Recently, I've had the brilliant idea to paint my living room blue. It would be a medium slate blue color and the moulding would remain brown. In my head the room would look kind of Pottery Barn modern. I'm not sure if it would look that way in reality.
The decorations to go with my trendy new look would be black and white family photos in various frames with white mats, and a large black and white acrylic painting on the opposing wall. I'm also planning on getting some silver accent pieces. Sheldon and I have picked out a new entertainment center from IKEA, which is white.
Here are some photoshopped pictures of my living room with the blue color. The Christmas decorations change the feel a bit, but just try to imagine it in your head if you've been in my living room.
So, please, comment away. I'm not sure that your comments will change my mind, but I'd still like to hear them. Kind of like the red hair idea. :)

I like the look, but I'd go with a little lighter shade of blue.
OR, eggshell. That would be beautiful too, and I know where you can get some, cheap!
Who did your shoddy photoshop job??
(hehe, it was me!)
I'm with Linds, go with something lighter... like that swatch we just looked at. I've got the pic saved at home, maybe I can photoshop that.
I was thinking along the same lines, blue but not quite that turquoise-y. And it won't have wood grain when you finish so that will be helpful. :)
Thanks for all your comments! I think I will go a lighter shade of blue. The color I finally decided on is a super-light greyish blue. I think it will turn out nicely.
HAve you done it yet? be sure to prime the wood panelling or you might have to use several coats!
I like the dark blue, personally. I am of the opinion that if you are going with a color you should GO WITH A COLOR! Not a pale imitation!
THe room mainly needs more LIGHT! then any shade will be fine (besides the brown!)
