Does this color matches the furniture style I want? Can you tell me what you think?. THANKS!
Hi, we just bought our first house and we are trying to figure out what color to paint the kitchen and the family room. We'd like to buy a rustic reclaimed wood dining table ( 2 example pictures), and these lamps will be hanging over the table, we think they look cool. We wanted a happy/bright color for the kitchen that's why we chose that greenish yellow next to the window (Sesame from Benjamin Moore http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/sesame#ce_s=sesame (note: it's not as bright as in the picture).
My question is: the furniture style and the lamps go with the color or should I use a more neutral color for the walls?
Just for you to know we can't change the floor right now and those red curtains will disappear.
For the family room we are going to go with a gray tone http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/moonshine
Any suggestions?

It seems a bit bright for the style you are going for. Maybe try something more warm like one of the examples in the attachment.
This is where we took it from http://www.younghouselove.com/photo-gallery-2/our-current-house/
look at the kitchen, of course they have a more modern overall style.
This is where we got the idea for the color (look for the kitchen) but they are not choosing a rustic furniture.
One thing that would "do" for your taste, would be an old, blue-ish wooden table (not so brown as the one's you are showing) that looks like it had some form of "Greek Blue" on it at some time in it's life. This would allow the floor to "tone down" a bit. I would then mimic a VERY SUBTLE blue/gray on the walls to help pull the look off.
All of this would be IN PREPARATION for a new floor - distressed hardwood I'm guessing - that would be installed later. Once the floor is "out" you can then strip down the "old blue" table to something more rustic and then add the green to the walls.
Here is a great table/benches as an example:

I would go with a lighter more muted green.
However, I don't like green for a kitchen normally. There are some occasion where I think it does well as an accent color but not the dominant color.
That is such a beautiful rich red floor. You need to find a color that will flow with it, not go against it.
Will locate!

We used Vintage Premium Oak stain on Red Oak.and we love it!
Moonshine also has green undertones so if the red floors continue to the family room, that may not be the best choice.
Have you thought about a deep grey? That could look a little more industrial to go along with the light fixture and table (both gorgeous choices!). Here are a few you can try next to your finishes and fabrics -
(Also Benjamin Moore)
Silver Streak - 2119-40
Asphalt - CC-548
Overcoat - CC-544
Then put some large brushed nickel handles on the cabinets and perhaps some Cararra Marble for a backsplash in a herringbone pattern with a 3" x 6" tile. (just on the full wall that the stove is on)
Good luck and post after shots!
Your floors are beautiful!

It was made by a man who makes picnic tables and benches in Tampa.
My mom found him at his booth at a flea market in Seminole [Tampa] Florida.
