Charmean, we took your advice and used Elmira White in our small Spanish style bungalow. I adore the color, so thanks very much for that advice. I'd like to use the velvet drapes from Restoration Hardware in the living room - are you familiar with their colors at all? I'm wondering if the "white" (soft white) or "oat" color would be better? It's hard to tell online, so I'm not sure if the "oat" color is more beige-brown or beige-yellow. I have a Karastan Agra red rug and some colorful artwork and want to keep the walls/drapes somewhat neutral. Thanks for any advice you might be able to give - I keep returning to your designs again and again as my inspirations!
