goodbye pecan sandie

i don't like the color on my dining room walls so i've decided they need to be repainted and i think i found the right color(s).....

irish mist is the color of the walls throughout the house and sandstone cove and/or castle path are the colors i'd like for the dining area. What do you think?

The house still needs a lot of work, but it's liveable now, if you can do without a kitchen for a while. I'm not much of a cook so that's ok for me.
