Home Building: Paint Finishes

Well, I'm having trouble uploading pictures at the moment, so I'll just do that later I guess. For those who don't know, we are building a house. We've just had the sheetrock hung, taped and mudded. We were getting ready to do texture when it was pointed out to us that the sheetrockers did such a great job that we really don't need to texture if we didn't want to. Not to mention that my hubby did an amazing job of applying the drywall primer. Many faux finishes and painting techniques call for flat walls, and so we have decided to forgo the texture. I think it'll look great! And it gives us so many options. Plus we can add texture later if we want. If any of you have any great ideas, or websites, I'd love to hear them. You can check some of my past links to get ideas of what our rooms look like. My girls have talked about doing their room in black and white, but I don't want the room to look too small because of the black. We love neutral, earth tones, from tan to brown to greens to deep reds. But I'm open to suggestions. My job will be to prime the walls and start painting while hubby begins hanging the boards for the soffit (which will look awesome). We had friends up yesterday who helped stain a ton of boards.
