Will there be different furniture and rugs?? Everything but the chairs is more warm than cool...

Yes, more on cream to beige furniture

I want an open airy look

My opinion is that brown and black do not go together and beige and grey are essentially brown and black. With the warmth of your current selections and cream/beige furniture you might get away with a greige but it would need to lean more beige. Just my opinion.

Something like these.

Thank You

Your awesome Hockey Mom will send pictures. When completed.

None of these colors are going to look the way you are hoping with that woodwork not being painted. Paint it white - hubby needs to get over this.
