I need to repaint several rooms in the house.....last year, we did my daughters room.

We wanted a darker tan, but not a chocolate...and the color I ended up with was just too light (aurgh)....course, my DH would NOT take it back and repaint over it. I just don't have a good eye for colors.

We have pine (wood) ceilings and oak (wood) floors and trim...and windows and doors. Ceiling is 18 foot in her room. Her room is a Paris theme....

Is there anyway someone could post some paint colors they think would look good in her room?
I carried fabric samples to Lowe's when I picked out paint and I was still way off! (aurgh)

Here's a picture of Lily on Katelyn's bedspread.....I can take pictures of the room later.

ALSO,

For my bedroom, I was thinking about the robin's egg blue color...I love that color and it looks so good with black picture frames, etc against it....BUT I didn't know if it would look good or not. I have the Oak wood floor and wood trim and oak doors and windows and my bedding is a tan suede (which can be changed)...OH, the ceiling is an offwhite....do you think this color would look good?

AND,

My kitchen is currently a light sage like green w/ a darker green speckled counter top/tile. I am thinking of repainting it some sort of darker tan. The hallway would be painted the same color too (as they tie in together).

So........anything "country" color.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP????

I see colors that I think would look good......but then they don't. And some that I like, I think they might be too dark......so I don't get.

Also, what type of paint is needed?? Satin, gloss, semi-gloss, etc. The boy at the paint counter at Lowe's was NOT very helpful!!!
