I think a sage green would be nice, and I would do all the walls. I think that room is too small to chop it up with accent colors. I would tie in your burgundy with accent pillows, lamps, ect. Bring in some of the dark denim too.

Maybe even a little deeper. All these colors sure bring out the tan in that sofa! Paint the lamp a dark denim too.

NEW QUESTION: Which is a better thing to get; blinds or tinting? The windows in question are the two top windows in the 2 story family room. Way up high. The windows face west--so get tons a sun. The second picture doesn't show the two windows I am talking about, but you can see that they are high up...cuz the windows are above where the photo cuts off...

Blinds in my opinion, you never know when you'll want the sun to shine through, if you tint them you will lose the ability to choose sun or no sun.

That's what I was thinkin', but the downside is how would I be able to open and close the blinds? With a ladder? I think they have remote control shades, but how $$$?

Off-topic, but I just wanted to say that is a creative use of PhotoShop Julie!

Julie, it looks like the you have only curtains up there now, right? More of a decorative look? So, are you looking for something that can block out some of the light?? I think it looks good now

LOL!!! I just went back when this thread began and it should be called "Decorating with Julieboo". I applaud you for having all the time to do this with a baby.

Thanks all!! Oh, Crz, the tinting/blinds are not for decoration, they are for sure to help block the immense light from the west sun--especially in the summer. Also to help not bleach out my furniture, pictures, etc.

That's what I figured when you mentioned west sun....I'm in the Seattle area and luckily my living room faces west and the family room east..I'm never in the living room....I would maybe look at those accordian type shades that can pull open from the bottom and top...you can get them in different densities...during the hot months just keep them closed....light would still come through them...let me see if I can find a web site

My mom got tinting for most of the windows in her house. She loves it.
