That looks fantastic! As far as wall color... I'd go with an off white or egg shell (I just have never liked stark white walls). That will keep it looking roomy and bright. All the plants and flowers will look brighter too with a white background.As far as the "man cave"... hope he likes it bright too.

Jewell, your new space looks beautiful! I love all the windows and the french doors! Lots of light. I am sure you will enjoy it so much in the time ahead. Congrats!

Jewell, Your project looks great. As for color...I am a really "neutral" person... Color can be added with everything else and the lighter the walls the more light is reflected back at your plants. Paint is fairly inexpensive, too. Very easy to change if you don't like it. They sell little sample bottles at lowe's...just enough to put some on the wall and "see" how it suits you. I think I bought about 4 different colors before I found a couple I liked. BUT you are the one who has to look at it all the time, so pick something that YOU like.

Jewell I love your space. I would keep the breezeway white, but might go with a color for the man cave, nothing dark, but something to add interest.

Consensus is white or near white. Everything looks so cheery and bright with the light from the windows and skylights. I really want to keep it that way. It was so much fun sitting and watching the snow fall last night out those big windows
