Hi Jane..., Sheen choice is such a subjective thing obviously. Some like a "glow" on the walls from nightstand lamps, etc., & others' don't. Some feel Flat finishes look rich, but cleanability drops off. Overall, the Eggshell SHEEN (not color) seems the most popular in our store. Consider your cleaning-styles/frequency too. If you're a fussy cleaner, Flat might not be for you; UNLESS you use a Premium-flat like C2 or ACE'S Sensations flat with Scotchguard-VERY cleanable. Don't be scared to "go deep" with color, if only on an accent wall. Deeper colors in Bedrooms can feel very cozy & warm...kind of the way a Bedroom should be! Be aware though, some dark colors need a dark primer under them. TWO topcoats still needed though!! (Of course, big color changes usually lead to new drapes, etc., etc.,.... ;-) Faron

Off white or very light beige with blue and brown in the accents such as window coverings, throw pillows, area rugs...you get the picture. An expert I am not, so take it for what it's worth...lol.

The kitchen is in the same room as the living room it’s an open floor plan.

In addition to choosing a color to go with your roof, be sure to upgrade the lights; they should be 1/3 of the front door's height. Paint the downspouts to match the color they lie against. Pull out the overgrown bushes and plan for a serious landscape reno with the help of a local pro who knows the plants that thrive in your area. Try it without the shutters after you repaint, and if you want them back, don't put them on the large front window. Remove the fan pieces from the garage windows; they really date the house.
