Earth-tones in the right amount is fine. Earth-tones in everything can be boring, IMO.

I agree with the tapestry idea. I wanted to do something like that for my apartment, but couldn't find a quality one cheap enough.

What color is the rest of the room? White, like what's over the door in the left corner?

The buttery yellow may be nice, but maybe not enough contrast to the white. A sage green, rose red (not too maroon), terra cotta orange or really any color that you like that offers an inviting accent wall. I'd suggest that you not paint the brick in front of the fireplace, at least at first.

There's a show on A&E called "Sell this House" (usually on weekends, I think) where the two hosts help stage a home that has been on the market a while in order to sell it faster. They do a lot of accent wall painting to bring out architectural features or hide unwanted features. Just a suggestion for color options, they've used colors I wouldn't dare use, but it works. (Like a bright orange-red or milk chocolate brown)

I don't know about painting it, I like it. But I like the sage green or yoo hoo brown ideas if you do.

Dude, the red of your pillow would look sweet on that wall.

That was my first instinct. But this is a small den type space - and I spend most of my time in here - so I'm afraid that it will be overpowering.

I do plan on going with a really bold color for my living room whenever I get to it though.

If it's only one wall I think it'll work.

I think I am going to try using photoshop to see how it will look.

Post results, plz.
