Faron or paintguy may have better input, but here's my 2 cents. Before painting latex over oil, you need to use a primer that can coat oil paint and be top-coated with latex. I believe you'll want to stick to an oil primer for this. Once the stripe of primer has dried, you can cover it with your yellow latex. Personally, I think it'd be easier to stick with spraypaint and use delicate surface painters tape & masking paper to cover the areas you don't want yellow.

love the wood, and retiring to a cabin, I'm so jealous. you could certainly add some light through the pieces around the room. a quick white wash to the table and chair set and the coffee table. I love the black white check theme you have started, keep going with that and pretty soon the wood will fade into the background. maybe white wash the two columns and maybe pick an accent wall to paint to add some contast to the wood. and I think the rugs will go a long way to brighten up the space. if you do decide to paint some of the wood, remember, the wood will always be there to return to for you or another later. good luck and happy sleeping in, you deserve it.

@ Home interiors with ease., thank you! No the stone was painted. That sample I’ve had for a long time since we purchased the stone about 12 yrs ago. I showed it to the painter as an example of how light I wanted my stone painted with a little less yellow.

Chelsea - I looked at your wallpaper in hall post & am thinking I agree with no paper. I looked at your other posts to see more of your home. You’ve done a great job making it look welcoming & a bit elegant too. Nice job with the add on room - I think that’s the great room with the piano. I do agree some color would be a nice add to your home. Did you paint the inside of shelving in great room as was suggested? Sounded like you did like the idea. If not, a 50% version of your color might be great for the shelving. I see crown in all of the pics but can’t tell about entry hall - is there crown there? If not, it would be a good add for elegance. How about a ceiling light in hall? Is there a light & what’s it look like? It’s the perfect spot for a bit of glam. I’d paint the hall same color as DR & stop at end of hall. The entry hall has nice amount of light from windows in DR & from the entry door. Then I’d try the lighter color version on poster board for the enclosed hallway on first floor but looks like you’d need to also include & paint the wall opposite the bannister. There’s not a natural stop between the stair hall & downstairs hall on that side. But, you’d see a bit of the lighter version of the color when you stand at front door & look towards great room. My thought is doing one step at a time then stop & consider whether or not to proceed with full upstairs hall.
