Need your help!

Ok, so I'm determined to start painting rooms again. We had a horrible experience with the kitchen and took some time off........but it's time to go again.
First place is the entry/hallway. What color should I use?
Here are some pictures to help you decide. Please don't judge the mess, we're cleaning......(the picture frames for our wedding pictures, and I'm throwing old magazines away.....)


This is the veiw from our living room into the entry.

This is the end of the hallway, towards the entry.

This is the entry into the living room

The kitchen into the entry/hall way.

Our new rug in the living room. Basing our new color scheme off of this. browns, greens, and a sky blue.
