I never know if commenters are emailed if I reply. The color questions deserve answerring, since I spend weeks deciding on colors.

The living room green is Benjamin Moore #2144-40, Soft Fern. I'm very happy with it, as it adds vs. sucks light from the room. The only reason I'll change it is if I paint the room orange, which H-Mama is iffy about. Can't say as I blame her. The rest of the first floor is shades of Martha Stewart. The upstairs will get a complete overhaul, I suspect, but not this year.
