making my house a home

I have lived in 20 different houses in 10 years of marriage and have never decorated one yet.  Until today.  Yippee  I am going to be painting tomorrow.  I am starting small.  I am only doing the foyer but it is a start and it is all mine.  I decided on the colors of peach, a mosssy sage green, and dove grey as a color scheme for the entire house.  The foyer will be peach with grey trim.  I need advice on the front doors.  Because we live in a church I do have double front doors and I do not know what color to paint the inside of them.  My mother always painted everything parchment.  No other color in the house so I do not know what to do about the doors.  Any advice will be appreciated.   Oh and DH is buying me an attachment for my cell phone so I will be able to post pictures.  I am so excited.

Well are they flat doors or are they raised panel? Do they have glass?

I'm not one to ask, my dh is much better with the decorating that I am. I think that comes with being a visionary. He can actually see whatever he is dreaming of, I have to actually see it:) But I would think going with your gray trim color would be safe. It is a nutral color, so if you were to change you mind on the other colors, it might still be safe with what ever else you choose.

Have fun with your decorating!!!
