Bringing our DR into this century!

Robert & Kathy (friends of Brad's parents) were so sweet to give us a $25 gift card to Lowe's as a housewarming gift. We decided to try to use only that to update our dining room walls. Yesterday I removed the base boards, old chair rail & PANELING! It was giving off that sweet 70's vibe! I patched the sheetrock, sanded it smooth & applied several coats of primer.

We are hopeful that our gift card & 10% off coupon will cover the 20 ft. of chair rail moulding needed. We salvaged 4 1/2" base boards from the living room demo last month. We will have plenty for the dining room.

The paint above the chair rail is white with a hint of blue. The chair rail & base boards will be a creamy white. Our curtains are a light khaki and rug is black & cream striped.

Staying budget minded, I pulled a few cans of paint from the garage & need help picking a paint color to go below the chair rail! The colors from left to right are: 1. Mindful Grey, 2. Ramie, 3. Accessible Beige. I also included a pic of the rug, curtain fabric & our not so cute tile floor! I'll post before & after pics when finished! Which color would you pick?
