By the way (I can't seem to shut up about this great room), this color scheme begs for a theatrical retro look. Please see the movie Ghost World (it's not about ghosts) for some amazing casual deco...
Just read a comment above -- it is definitely possible to avoid a Christmas look, even if that floor is forest green (to me it looks teal).
Use some lighter tints of the blue-green co...
You already have gorgeous blue (or teal?) floors and a red desk, so those are your two colors. They are trendy and can definitely be worked with.
Use your money to buy things that coo...

Breezy, light, thin, tall, loose, dramatic curtains, kept pulled open to draw attention to those beautiful windows.
Sheer, brightly colored or gauzy white on big rings. No cotton. Not...
Agreed Kalakala. I was just about to say that spice racks are never designed for serious cooks. I have 200 spices, not 24.
Currently we have a whole piece of furniture with three deep ...
Wish I could tell what they say -- maybe it's my monitor size or maybe it's my bad eyesight but I can barely read them.
As for "filler" posts -- this doesn't bother me. What bothers me...
Hey thanks for all the nice comments, everyone!
Most items in my home are handmade by me (the curtains,the lamp, the monkey, the painting on the chest), handmade by my father-in-law (m...
