...a skill I LACK, I need HELP!
We're going to (finally) redo our bedroom this Spring. On the To Do List:
1. Rip out the old, ugly green carpet. (I can't wait!)
2. Paint
3. Put in new flooring, probably carpet, but MAYBE hardwood, depending on the final budget Jeff gives me.
4. Buy new bedding and curtains
5. Jeff is building this entertainment armoire for our TV/Media -

--He'll probably stain it with a dark stain, but I'm not opposed to painting it--which would require me to choose a color.
6. Pick up a couple of bedside tables and lamps, and
7. Replace the existing ceiling fan/light fixture combo with something like this:
I know what kind of furniture I like--dark woods, simple lines, I'm not all that frou-frou. What I have a MAJOR problem with is picking colors.
Can you post ideas with pictures for combinations of curtains, wall color and bedding? Please, please, please?????? I'm totally stumped, and I've walked out of Lowe's multiple times without paint because I can't decide.
What I don't like:
Orange, purple or pink, or anything that looks tropical/jungle/safari. My husband doesn't want anything that looks too feminine, but he's left it all up to me, other than that.
I don't want to paint the walls white. (They're already a cream color.) I've gone with white everything (walls, curtains, bedding) in the past because I couldn't decide on colors. All white linens have some charm, but I don't want to cop out again just because I can't decide.
The trim and doors are dark cherry. If we do carpet, I'll probably go with something textured like this:

I've been wanting to take this project on ever since we moved in, and now that I can it's STRESSING ME OUT because I am abysmally bad at color choices.
