Living room we have not decided and bathroom needs to be redone fully so I am not going to pain that until I know what a new vanity and all that good stuff is going to look.
Enjoy your new place and have fun. You can always paint over if you don't like it in the end
Answer:
Thanks for the advice. WOW your dd room is super cute. i'm not sure where to start
Those Letter by Lea is a start ;-)
Answer:
Ours is a work in progress... except we're not making progress.
Half of our bedroom is done... Miami Spice (like a terracotta) with Pueblo Sand paint in a couple of places for accent.
Livingroom: Wallpaper... it's ivory and textured, and ripped off in a number of places - WOO!
Boys' bedroom: Nothing says "boy" like prairie style beige wallpaper with flowers and pinstriping.
Girls' bedroom: A stunning wallpaper display of multicolored randomness. It looks like a watercolor painting.
The wallpapers were here before we moved in. The only reason we did something with our bedroom was because it used to be pink and white stripes with accents of a gaudy floral. I didn't feel comfortable in my own space, obviously my husband wasn't too fond of it.

I like that -- it fits where we are in remodeling our 100+ year-old house right now! We have done most of the painting, though.
Master bedroom -- light green (Sherwin Williams Fen)
Ian's room -- denim blue
Living room/playroom/stairs -- gold (Sherwin Williams Torchlight)
Dining room -- Burgundy
Quentin's room has paneling on the walls, and we just weren't up to taking that down & getting it re-drywalled like we had to do in the dining & living rooms (plus, we don't really have anywhere else for him to sleep while it's being done). The paneling isn't in good enough shape to paint over, either.
Our kitchen is white now, but will eventually have green walls with the cabinets a darker shade of green -- hopefully we can get to painting that next summer.
We also have lots of nice wood borders/molding which need to be painted too (a creamy white), but I don't know when we'll get to that because of the detail work involved).
We used Sherwin Williams' Harmony line of paints, with low odor/VOCs since I was pregnant for most of the painting.
