And not just anybody."
An interior designer to be exact. And since I don't know one or have the money to pay one, I am asking all of you. We got the furniture pictured below about 8 months ago and since then I have been racking my brain to figure out what color to paint the walls. I don't want to buy a new rug, so...I am a little limited. I am also limited for another reason I will mention later. What color would you choose? (Note: My entertainment center has a little bit of red, but is mostly dark.)

Question 2: What do I do with this. I am embarrassed to even post this picture. The fireplace is SO dirty. Since the kids can't eat on the furniture they eat on the fireplace...hence, the dirt. I really want to paint this a different color too. I also need some decorations for the mantle. I kind of want to move the clock too! So...What do you think?
Question 3: See that dark wall in the back? Well, that color goes all the way through my kitchen and dining room. I like having two separate colors, but this is my other problem that I mentioned above. I don't know if you can really tell in the right hand corner the 2 different colors. Can you all help me. I know there are some very creative and stylish people who read my blog so I want to hear from you. If this requires a visit from you to my house or a trip to a store, I will do it. 
This nice weather gives me the itch for change, and since I am not going to be moving, paint and new decorations are the easiest way to go. Can you help!?

So fun to re-decorate! Even a paint change always makes a room feel completely new and fresh! The "arts and crafts" palettes from Sherwin Williams (both the interior and exterior colors) are full of fabulous colors.....and many of them would definitely compliment your furniture and rug. Restoration Hardware's "silver sage", "bay laurel" or "spanish moss" might look really good in that room. I have the swatches for these if you want them. Don't know a ton about painting fireplaces...although my parents did paint theirs and it turned out nicely. Happy decorating....let me know if you want me to run by my stash of paint samples or swatches. I have now gone to buying the little cans of paint to try before we paint a room, so I have a TON of "practice" colors in the garage!

Also, a nice mirror over the fireplace would make your room look larger and brighter.
Happy Redecorating!
