Thank you!! I'm not sure I really want a gray... I'm just trying to move away from all the brown I have everywhere. With the light floors all the brown walls were great... Now not so much. The LR heavy brown leather furniture, the kitchen I described, the FR has brown furniture too. They all flow together somewhat. Would you go with different shades of the green through the rooms. Do I want an entirely green first floor?. (Oh the dining room is in there too. Not changing that wall though. It's a deep brown with white wainscoting and I love it

Can you please show us photos?

Painting the island is going to be far easier than painting the rest of the house.

Green is a very soothing color, and looks wonderful with terra cotta and wood tones. If you like green [and if you don't, find another color], find a shade from your granite, match it and then go a few shades lighter.

Another thing you should do is spend some time going through colors on a paint website. I like Behr's site as they have a room painter program [Preview Color in a Room tab] where you can add different colors to a variety of pictures. I've found it very helpful in trying to figure out colors to use in my home.

Be sure and go through all the different inspiration pictures to get an idea of how different colors look in rooms. The one thing you need to keep in mind is that the color will look different in your home depending on the light. You need to do as Carolyn mentioned about painting the poster board with your sample so you can see how it looks before you commit to a color. And if one doesn't work, don't despair--you just start over. I can't begin to tell you the number of paint samples I have sitting in the garage that didn't work out!

I'll send some very grainy photos... Please keep in mind we are just now beginning to put things back in the rooms post-floor installation. You can see how each room is visible from the other rooms

I put pics on I think... Are there viewable?

No pix.

Just a few

The room with dog is LR. blue walls that goes into DR where the urn is. The DR flows into kitchen.

The next room is large FR with 2 story ceilings and a staircase. The walls in these next pics are actually brown shades but they look kinda green in these pics
