house to home : painting

i've been thinking a lot about our palette in the house, and have a few areas i still want to change or that we never painted when we moved in.   our house is a 1920's house with beautiful pine floors, and white molding, open and airy.

on the first floor, we painted our living room, and stairwell to second floor hallway in this beautiful Martha Stewart Sea Anemone.
our dining room is Martha Stewart Spring Melt.

we just committed to Martha Stewart Heavy Goose for our beautiful kitchen remodel...
let's talk upstairs!
now that our closets are finally getting in, we have to paint the interiors. 
our master bedroom isn't that big of a decision, as we are sticking with the same original color we used when we moved in, Martha Stewart Whetstone Grey.
the study and maku's room are both this beautiful Martha Stewart Smoke Bush Rose.
now that i am fully in love with both of these room colors upstairs, i started looking for complimentary colors.  i found this palette and fell in love.  we tried gloaming in the master but felt it was too pink, but i am still wondering how it may work for the hallway?
ultimately, Gloaming is too pink and Orchid is too purple for my tastes but i have always gravitated towards the Magnolia Grandflora.  we decided to use that for our guest room.
but here is the color i am absolutely in love with from the palette...Peony.
i am thinking of using this in the bathroom, paired with the white beadboard and a black high gloss bathtub, i think will be perfect.

so basically light blues downstairs and pink tones upstairs...i love it.
