The new paint it up and no more neon green!!! Thanks to all for helping me choose. I went with the olive 4 from Laura Ashley and love it.

The crown moulding is up on the cabinet, although we dont have it stained yet. Hopefully this coming week, it will be stained ( same color as cabinets) and the paint finished above the sliding glass door. Once the backsplash is done (white subway tiles) the kitchen will be done except for.....

the island

should I paint it black? Any other suggestions

Now fabrics for the chair cushions and slider
I thought I wanted to use black and white toile for both, but am rethinking this. I need some HONEST feedback please. I still want to use the toile on kitchen chairs, but I am not sure for sliders in family room. I have found another fabric that I like, maybe better. If I dont use the toile in the family room, can I still use it on the chairs in the kitchen? Here are pics of both. Sorry the sample of toile is so small. What does everyone think about these 2 choices?

Thanks to everyone for all of your help!

I don't care for the black and white toile with it, since the rooms are so open and connected to one another. How about doing a toile in an olive, or a paisley that has the greens and reds and browns of the jacobean? I just think the black and white is too stark and too different from everything else in the space.

As for the island, I suggested black before, when you were thinking of the black toile. Now, I would do a rusty red.

I am really loving the paint too. We went with a washable matte finish, and it feels totally different from satin paint we used previously. It almost looks like fabric on the walls.

Ok- onto the fabric....I love both fabrics. Here are my concerns/ideas. I like the unexpectedness (is that a word?) of the toile and the way it "pops" next to the olive walls. But for some reason- I am not sure. At the moment(ha ha) I tend to be leaning towards the Jacobean ( didn't know thats what it was called- just liked the pattern) but was a bit concerned about it being too busy on both the cornince and panels. When I found it at the store, I went back to the toile prints and found a nice muted brown/green that works with it that I could use for the kitchen chairs.

One more time - how about these options (please bare with me!)

1. Remove the cornice, and use just panels of the Jacobean or Toile
2. Cover the cornice, AND use panels with the same Jacobean fabric-
3. Cover the cornice with the Jacobean print and use solid panels of coordinating color
4. remove fabric from the cornice, have DH stain it to match wall unit and table, add some interesting mouldings, and then add Jacobean or toile panels underneath?

If I go with the Jacobean fabric I love the idea of rusty red for the island. Do you think it might look like Christmas ?
Going away for 2 days- no internet access, so will check back Monday morning. Thanks again for everyone for the suggestions and being so helpful. You guys are the best!
