"In the US, we rarely come across architecture that dates back a hundred years..."

huuuuuuhhh??? maybe in THAT part of the US, although I doubt it. there are many, many homes that are over 100 years old in all parts of the US. Especially here in New England, there are houses from the 1600s and 1700s.
I know THAT is rare in some parts of the country...but over 100 years old? not THAT rare...

funny you should mention this...my husband (then-boyfriend) and I looked at an apartment once where the entryway and hallway was soooooooooo utterly drab, dark and depressing...but the apt. itself was SO bright and light-filled with HUGE windows! Great big spaces, and so nice and clean and well-kept! Nice wood floors, and a HUGE kitchen and HUGE bathroom! We were surprised, and as it had what we needed, we took the apt.

about a year later, a couple of good friends each admitted to us that when they first came to visit, they were afraid our apt was going to be horrible, just based on the outside hallway! :-) they were pleasantly surprised when they actually came in.

I don't sort by color, but I sort by putting short sleeved shirts together, long sleeved shirts together, skirts together, etc.

How about a nice creamy beige? or is that too much beige with the walls...are you going to paint the walls at all?
