A view of the living room taken from the adjoining dining room.

Our color scheme all started with this room. We determined the living room color first (by matching it with a color we'd seen in a decorator's showroom) -- it's a camel/goldenrod kind of color.

I read somewhere that the living room should be done in "warm colors" like reds, yellows, and oranges -- in all shades and hues.

Our entire downstars color scheme is done in earthy, bright neutrals (mustards & shades of yellow, with various shades of green including sage, and "pops" of oranges, purples, and reds).

Overall, our colors resemble the colors of Fall -- rustic, spicy hues.
