We moved into our home in June, and at that time we did not have the funds to immediately do interior paint/refinish the hardwood floors, which have yellowed and have sun/rug marks. Now it is January, we have the funds, and I am terrified of making a mistake. My old house I did this all before we even moved in and it was easy; I think because this is a much larger home I am intimidated.

The current interior paint color throughout the home is BM Wheeling Neutral, it’s like a green-tinged brown/beige with a LRV in the 50s and IMO makes the home look way darker than it is. The kitchen - cabs and counters - cannot change right now, so whatever paint I choose has to sort of go with it. The floors are 2 1/4 red oak that I would like to sand and restain Dark Walnut. Which isnt actually super dark. For me that part is pretty straightforward.

I am paralyzed with the paint - I hate the current color, but I am terrified of making the wrong decision. I painted my master bedroom White Dove last week, and it’s a north facing room so now it looks blue-tinged in the natural light, so I am going to repaint it in BM classic gray, which is a color I have used before in my old home and like, to get more contrast with the trim/crown molding.

My thought is to paint the whole 1st floor classic gray. It will go with the current trim color, which is a little more of an off-white than I like but painting trim is very expensive! The other thought is to go white - which you could see I tried on the walls, top is White Dove and bottom Chantilly Lace. But I would have to probably also do the trim for it to not look weird. But it may still look weird with the kitchen - or no?

The current color that I think is ghastly actually goes with the kitchen. I think classic gray would be a better match than a stark white. But the great room would look great in white. But the whole back of the house is open, there is no casement separating the great room from the kitchen, so doing different colors is challenging unless I stop at the wall where the mudroom is.

I know I’m probably overthinking this. But it’s a few thousand bucks as I’m not doing it myself so it’s not nothing!
