And here is the finished product! I really like the color...I got it from the clearance paint area for $10 and it came out more taupe than I had anticipated but I like it a lot.

And here is the living room. I took this picture in a hurry so I didn't clean up stuff first. The entire room used to be the color of the wall by the closet. It wasn't terrible but it had too much orange or yellow in it for me. I also went on a Target shopping spree this week. I got a bunch of stuff on clearance, like these black picture frames (whole set $10), a new clock that Max chose ($8), and a small end table with two lamps ($20!).
