Amanda,
Here's a good idea...I think it will suit your situation perfectly.

Wall Color Idea | HomeGoods Openhouse
Heres an idea for more dramatic interior wall color. Instead of picking 1 color to paint your walls, try 3 on the same chip.
They will ALL blend but will be much more exciting than just 1.
Find a paint chip in the paint store of the colors you want.
Pick 3 colors on the chip that are next to each other (see green arrows in picture), or 1 away, depending on how dark you want to go.
They all have the same color value except they get darker down the chip. Paint different rooms 1 of the 3 colors.

Example: Paint the entry the darkest, the living room the lightest, the dining room the middle color. Or a combination, walls the darkest, ceiling lightest. A large wall the darkest the rest of the walls the middle color etc. Any combination will work because they all will blend. Its a great look and works well with open floor plans where rooms run together or are seen from other rooms.
