opinions, please

I just moved in and the pictures are limited to finishes mostly. Who wants to see empty rooms and  a sea of boxes?

I really want opinions on paint colors to offset the existing finishes.

The hardwood floors in the entryhall and stair are rather orange and we have the dreaded builder beige wall-to-wall carpet in living and family rooms. As soon a the budget allows the flooring will change but in the meantime I want walls that are not so white.

This wall color and perhaps my gold silk drapes will make their way into the dining room.

This antique coffee grinder lamp will replace the alabaster one in the entry.

This settee will be in the formal living room that I hope to make a pale gold but it is totally up in the air.

This red and gold Duncan Phyfe settee will be in the library along with the wing chair you see in the background.

These are the fiinishes in the kitchen. The floor is an unfortunate vinyl that will be the first to go.

The kitchen and eating area adjoin this family room.

Let me know your opinions.
