Here is another shot of the kitchen opening to the living room, which is in turn open to the dining room. the three rooms occupy a u-shaped area.

What a beautiful house and gorgeous woodwork and cabinetry -- congratulations! I think depending on the tones and hues of cream, gold, and green you choose, you should be able to get them to work, from what I can from the pictures.

It seems like the wall is currently a more aqua blue color than the kitchen backsplash, which looks like a more powder blue. I think creams and greens would be lovely -- I'm not a fan of the "House of Turquoise" look.

Yeah, the photos show the seller's stuff, or what's left of it. i keep thinking my existing upholstered pieces are more "dirty".

Here's the master bath.

Yes, I figured those are the PO's furnishings.

Luckily, the warm wood flooring also works in your favor. And once you get rid of the pale turquoise walls, you should be okay. Just removing the turquoise furniture and accents should make a big difference.

If that's all the turquoise in the bathroom, it will be behind a shower curtain most of the time, yes? And I love turquoise with greens and other blues.

What shades of green and pale gold do you have in your current house? What color are you thinking of for the living room walls?

The house has good natural light, so I'd be favoring colors (and window treatments) that enhance it. I was thinking of a pale neutral through the whole space that works well with the trim and cabinet color, but which also has enough "presence" to provide some contrast with the woodwork. I need to get the name of the cabinet color from the seller, which will help.

My current house is an antique, and my colors are mostly muted. Tree Moss in foyer and one bedroom, Nantucket Gray in MBath and dining room, Gray Wisp in MBR and laundry, Almond Bisque in another bedroom, Monroe Bisque in halls and stairwell to second floor, and Crisp Khaki in living room. The only clean color I have is Dune Grass in powder room, all are BenMoore. So basically grayed green and blue/green, and lots of cream/pale gold.

I think the new house is telling me to go "cleaner" in general, without going bright or saturated. I think I'm stuck on how to use a warm neutral wall color that works with the cool gray/blue of the marble and tile.

I love your new house! It looks so fresh & lovely. I used a very versatile SW color in many rooms of my house that I think might marry your existing stuff with the new house. Try SW Lattice & see what you think.

Wow. Lattice is a gorgeous color, and some of the images that came up in my search had some furnishings and accessories that were blue or turquoise, and they coordinated really well. There was also some gold/cream in some images.

Thanks for that suggestion, I'll definitely try it out when I'm ready to paint.

Regarding the MBath, yes the curtain will be closed most of the time, but the marble vanity top will dictate a color as well.

There is a separate family room off the kitchen where I will probably use some of the gold and brownish furniture that I already have in some rooms. Slipcovers are also an option.

To me carrara marble is a neutral. It was popular for thousands of years before the recent trend for gray walls with pops (ugh) of pink and turquoise. I also think it keeps kitchens and bathrooms from tipping over into too much beige. If you want to go with "cleaner" colors, then I would definitely do it, but I wouldn't feel "pushed" into it by the marble. Blues and greens of various hues and shades tend to play very nicely with each other, blues with other blues, greens with other greens, and greens and blues together.

Are you thinking of repainting the kitchen cabinets? Because if you're not, I think the blue backsplash is understated enough -- it looks more like a gray blue than a bright baby blue on my monitor -- that it won't create any sort of visual problems with paint on walls in the adjoining rooms.

Here are some rooms with warm colors and with blue, in this Laurel Bern blog post. I love that Miles Redd room (the one with the two fiddle leaf figs). The Mollie Johnson kitchen also has touches of blue, which shows me that if you want a warmer color scheme, it should work well with the kitchen backsplash.

This homeowner also used a khaki with a blue backsplash, and carried it through.

I agree with becky...you absolutely can mix muted and brighter colors when it comes to decor and soft furnishings. It happens in nature all the time around us-who are we to be smarter than it:) It might become even more interesting..giving you this layered effect. And yes, whites and creams work together; so do blues; and especially, so do greens.

Depending on the mood you want to achieve-you can go to town with colors so to say..or you can be cautious and look at proportions of each, so the effect will be more elegant and refined.

The house is gorgeous..congratulations!

I saved several pics of colors working together just fine, some more muted and some brighter..

Thanks for the link and all of the pics. I'm feeling a lot better about working with the blue, which is something I haven't done before. The kitchen is brand-spanking-new, so I won't be painting the cabinets.

The back splash is definitely a gray-blue.

I've saved some of the images you all shared to use as inspiration!

Our new home is painted eider white throughout. So I grabbed a color palette from Sherwin Williams that includes eider white. It seems to include several of the colors you mention, so I thought I would post it in case it is of interest.

Absolutely love your new home, colors and all. The color palette that crl shared has great paint ideas that would add what a "grayed" or "muddy" colors into the mix. Changing the furniture to your items, with the muted tones, will change the entire look of the space. Once you get your furniture in the house it will likely be easier to see what will work best. Congratulations on your new home!

What a lovely new home you have there. Here are some "Surf & Turf" SW colors that are mentioned on City Farmhouse Blog. The collections include blues with lots of browns, beiges, a few greens. Some of them look really nice, and like they would mesh your warmer furniture with the blues of the new home.

Here's another image that looks like it has some things that would help, too, although the blues here are a bit more aqua than what is in your new house. It's one of my (many...sigh) favorites, so I'll include it in case it helps.

Love that egret painting!!!

Your new home is beautiful. Once you get all the obviously blue owner's items out I think you will have more of a clean slate to work with than you think.

For the master bath, you could try chocolate towels with the flooring and blue tile you have there. Or just keep it simple with white. For the other rooms, I'd wait until you get your furniture in, or at least a rug or two, and see how well things come together. It will likely be better than you are imagining now.

Lovely home, and it will be lovely with you there too. Can I just say, the photos are amazing. I know a professional photographer can do great things, but were the window views enhanced at all? Some of them, like the bathroom, just look so perfect (not to mention that the window view reflected in the mirror is not what we see out the window, but that could be the angle?)

Thanks for the compliments. The view out the bathroom window is just what you see, part of the front lawn and the neighbor's tree across the street. the house is 2200 s.f., smaller than what we have now, but just three blocks away in a great neighborhood.

Some of you may have seen photos of my current house, I posted them when I was struggling with changing the wall color. I never did get to it as I was too busy getting the house in shape to sell. Funny, now that all of the cleanup and projects are done, I don't want to move anymore, LOL.

Old living room, pro photos from the listing. Blue sofa...

I don't foresee any trouble, especially looking at your furnishings and decor right now. Actually, I kinda predict it will be very cool))

I love your current LR, too, and I think your pieces will go well in the new home.

Thanks. I checked out the SW store today and brought home some colors. Will post on my progress, closing is still six weeks away. This is going to be fun.

I think your furniture will work with the existing colors in the home, but I think painting the kitchen-dining-living a very pale gold would be even nicer. Painting the ceiling a pale, pale green/blue (or the color of your sofa, actually) say 1 gallon of the lightest shade of color in 4 gallons of white. It will not be obviously a color, more an off-white, but will really make the crown molding pop. It disappears now into the ceiling and cabinets.

Be still my heart! Wow saypoint, what a gorgeous house you bought! I'd love to see a picture of the master bedroom's lavender walls...please :)

Not much furniture or decoration, but here it is.

I've painted ceilings pale blue/green before, in another house, and like the effect very much. Many visitors didn't notice it wasn't "ceiling white" unless I mentioned it.

saypoint, your things will look beautiful in the new house. Enjoy!
