Im looking to lighten space up with one color for all rooms that are open to each other.  I've tried BM Manchester tan (looks gray next to my cabinets and makes them look dingy). Also tried Monroe Bisque but its too yellow in my sunny room.  Tried Bleeker Bege, Revere Pewter, Edgecomb gray but the all seem to look gray and make cabinets and dining table look dingy.   I'm going craaaazzzy. Please help recommend a neutral color.  I have the BM Fan deck and can't seem to pick the right one.  I've also tried the above mentioned paints on the wall using samples.  The current color Wilmington Tan seems to work with my cabinets, granite and living room furniture but I need a change. Something Lighter.  One last note; The living room and dining room are very sunny.  Thank you in advance.</span><br /><br /><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;

I think of them as french romantic. We lean towards french it goes well with our antiques. I was thinking of wallpapering the backsplash instead of tile. We are going to coffer the eating area off the kitchen and I might wallpaper or select a color similar for the inserts. My dishes are blue danube. Do you think we are on the right track? Thanks, Diane</i><br /><br /><br /><br />DIANE:  For french you are definitely on the right track with this style.  If you are wallpapering a back splash you may want to consider a glass panel in front of it to make it more impervious to splashes, steam, heat and easier to clean.   Follow below for color - I'll answer both your question and  Gisela's at the same time....<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.82666778564453px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;"><br /><i>I love your blog!
