Painting Help.
I am new to the site and apologize if I load too many pictures or not enough just let me know if I do something wrong LoL
Okay, we have a house with an open floor plan when the house was first built it was painted with eggshell/flat paint Very pretty paint scheme but not practical with a 14month in the house....and I am sure even worse as he gets older. We love the blue color in the kitchen and are wanting to change it to a darker shade of light blue which we have already purchased and painted in the dinning room area (first picture shows color we are switching too) We are going to paint kitchen that color as well (pictures 2 and 3) as you can see there is a "nook" off of our kitchen that we have turned into my craft area. I cross stitch and have set it up more like an open room than a nook we have sort of tried to make it a room of its own. Currently it is the same color as the kitchen I am afriad if we paint it the same color as the kitchen and now dinning area it will be too much of that color also I am afraid that it will take away from making it its own room. If you look at picture 3 you can see how it sort of peeks out of the view from the living room....( I have a love hate relationship with the open floor plan..I LOVE the design but hate how all of the colors have to sort of blend.) Here are some close ups of that area, the espresso furniture, blinds and curtains stay...bead board stays but don't mind painting.

here is the other side of the craft area, we are thinking of painting the interior of the shelf dark brown to tie in the brown colors. Espresso furniture, blinds stay bead board stays as well but willing to paint. **What color do you suggest painting this area? Would it be too much blue to continue the blue from the kitchen and dinning room area? We have Burgundy accent in the living room which is seen from here and this area can be seen from the living room should we go with burgundy.
Onto the the living room. For a short time the house was rented, the renters decided to paint the living room beige...the issue is one of the walls of the living room flows into the hallway, they left this the original color a light green. We are wanting to paint the hallway as the light flat green now looks very dirty...we are wanting to go a shade or so darker green and of course no flat or eggshell paint...the beige stays as we have based our living room furniture off of the beige and...it would be very hard to paint with the high ceilings.**will that be okay with the beige to have one wall a different color, since it ties into the hall way we were going with the green because the foyer is a darker green this is also the room with the burgundy accent should we go a burgundy...but I don't think the burgundy would look right down the hallway...Also if we whatever color we paint this should we paint the craft area the same...to help blend/tie in the colors since you can see it from the living room?
The last picture is to show where the dinning room area and the living room attach.
So sorry so long and any info is appreciated.
I love the blue by the way( the darker one)
By the way, I would paint the heavily used spaces with eggshell, at the least. Any finishes other than flat will be easier to clean.
