| Answer:
I think that a golden yellow would work well for the accent color and accessories that have all of the previous colors metioned along with red. Use a patterned fabric incorporating all of these colors as well. Add plain colored toss pillows along with a couple in the same fabric from the woindow treatment or some in a coordinating fabric. Toss a throw over the chair, this makes the room more welcoming and makes your family and friends feel that they will be able to relax and enjoy themselves. |

| Answer:
Red would look so impressive. Example: Red hue color for pillows to use on sofa. A red vase with natural wooden sticks, red coasters, prints with a touch of red in it. You would be amazed how sharp this color red is with the warm brown family. Let me know if you decide to go for it. |

Burgandy's work well with khaki colors and hardwood floors. I have a friend that just re-done her great room; she had carpeting in there before; put hardwood floors in; medium chocolate brown leather sofa, loveseat, and recliner, and bought a Tiffany floor lamp that has the colors of her couch, and burgandy's and tans, and her 5'x 8' throw rug has khaki, burgandy, black, and brown. It's absolutely gorgeous; warm and comfortable. She did in the Old World decor, and it turned out beautiful. |

| Answer:
We needed kid friendly furniture, so instead of getting a white slip cover couch like I had hoped, we thought it would be best to get a light brown couch. But now I have no idea how to match anything to it. We live on a military base, so we can not do anything too dramatic or irreversable to the house. Any suggestions? |
