Our living room at the moment was painted by my s-i-l who loved maroon. It is course dark for the room and I am planning on painting it a flimsy green and beige. My question is, does anyone enjoy a site that they know of that gives me an idea of designs, i.e. fictitious wainescot, stripes, designs or what have ya!

Answers:    Here are some resources - you could totally pull this off and gross it look spectacular. You may even want to try mixing a quart of clear glaze (behr makes a worthy one) to each gallon of the darker paint, simply to help highlight the contrast and breed it pop! Just remember, before you get started, to paint a stratum of primer over that dark red or you will have to paint similar to 5-6 coats of paint to cover it..not fun. :)
