

Best to select your rugs first as you will want that to coordinate. The canvas tan color is a warm light neutral and goes with most things - I like spaces to be consistent for the most part. However your dining nook (back wall only) could have a deep accent color that worked with the art/rug you ultimately choose.

Right!! Thank you so much.

Also, if it's in your budget it would look really great to do a wall mounted credenza that is at least as wide if not wider than the art in the dining room nook...Look at Room and Board's Hover Wall mount unit as an example - it's 72" wide and would look stunning with your art above it and the wall all behind it painted a deep color of the art/future coordinated rug.

That's my nice way of saying that I think your existing credenza isn't working :)

As for flooring - it only makes sense to do new if you are consistent with it throughout the whole area. Even though you are tired of the travertine (tile - I don't think it's actual travertine) - it is in good shape and runs throughout these spaces and will look better overall than multiple floor finishes.

My advice is for you to be 100% decisive about flooring from the get go - either work with what you have or plan to do all new and then know what that is before you go any further with final kitchen finishes. Paint is always selected dead LAST - know all your hard surfaces first and be committed to it. For instance, that photo you posted from Redfin - that has a totally different floor than has been discussed and those finishes coordinate with that particular floor. If you don't like the images I posted with travertine floors then find one that is exactly the look you are going for and stick to it (if you are keeping your floors). If you are doing new - go and get actual floor samples from the pro's you will be working with and look at those in your space. Ideally you would do the floors FIRST in the scheme of any improvements as that will be the messiest job and prone to make you have to do significant paint touch up - so again, paint last. Too much room for 'slightly off' and disappointment if you don't follow these rules.

And never ever ever mix two different tiles in open concept like yours - at a minimum do real hardwood in the kitchen if you are keeping your tile in the dining (although most people do the opposite with keeping tile in the kitchen). You will do a huge disservice to your renovation if you do this.
