Hello Ann, DO NOT paint the timber... well not all of it at least. That way it looks terrible and looses the thing we love about pine walls and homes. I think your best bet is to pull out all the blue and green crockery and glass you have and display it everywhere and only use blue and green tea towels and table clothes. That way it breaks and balance the gold look of the spaces. It is lovely and needs to be enhanced not painted out. Cheers Margot
Absolutely paint it! You could do white walls and ceilings and a colour on the kitchen cabinets as Kate suggested and it will look Soooo much better. Will still have lots of character but lighter and brighter and much more updated.
