Thanks so much!!

Kitchen:
The cabinets are oak (as is the floor, which is a darker oak) and the big french doors and windows.

The countertops are a darker green speckled (with black/white/gray/etc) and the tile backsplash is a lighter hunter green type.

I like black and roosters, so most of the stuff in the kitchen is something like that....and antique kitchen utensils, bottles, etc.

Daughters room....she is the one who wanted a darker tan...she liked the "chocolate", but thought it would be too dark....it would look better with black baseboards or white (we think)...so the color we got was a darker mushroom type tan...but it turned out too light for what we wanted. We didn't really want to do pink, as she just wanted to use different shades of pink as accents around her room....she is a teen (while almost 14), so she was looking for a more classy look.

I just didn't know if a darker brown type color would be too much "brown" since the ceilings/floors/doors/trim/baseboards/windows are all oak. The ceiling is a light pine and the floors are a darker oak.

My room....I have seen one wall painted a certain color (and it is always the wall that the bed is on).....I think that looks good...but what would I do the other walls in??

Again, I think if I had white trim/baseboards/etc it would be easier...but we live in a cedar house...and it is decorated semi country.....it is hard!

My first house....was so easy to paint and decorate...this one, I find it hard to for some reason!

THANKS AGAIN!!!
