Thanks priairiemom. I picked up a sample of the Repose Gray & am anxious to try it on the walls. It is a very pretty color! Oh Wow! Thanks Tibbs! It's great to see a mockup. Wish I was that talented. It has me quite torn. But I'll start with trying the light shade first. Thank you to everyone for suggestions! :) I think maybe I should loose the valance? I looked at Lowes tonight to see if they carried the Delta champagne gold color so I could see if it could work with the polished brass on the shower door handles but they didn't have it (: Is there any other finishes you think could work with the polished brass?

No - start by adding some artwork, lighting and other accents to break up all the brick. I would never paint natural surfaces (wood, stone, brick) that are in decent shape. It's a beautiful home - don't ruin it.

I think you need to at least post a sample of the green. I am not a lover of olive green but maybe what you are planning will be good. Do you have red tile roof ? You might want to think about green and that roof it can conjure Christmas quickly.

If you're planning on adding curtains or other textiles, choose those before your wall colour. Paint can be matched to anything and that's why it's recommended it be chosen last when doing a room.
