1. since it is white and distressed any color will go--usually people decorate with pale or pastels--but be different--deeper greens, blues, golds, purple plus lighter colors. On better homes and gardens website they have a section that you can decorate (room makeovers) they have pre-selected rooms, but you can choose the colors of walls, trims etc and i think even curtains on some. It could give you ideas at least.
2. i think that's the good thing about white and black, they go with pretty much everything. what i would do is go and get some color swatches, and put them up next to the furniture and see which ones you like. you could do a cream colored wall, with neutral green curtains. those are always tasteful. it really just depends on your tastes. do you want something simple and elegant? or something bright and cheery? i really think with white furniture, you could do anything you wanted. http://www.bedroom-designs-and-decorations.com/aarch0906/decoratingamasterbedroom.html
3. Personally, I like dark jewel-tones for my bedroom BUT when I think of distressed white furniture, I immediately think of a beach house--breezy and cottage-like. I would use shades of blues, greens, creams for this room. For example, a pale shade of blue for the walls, a shade of dark ecru for the beddings, white 'gauze-like' curtains, several blue and green throw pillows.
4. Hardwood floor, white furniture---I think blues, possibly shading into green, would go very nicely, give it a cottage look but could still look modern. Use lemon yellow,or strong green, or even some purple for accents in fabrics and accessories. Go to a paint store and pick up a bunch of their colour chips, take'em home and see what you like.
5. I would use a sage green or a periwinkle blue.
6. I think a blue - like sherwin williams' "candid blue" - with the distressed white furniture would look very cottage-y. Check it out on bedroom #3: http://sherlink.sherwin.com/swapp/color_visualizer/index.jsp Blue & white or coral & white gingham curtains & bedding or a quilt set would enhance the shabby chic/cottage style. http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Antique-Rose-Cotton-Quilt-Set/1720379/product.html http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Handcrafted-Blue-Star-Quilt-Folk-Art-Museum/2541811/product.html http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Meadow-Fields-10-piece-Bedding-Ensemble/2542675/product.html http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Dansworth-84-inch-Pole-Top-Curtain-Panel-Pair/2170279/product.html http://www.kohls.com/upgrade/webstore/product_page.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524881372767
