My Combined Living/Dining I want this room to feel more masculine/feminine/neutral
Neutral What type of sunlight does this room receive?
Mid-day light What do you currently dislike about the room?
The room isn't quite empty, but it doesn't have a lot of furniture. They aren't a fan of the lighting. Dislike the kitchen curtains. No window treatments on the family room windows. They need somewhere for their electronics (DVD player, cable box, receiver, etc). Would like the dining nook/breakfast area to be more organized (regarding kids items).Entryway: would like to change the gold wall color which runs throughout the entryway and house and suggestions for a new entryway chandelier which is about 30 inches in diameter and 5 feet long. Need furniture and art for this area.
Plan to refinish hardwood floors in darker brown.
What pieces of existing furniture, lighting, art or accessories do you want to keep in the design?
Open to keeping or changing the rug. 11x 8.5 foot blue rug photographed in the formal living room can be moved into family room. They are also open to moving the dining chairs from the formal dining room into this space, since they have stain resistant material. Are you open to changing your wall colors?
Yes Do you have a preference for either paint or wall covering, or are you open to both?

Combined Living/Dining:
Since your room gets plenty of sunlight your color options are quite broad.
For your main color, we chose to use gray because it is neutral and seen as elegant and classy. It compliments many colors such as white, blue, and yellow and works well as part of a color scheme in any room.
Use an eggshell finish paint which has a very light touch of shine (similar texture to an eggshell as implied by its name). This finish is very often used for walls and is more durable and easier to clean than matte finish
