Since you have a jute rug and a mexican tile floor you'll want something soothing and cool to counteract and balance the warm tones that are already in the room for an inviting look. Try Benjamin Moore's Quiet Moments (and yes, painting those frames white would work really well with all of your white accessories). Good luck! xo, s

I have to say (as everyone else) I LOVE this site! You guys have given me so much inspiration I cant thank you enough. I knew the look I was going for but had no clue of how to achieve it. Thanks so much for breaking things down me. I know with the baby and all u two are so busy. If u could please just give me any advice on a wall color for my living room. I have a denim PB sectional sofa; just got a jute rug today with lots of ocean & shell accesories. I've also been getting lots of White accesories. My walls are more of a tradional yellow by BM and mexican tile floor. I'm looking to bring more calmness to my multi colored room. Should I go for a gray or tan wall color? Im also trying to figure out what color my frames on the walls should be. Right now they're like a honey color (so is all the wood--ie. TV Stand, Dinning room table & Chairs). Should I paint them white? Depending on the wall color. Also in the process of getting a round- dark wood or espresso colored coffee table. Right now I have a honey shadow box with shells in it. So sorry this is so long. Im running over with ideas now..........just need help pinpointing what colors would look best. Thanks so much for your time! Enjoy that bundle of Joy.

I had a feeling of adding a citrus yellow with white & black on to the adjoining rooms. Currently we are tackling our HWFs. Last night we removed the shag carpet and the under pad has been a pain to remove. BTW previous owner had 13 cats and let them "go" anywhere on the shag carpet. VERY gross. Tks so much.

As for what other wall colors can work with black (in those adjoining rooms) you can always pick the same soft yellow tone that you'll be bringing into the black room to keep things cohesive. Or you can go for white for a nice stark contrast (and use black and yellow accessories in those rooms to keep things feeling connected so one room isn't out of left field). Other tones that work with black are neutral tans, golden wheat colors, and bright canary yellow. Hope it helps! xo, s

The kitchen is off the living/dinning room btw. ps: sorry I made a typo I meant “gold” accents.

We think it's actually that lack of official training that helps us keep things doable (while keeping our budgets nice and low) so we love to tell everyone that we just learn as we go (and share all of our adventures along the way). And if we can do it so can everyone else! Happy decorating... xo, s
