Here the floor plan of my house. The only difference is I had the builder leave out the wall enclosing the dining room.

I never did paint the living area because everything is so open. I just painted the bedrooms and bathrooms. My kitchen has white cabinets, grey/black countertops and there is grey carpet in the living area, study, dining room. I suck at this kinda thing....put me in the paint section in Lowes and I'll stand there for days. Lol!
There are just too many shades to pick from!
