Living Room Part 1 of many

This is the living room as of today... pardon the shoes and the fuzzy picture. The two wingback chairs are from my mother. They are some kind of printed blue fabric that are an old, semi stained, mess. M has had these chairs since way before I can remember. They used to be a light blue velvet (back in the 80's) until Ames found M's red lipstick and nailpolish... you can picture what happened afterwards. The table is old as well. To the left of the picture are two huge windows.

So below I'm going to try and do a semi inspiration board of things I think I want to do with the living room. Since most of you haven't seen the house I'll explain something about the color choices (as of now). Most of the first floor is pretty open and airy and I want to keep it like that. So I'm thinking keep everything is some paler tones to keep that same feeling. I'm afraid colors that are too dark might make it feel boxed in.. especially in the two front rooms where the sun comes in from morning till early/mid afternoon when it goes behind the house.

Living room color: I think I've pretty much decided I want to do some sort of pale pale yellow. Since the living room and dining room are directly across from each other whichever colors I choose need to compliment each other. I love the color in the first picture... it's that shade of yellow where in some lights its more yellow and in some its almost white.. but I have no idea which paint company makes it, let alone the color name!

I like this color below... but think it might be too yellow for what I want.

Furniture: I am totally loving these chairs I've found at Pottery Barn and the chocolate brown one at Domino magazine. I just cant decide which I like more.. the armless... or the ones with arms. I sat in both at PB and they were equally as comfy... but both have a different feel. I haven't even begun to decide on fabric selection! I want to get 2 chairs like this and maybe put them either near the windows or one on each side of the entry way into the living room.

By the way.. I saw one of those decorator shows where the decorator actually used two different chairs so that it wasn't so matchy matchy. Thoughts?

As far as a sofa... I saw something like this at a shop in Lewes, De (this one is from Restoration Hardware) But I was thinking of having a two seater. I may have to measure out the size before deciding.
These next two images are from one of the model homes here in the development. I was thinking of doing either one of these. Against one of the two walls in the living room. I love the large mirror above the table in the first. But totally adore the second with the table and the two little ottomans underneath for extra seating when needed!

So for now that's what I've got. Fabric choices/window treatments/maybe an area rug/ and art are kinda off in left field. Thoughts/comments/ concerns are always welcome!!
