Often it looks very streaky if you don't put enough coats on and it takes a LOT of coats. Have you thought about gold colors? You get a lot of the warmth, with it still being fairly light.

I'm also happy to see a fellow Atlantan is doing Fun Monday. I actually love the red (red is my favorite color). My living room has dark hardwood floors, I have chocolate leather furniture and my accents are all red. I'm a renter so I can't paint my walls, but everyone who has seen my brown and red combo says they love it and that it feels very warm and cozy. (I have pictures in my archives sometime in July if you want to check it out.) Like Keith mentioned though, I have friends with red walls and they said it was a pain to get it to look right. Thanks again for stopping by. I'll be back! Hey Dallas,

But painting the whole room like that might give you the impression that the room becomes smaller though. Maybe combine the red with some yellows or orange colours? My living room is completely white awaiting redecoration. We have decided to go for beige/cream walls with one wall red. We don't have much light coming in so we need to have some bright walls, making the red wall stick out and giving some personality to the room. The fabrics you have are wonderful :) I love the red colour! But painting the whole room like that might give you the impression that the room becomes smaller though.
