Huffychic I'm so glad I found your post, because I'm in the same dilemma with an adjoining wall in my dining room/kitchen and deciding on paint color. We just did a major reno of the kitchen with beautiful hickory cabinets, walnut flooring and granite counters with splashes of gold and deep gray (National Treasure). How do I join the dining room bright orange paint color (re-painting the dining room is not in scope with this project) with this kitchen? Huffy chic have you decided on anything?

Thanks everyone! We are installing hardwood throughout the entire downstairs.The revere pewter is actually through french doors off of both rooms but you can't really see itwell from either room so I am not so worried about that going with the other rooms as much. It is mainly this view I want to flow well. I considered van cortland blue for the formal living room but it might be too dark/bold for me. I tend to be more neutral/conservative when decorating. And yes I love the yarmouth blue but don't think I want it everywhere. It looks perfect in the dining room.

Frankly-I'm not sure. Not a big fan of accent walls too, unless architecture supports this choice somehow.. But it doesn't mean it can't be done-or that you won't like it. There are many ways to work with colors, and some are fairly non-standard, and they surprisingly can work..sometimes. Which wall do you want to do in gray? (or-which one you want to feature as white?) (I googled Intense White by the way..I'm sure it shows differently from what it is in reality though, because Gray Owl is right next to it, and reads quite different from your samples..:)

No painting tips from me…I’m horrible at DIYs. I would like to comment on the china cabinet. It is crowding the table/chairs. Can you repurpose it for another room? (If so, don’t paint it the same as what you choose for the dining room.
