    OK, so if you want color and not another boring beige, white, gray matchy matchy look.... you said you like Bungalow style so how about these colors by Behr paint: (main color throughout) On Vacation PPOC-33 -- it looks like an old fashioned pale green that you could pair with Lady Rose PPKB-9 and Velvet Crush PPKR-58 for the Dining Room, pair with Rich Earth RAH-87, Velvet Crush PPKR-58, & Colleen Green PPPF-32 with dark brown leather sofa (to match the Rich Earth brown) & craftsman/art nouveau print upholstered chair(s) (containing red similar to or matching Velvet Crush). Use an antique brass & glass coffee table & lighting accessories and accent pieces. And if you can find a wallpaper to match the upholstery you can do an accent wall. You can probably get glass or porcelain tiles for a backsplash that would match the base color - On Vacation, and maybe some of the some red tiles a shade similar to Velvet Crush to add a little pop to the backsplash... and use the Velvet Crush Red for kitchen towels, canisters, dishes, glasses, window coverings ... accent pieces. I would look for "Art Deco" or "Art Nouveau" pieces for end tables in the living room, sofa table or TV table, paintings and pictures throughout the space.

    Brandi, those colors are amazing! Do you have them anywhere that I can see them in actuality on the walls? Also, how do I approach curtains with this? I will try to attach photo later today or tomorrow.

    Dee, thank you so much for your detailed comment. I do not do well with reds...I do not feel relaxed with the,. However, I will be looking up the colors you mentioned for sure. Thank you!

    Brandi, if I put Revere Pewter on the walls, would I do a sofa that is like Nimbus Gray? If so, what approach to curtains...? And we do not love our caramel cabinets at all. Which color would we paint them if I chose R.Pewter and Nimbus Gray in my palette?

    Revere pewter is the best neutral , it will go with the gray

    As far as curtains if you want your space to look large have your curtains hung high and wide and in the same color and tone or one shade lighter than your walls, type in the paint color you like in the search box and it will pull up rooms for you in that color

    Search revere pewter kitchens in the search box and it will pull up many kitchens painted that color, then you can copy ideas from the ones you like

    Thank you, Brandi! We have found a SLATE color sofa that we love and will most likely purchase. Which "greige" or neutral paint color would be best as alternatives to Revere Pewter? I have seen pics with Grant Beige, Edgecomb Gray, Agreeable Beige, Versatile Beige, Balanced Beige, etc...They all seem similar, yet different, from pic to pic...so now I feel overwhelmed with the choice.
