One thing I always do prior to painting is narrow my choices as you have done with the kitchen area and bring home at least two swatches of each color. I place them in different areas of the room to be painted and view at different times of the day to see how the light and shadow effect the color. For the living room area a warm orange or dark gold might work. The shades would work with either the dark furniture or lighter.

I LOVE yellow rooms – they look bright, sunny and inviting and nice warm yellow with a paler yellow or even a cream or white trim will definately warm up your little house

I browsed BM paints using your color choices (very nice by the way!!) I like all three of your color choices, I think depending o the lighting of your kitchen the Cookie Dough would be very warm and inviting without weighing the room down, my second choice would be Devon cream, still soft yet warm, the Antique lace is very pretty but such a delicate color could get lost against everything going on in a kitchen and could end up just looking white, but again, lighting and cabinet color play a big role in your choice. I used all three colors as a backdrop to check out other color choices for your family room- Boardwalk 1102 would go well with all three colors, warm and inviting, dark enough to add mood to the room but not over powering. If you choose Antique Lace then Butternut Squash 1090 may also be a color you would want to consider for your family room, it brings out the warmer yellow undertone of the lighter color without being overpowering.

A Word About Choosing Bar Stools

Finding and choosing the right kind of Bar Stools or counter stools for your bar, home or your kitchen is an important part choice, as many different sizes, materials, finishes and colors.
First of all, decide if you are choosing Counter Stools or Bar Stools, as they are somewhat different. Bar stools are usually a little taller, by around 4 inches. A good measurement to consider is to make sure that the stool's cushion or seat is about 10 to 12 inches from the underside of the bar or counter. That way, you know that you and your guests will be seated comfortably and have suitable leg room while seated.
Sometimes you may want to go with backless stools, if you don't have a lot of space or room. They have no backs or arms and so they are easier to move around.
Another important consideration is choosing the right height of the foot rests of your bar stools. If you don't get the right foot rest heights ahead of time, you may not be getting the right stools and people will not be very comfortable or have proper leg room while sitting at your home bar.
Of course, seating comfortably will be different for everyone, but if you sit and see the foot rest height is good for you, it will probably do for most. Unless you are getting custom bar stools made for you, you have to get them with the foot rests as they are.
Take your measurements with you when you go shopping and know the heights of the counter or bar surface and underside and ask for help from the salesperson if you are not sure of what sizes to get.
If you purchase adjustable barstools, where you can raise or lower the height of the stool itself, then it's easier to allow the user to adjust to find the right height for the most comfort while sitting. This is ideal if you want to use the stools for different places in your home, from the kitchen counter to the home bar or a kitchen island, for example. Most brands and makers of kitchen and bar stools that are adjustable allow about 10 to 15 inches, which can accommodate almost anyone.
