Paint Palpitations!

So here goes:

This is my living room in August 2007:

It desperately needs a makeover and at that time I was moving the furniture around to get an idea of placement for new furniture. It also needs to be painted so I started putting paint swatches on the walls. The feature of the room is the picture window with the cherry stained trim. The paint color needs to actually like the cherry stained trim. That's the dilemma.

This was last August so I can't even remember what color the paint swatches are:

Well I couldn't make a decision so I turned to working on the porch. Then in the winter, I painted the master bedroom.

Here I am almost a year later, July 2008:

Under the two paint colors above is Benjamin Moore Atrium White which I thought maybe I would go with but my painter said, "No, no white."

Here's another photo of my trim and some of the wood furniture:

So if anyone has any ideas about where I should go with this, it would be greatly appreciated by all of my family members!
