Screen size will be dictated more by seating distance than room size. How far will you be away from the screen? If you're going the DIY paint route, simply paint the largest possible screen you think you'd want and cut it back until you find the screen size that works best for you.
As for projectors, do you have a preference between DLP and LCD? Do you plan to ceiling mount or shelf mount? If shelf mounting, how far will the projector be from the screen? If ceiling mounting, can you center the projector to the screen? How high are your ceilings? These are all questions you need to answer before people can recommend a specific projector for you.
You don't need to run HDMI to your receiver...just between the projector and the video source (e.g. cable box/DVD player). If you wish, you could also run component video from your video sources...the only real downside is that you won't be able to upconvert from your DVD player. You'll then need to run a digital audio cable (coax or optical) from your video source to your receiver.
