I love your new digs! Congrats. I love blues and green with dark wood. I also like wallpaper with wood trim too. This is a favorite enterance of mine.

I love that wallpaper idea! That could be very neat. Thank you so much!

That house is going to look gorgeous whatever color you paint it. Johanna Gaines is way too invested in using black, white and shades of gray predominantly, (IMHO) and then adding pops of color with accent pieces. So not sure what you mean by liking her style. If you like her style, pick a really pale color or leave as is and put her style of art on the walls and add pops of color. I would figure out my furniture and art first, and rugs, then pick a color that highlights those. When I had to pick colors for my rooms in my new homes, I have put the items in the rooms that I wanted in there and found inspiration from their colors. Usually a color scheme emerges.

Same with liking Gaines style, maybe get some furniture and pieces mimicking her style and then you can figure out a color. But from what I see, your house is already painted in her style, it can be treated as a neutral if you want it to be. My house has all builder's white walls and while I don't like them, since my house is "open concept" I'm not really up for moving all the furniture around to paint the whole dang thing, so I have left it. The walls are loaded with art and I have color everywhere, so you don't really notice the white, it blends. That also seems to be Gainses style, open everything up and wall colors all the same. You have that pretty much. I envy you your closed-concept, I would paint the rooms different albeit complimenting colors, which actually suits the style of the house. But that's just me and I love color.

Edited to add, after I saw Rorah's gorgeous example, is that it really shows how white can be treated as a great neutral and then it adapts to many ways to pop color and texture into a room.

Do a search for Craftsman style house and you’ll see lots of inspiration for wall color. Nice house.

Pretty house! I love roarah’s pic too. Look at some gray-greens, like BM Grat Mirage.

I wonder why they painted the crown molding white? Or maybe it was added later? I’d be tempted to paint that the same as the wall color.

I’d replace that “boob light” too! (Well, and the ceiling fan, too, while I’m at it...)

SW 7045 Intellectual Gray looks good with wood.

You have a great head start if you wanted to go with the style of the house. Sherwin Williams has a small selection of arts and crafts paint colors in their historic collection. Search for Sherwin Williams historic colors. Of course there are thousands of colors to choose from, but it might give you a flavor for what colors are classic in this style of home. I’ve seen Hubbard Squash in a room and it was gorgeous in spite of the name.

You may be thinking of a different direction altogether. I don’t watch the Gaines’ show, but have seen it a few times. Sort of farmhouse-y?

SW Essential Gray

@celerygirl thank you so much for that! How did you do such a thing? So handy!!!!

I might buy "Intellectual Gray" just for the name itself! :) You can download your own room photos on most paint company Web sites and try out colors.

I used Photoshop.

Here is interesting [discussion[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/century-old-partially-remodeled-farmhouse-dsvw-vd~5085921?n=247) ...take a look on painting colors. A lot of wood, it reminded me of your dilemma.

I don’t usually like stained wood, but yours is lovely. I would replace the crown with wood stained to match the rest of the trim and add one of the richer wall colors recommended by others.

your amazing woodwork will be the star, no matter what colors you choose.
I'd just like to say " thanks", that your post didn't start out... "I'm thinking about painting my woodwork white."
best of luck in all your choices. you already have an amazing home. you can only make it better, and your own, when you honor the history.

What a wonderful home! I love the woodwork and size and proportion of the rooms. Green always works great with stained wood, as do other warm colors (red, gold, blue-green, orange). But before you paint the walls, have a decorating plan in mind. Figure out what you want to do in each room, then come up with a furniture layout and fabric and rug selections. Then select the paint color last.

Is anyone know what kind stain i should do to my rough Brazilian cherry hardwood floors, I have my whole house trim cherry Brazilian.

You might want to start your own discussion. Add photos so we can better help you.

Take a look at Bradbury and Bradbury wallpaper and order a few samples. This company creates historically correct papers for period homes. You will find your color palette that fits the home and avoid muddling it up. Your house does not want white walls.

Gorgeous gorgeous woodwork!!! I would find a rug or big piece of art with colors you LOVE and use that to develop a palette. Teals and greens look great with wood and you will find lots of lovely shades that will look great in your home. You do not have to be historically correct or any of that silliness.
