House ideas...

This is our current home and decor... but this will be changing soon. We are moving! Our closing is this Friday and I am anxious about all the work that this 12 year old home needs. We are getting new carpets, having the downstairs painted and will attempt to paint upstairs starting this Saturday! I've posted some photos because I need help with colors. Can anyone out there recommend their favorite paint swatch?



I am looking for a neutral khaki/brown color for the great room in our new home. We currently have Sherwin Williams blonde in our house. I love the warmth from this color but I'm thinking I want something less yellow for the new home (or maybe just darker carpet will work?).

Also, I'm trying to decide what color to paint in the kitchen. The cabinets will need to stay white and we plan to get new countertops at some point. Below are some ideas of the blue I'm thinking of, but just not sure what would go best with the great room as well since they are very open to each other. Oh, I don't mind going more modern too. I'm open to anything especially free advice!
