Finally painting my house....

We are finally painting our house.... its been alot of talk and no action until NOW!!!! When we bought the house we said that painting the house would be one of the first things we did..... well after a year i finally went and bought the paint and now we have started......
The owners before up had painted the house a cream/yellow color and used flat paint, but when they went to touch up they used a satin base cream/white..... it looked HORRIBLE!!!!!
I finally decided on a color that i thought i would be able to change decorations around..... it is a taupe color and it's looking BEAUTIFUL!!!!

This is the hallway from the front door.... this leads to my bedroom and the living room and the closed doors to the left is a family room/library/sitting room (we aren't sure yet what it will be)
This is our living room the ceiling are two stories high so painting will be a little tricky (i think they are 18 ft ceilings)..... and there is the LOVELY brown/purple wall YUCK!!!! I am painting the fireplace green (when i find the right color).
This is coming down the stairs looking at the front door.... two stories high here too.
This is another view of our living room.... i only have these 4 pictures up because i didn't want to decorate when i had to take everything down to paint..... and to be honest it was suppose to happen within a few weeks of moving in! The opening on the top is our loft... that was a red/maroon color that we painted a Terra Cotta color (love it)..... just need to decorate it now :)
This is another view of the ugly wall..... soon to be pretty :)
