I need help. t These countertops are more green than I'd like. I would really like to bring out the GREY (undertones) instead. the cabnets are a really red cherry. Between the green undertones and the red cabinets the whole kitchen is too christmas-y. what paint color would you recommend?

Every living room with a front door is a "walk through" living room. Draw a to-scale diagram of your living room on 1/4" graph paper, indicating the location of all doors, windows, openings to other rooms, and other permanent features. Then make cut-outs of furniture you plan to use in the room, placing them in various configurations until you find an arrangement you like. Placing your furniture away from the right-side wall encourages people to either walk into the room center OR to walk behind the sofa to another room. Guests will be ushered INTO the living room arrangement. The plumber will pass BEHIND the furniture arrangement to the kitchen or bathroom. Once you finalize a furniture arrangement, you can select an area rug to place within your arrangement. As you know by following Houzz, at least the front half of all your seating pieces should be upon the rug.

I've only used the artificial, but love it. I just recommend cutting a rug pad to shape underneath on the hardwood floor so you don't slip when getting out of bed - speaking from personal experience!
