Paint a picture on a wall - mural?
Answers:    one gallon per room should be satisfactory.

I assume you don't want white, since that's probably what it is now. I would use something similar to "whispering peach" by Behr within the living room & kitchen, "tropical breeze"for the bathroom, "glazed pecan" and "chenille" for the bedrooms. All of these colors were chosen from Behr's color coordinator so they'll categorically match and they're adjectives light & bright.

What color to paint my bedroom?
Probably almost 4 gallons-check into pearl or such on sheen-it looks flat but can be cleaned easier. Don't know your colors but HGTV.com has a great site you can refer to for that and philosophy. Think about an elocution wall or two-you might really like that. Behind your bed, leading wall of l/r etc. Also a fun brighter color in kitchen-but surrounded by the same own flesh and blood as accents or main-
