Free handy guide on leather paint restoration

I highly recommend leather paint restoration. I think it was the best investment I did.

I had my apartment painted recently and chose the wrong color for the living room. I need help!?
I used all Benjamin Moore paints from their traditional collection for my apartment. All the ceilings and trim are Windham cream and the hallway is bryant gold and it leads into the living room which I had painted providence olive. There are two problems with the providence olive: one, it’s a little too dark. I would prefer something much lighter to give the room a little more brightness, especially since I have a big window in there. I’d like it to be a sunnier room, so to speak. The leather paint restoration second issue is that the couch I purchased for the apartment is a Pottery Barn Buchanan couch in pewter which almost disappears into the providence olive. The colors are too close. So here is my challenge – I’d like to stick with Benjamin Moore paints. The carpet in the living room is a Tibetan rug in flax from Restoration Hardware – here is a link:http://www.restorationhardware.com/catalog/product/product.jsp?productId=prod1342041&categoryId=cat1519018The couch, again, is a Buchanan couch in pewter (which is kind of a grayish green). They don’t list that fabric anymore at Pottery Barn. The arm chair is in an Espresso, same – it’s a Buchanan from Pottery Barn. The coffee table is stained in dark espresso, also from Pottery Barn. And I have a brown leather traditional armchair from Crate and Barrel. The flooring is a regular wood floor and the ceiling fan and both lamps in the room are a dark bronze finish. Should you need more detail, let me know. I’d just like a brighter color that can tie the whole room together with the rug and furniture and still be a good transition from the Bryant Gold in the hallway. All feedback is appreciated, thanks!
