I just painted the living room a light, almost robin's egg blue (Ben Moore's Mystical Blue) I left the trim white The floors are medium-to-light brown wood Also in the room there is a brown hutch (which may be refinished-the color goes but it's used) and a green and brown armoire-type cabinet (and the green no longer works, that will be painted I'm sure) The sofa in front of the window is dark blue, but that's not an issue, as that can be changed The light blue walls work well, but I feel I need a color shot in there There is a fireplace that has some dark brick, and a picture that I'd like to keep over that, that has burgundy in the matte I feel I need a color shot in there I want to do big deep burgundy curtains It'll match the matte, and a lot of the bricks (all are a close match to Ben Moore's New London Burgundy) She thinks I'm nutz lol Any input would be great on if this idea is Bold, Brilliant, and Beautiful or just Blech? Thanks in advance

I was wondering if their are any rules/guide lines regarding the length of drapes on a wide, narrow window that starts about 4 feet from the floor. I have panels from a previous house that I would like to use, they are floor length. Am I committing a decorating sin by doing this? What other blinds etc. should I use? Thanks for any ideas!
