Finally?

So after the paint sat around for almost two months I finally painted the guest bedroom.  I'm not quite sure why I put it off for so long, I really enjoyed my time in the guest bedroom with my paintbrush/roller.  Now... I wish it would've been a little bit cooler in there, but that is another story.  I did three of the four walls one night and still need to finish the fourth.  Reason being is that I had to have space to move around which meant the dresser/bed be against one of the four walls.  
**After I realized that there were no squirrels in our attic things went pretty quickly.  (I heard something above me and I ran into the LR to get T to go upstairs to investigate the possible invasion (yes, I said invasion - maybe I've been watching too much Terra Nova?) of squirrels.  He went up with a spot light and yelled down "Monica, it's just acorns" ....oops.  Oh well.  The reason why I am so paranoid is that some of our friends recently found out that squirrels were getting into their attic and of course now I think anytime I see a squirrel on the roof and think they are plotting a way to get into our attic to stay warm and make squirrel babies all winter long)
Here is the sample of the color from Home Depot's website, omg, it looks beige on here.  What have I done? I swear it looked more pinkish next to our other samples :(
After seeing the picture here.... I feel a tad bit better.
We will see what it looks like with another comforter that I haven't put in the room yet and curtains are on order.  Eventually I hope to find a mid century peg leg style dresser that I have been craving for a while now.... just trying to find one for the right price (hopefully).  I'm on the fence about the color, eeek, especially because when I looked at the sample I saw it more pinky/grey and now its more orangey/beige (I hate beige - probably because my dad has every room in his house a shade of beige - ugh - boring).  What do y'all think?  Unfortunately I didn't paint last night to finish the last wall, wasn't feeling 100% so instead I lounged and went to bed of at 9ish, lol.  I'm hoping that after I paint the dresser a fun pop of color and get some artwork hung that it would appear more neutral? (a girl can hope, right?)  T seems to think it's fine... of course this is usually his response to almost everything as long as he doesn't have to do anything :) (<3 u honey!)
