My kitchen, nook, and family room are all pretty open to each other. A friend who I trust picked Comfort Grey for my breakfast nook kitchen and family room. Once I painted the nook and kitchen my husband and I both thought it would be too much in the family room. These rooms have northern windows except for the one western window in nook and 2 smaller windows in family room. I really like the Comfort Grey in the kitchen where there is no natural light cause it looks more green. What should I do? Should I paint the nook and family room one color and what color should I try? Also I have a taupe going up the stairway off the kitchen and family room..how do I transition paint there with 2 possibly 3 different paint colors? PS Please disregard all the kid stuff and clutter..its winter break here! Also my daughter and husband both do not like the paisley drapes..opinions on those?
