To redecorate or not??

So... I have been thinking a lot lately about totally changing the color scheme in our home. While I LOVE LOVE LOVE the colors brown, beige, black, and gold, I feel I need a fresh start to 2010. And what better way to do that than to add some COLOR! The only problem...I love the "theme" of our home, and I'm afraid that no other colors besides the ones I mentioned above will "fit."

So, in turn, NEED opinions about some color in my life!

I think I'll start with the kid's bathroom, it's small, easy and cheap!

Even though I absolutely love the colors in my apartment I seriously have been reading to many DIY and Decorating Blogs and have gotten the itch my self. Although I have never been in your home sounde like you have tons of nuetrals which is a great base to add colors to! Depending on the amount of gold you can easily add blue or green .. any natural looking shade... I don't know how adventurous you are feeling but a really warm orange or rust color is always nice and might compliment the gold well ... too orange can be halloweeny though. Have you tried maybe some throw pillows or area rug to add a splash of color.. it's a nice transition if you are still unsure. I always just go down to Home Depot or something and pick up a bunch of paint color cards and bring home and make a game of getting the best combo. Good Luck and when you do paint I think I can speak for everyone when I say PICTURES PLEASE !!!!

Thanks! I was thinking green, but blue might be a nice change :) I'm not going to repaint, to much of a hassle (I have a dark gold brown on my walls which I would have to primer first & we're renting) anyways. I will for sure post pictures whenI am done with the kids' bathroom :)

We LOVE green! It's our favorite accent color over here. :) Sarah, you're totally right... stick with natural/nature colors to compliment what you have. Cause hot pink would just not work. :)
