the mint was nauseating me (no offense if you have mint in your house, but it just did not go with the other greens in ours). so we painted the burgundy wall green to match the rest of the entry-way below chair-rail.

as you walk in the door you can now see, yellow above chair-rail, sweet anne green below, georgian leather kitchen, red dining room, and way back light blue mud-room. let it not be said that we do not like color...
the next question is what do we paint the living room (right now it is just primed and really needs a coat of paint)?
in general, i'm not a huge fan of neutral-colored walls, but maybe if it was the right shade. we have a red dining room and a lot of red accents (chairs, rugs) and brown couch. i really like crocodile tears green, which is a much lighter shade of what is in the entry way, but a similar tone. is that too much green? it is my favorite wall color... should there be an accent wall? should we paint the not-working fireplace a different color? nicole thinks the green would work and maybe paint the fireplace georgian leather? we are thankful for any advice you super decorators might have...

love the orange - especially with the green
I like the idea of the green, but I also like neutral colors, so I might would like a neutral in the middle of all the other colors. But, I LOVE the orange and green changes. Can't wait to see it.
Ellen, we're getting ready to buy a new house and plan to paint the walls before we move in. I love the orange and green you chose. You mentioned their names in your post, but what brand of paint are they? Many thanks!
