If you have not decided on your furniture you should really not be choosing wall colors IMO wall colors are your last choice .

Thanks Patricia. But the house right now is too dark, and i have 3 young kids and would like to get the painting done before we move in. Otherwise, quite frankly, it will never get done.

Attached are images of my inspiration for the Dining Room. We have wainscoting (similar to as shown here).

also love this for the adjoining room with blue couch, though our couch won't be a sectional and we'll have a coral chair and likely a coral/blue rug. This will be for a north facing room ... so can be gloomy on a cloudy day.

I know what you mean by painting first. I nam building a new home and so hard to paint without your furnishings in the room, I am having the same problem. I did finally choose BM after several samples. BM simply white.
