Carpet is greyish/multi in color. Drapes? Dear god we're not even close to picking that out yet :) We are using white 2 inch wood blinds. Drapes may be a decorative valence only. acountryfarm has the almost exact color we're getting in our hallways and downstairs bathroom. For the living room, as it stands right now we like "Harvester" from Sherwin williams (SW6373). We've got about 2-3 weeks to make up our minds. All the other rooms were easy, the main living room has been tough to nail down. Has to be warm/soft hue, good contrast to the leather, not too dark. We're thinking yellowish or greenish tint. No browns, beige, red, or blue. My wife has been scanning magazines for the pervebial "that's it" but we haven't found it yet. Here is a link that might be useful: Harvester color

We just repainted our bedroom BM Tranquility with a BM Frostine ceiling. Our bedroom has 4 large windows, two facing west and two facing south, in an extremely hot climate. This a picture I found on the interwebs, but it does not do Tranquility justice, it is about the most beautiful color i have ever used, I smile every time I look at the bedroom. It is much more blue and a lot less green in our space, similar to the old RH Silver Sage, but bluer, I really love it, and will try to post a picture. http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/oo143/nickliss/Greens/Golds/Blues/BMTranquility.jpg Here is a link that might be useful:

I like the idea of the TV being on the wall opposite the window and the couch up against the window, but I wonder if it will be a problem since that is sort of a hallway area. I guess the other problem I would run into is where to put the cable box etc. I will do a little mock up of it today or do a computer drawing to see how it will all look. Painting the trim around the window can be done, I will have to fight with DH, since he loves it and says that it mirrors the window trim in the kitchen. @loribee and @oceanna I have taken a look at the gallery. Lots of great ideas with colors etc. I just keep thinking 'if only I had an extra 2 feet of living room space . . . ' Of course that would be too easy :-) @loribee, I was able to open the link that you sent me and something along those lines is what I was thinking for the chair. I prefer the ones with arms, though so I was thinking something small like that one, with open arms like the one in @chickadee2's link. I also like these chairs quite a lot. I have also toyed with @luckygal's idea of moving the living room to the office. The office is 9'x11'. I agree with the idea of at the very least painting the trim. I have seen some pics of it done, and it looks great. I was scared about doing it, but now I think I will. I also like the idea of a creamy color that was suggested for the walls and trim. If I work up the courage, I will remove the trim all together. Thanks again for all the wonderful thoughtful suggestions.

We have a chair in the corner of the living room that only gets used very occasionally, so I didn't want to spent a lot, and I wanted something kind of fun. I ended up finding this chair at Target for, I think, $59.99. The fabric has the exact right colors for our living room. We have a couple of ottomans that can be used in a pinch, too.
