Painting Ideas For Rooms

[c_zimmerman724]

I need some help!!!!

I have a kitchen, dining room, living room, den, bathroom, and 3 bedrooms to paint. Does anyone have any cool paint ideas or color schemes? The kitchen has a yellow-gold countertop and dark wood cupboards. I just bought this house (my 1st) and I am overwhelmed I guess.
Thanks!!

Oh my GOSH! Do you have our kitchen? Ha ha. Actually, though, ours have lighter countertops, but the dark wood sounds about right.

We painted our kitchen a deep golden yellow with white trim. We're considering painting our cabinets white to sort of have an insanely cheerful kitchen. We then had our dining room/living room (which are really separated by a wall-bookshelf thing) painted a lighter shade of yellow, white trim. It goes well with our hardwood floors.

The bedrooms in my house were painted different colors, depending on the mood. My room is a deep salmon, and it looks great. It's not too much. If you can find a color like that, that may seem like it's too deep/bright, but you really like it, do a room in it and then use some curtains to make it more humane, if you can't handle the color.

I say, just have fun with it! The worst thing is that you might have to repaint, but really, color is better than no color, in my opinion.
