more photos and new lighting

Are the walls in your photos the old color? My kitchen cabinets are BM Cloud White and they are a soft creamy white.

Your sideboard is great and is nicely styled. It really can only support two of the wooden family photos above it, though. So, I'd try that first.

The living area doesn't appear to have any lights. So, I'd opt for floor lamp to the right of the TV.

Rather than the fixtures you've chosen for the foyer and island, consider glass. I think the three you've chosen might be a little too much of the same and a little more input than the space can handle - with all of the lines, scroll work and patterning. The glass is simple and will fall into the background so that your chandelier can really stand out as special.

I like the arch mirror you have, but am afraid it's too large for that spot. You could consider some art there, instead. The advantage to having art there is that you'll have some color for accenting, should you choose.

Here are some glass lighting options to consider. The art is there to show scale and how you can pull color from it for accessories.

I agree with everything Manon said except for the mirror/art next to the door. Either leave that wall bare or hang a couple of frames stacked one on top of the other that are no more than about 2/3 the width of the piece Manon shows.

thanks guys

-we have 4 pot lights over the family room

-I put the mirror by the door to create that larger space illusion ha ha since you walk right into the livingroom and we needed a entree table i did the shelf and mirror combo so we yave somewhere to put our keys/mail... not sure what other options are if it is just art pieces (of course i will hang the mirror higher and the walls will be the cloud white but you get a idea in the photo)

-open to other ideas would work on the walls next to the tv, above buffet or in the dining area?

@Beth you are AMAZING!!! yes I love these all! so cosy and inviting. I am not one for color so pillows mirrors ect i can switch out easy would be a great idea!

these are my first inspiration photos and i fell inlove with the chandelier.

The current wall color is very dark, with all the windows open and lights on in the day it is still dark. so i was hoping for a creamy off white so the bright white blinds, trim still stand out. The painter's arrove tomorrow morning, will cloud white not give me that feel?

have you tried a sample pot of Cloud White on your walls? I see the tiny patch you painted, but is that all you did?

what if you painted Cloud white around one of those windows or doors to get an idea of how it will look?

do you like gray? SW Crushed Ice is a very very light, neutral, true gray tone. you may like that one.

Or BM Pale Oak is super popular and a great neutral. It's lighter than what you have now.
