Painting! (and other random house stuff)

Our home inspection was fine, and we got the Radon test results back today, and they were fine, too. So, the only thing we have left to do is review the HOA documents, they're the last contingency in our contract. We've been approved for our mortgage, our check for earnest money was cashed today (holy crap, was that painful), and we signed a ton

I'd have to see a photo, but is there a way to make the separation between rooms more distinct? Perhaps you can hang a curtain between the living room and dining room?

Alternately, or even in addition, you could choose *not* to have a neutral dining area. I wish I could remember the "rules" for what colors to paint to encourage enjoyment of food, or whatever, but something like a sky blue would both compliment and contrast with the burgundy and the sage (or jade), and distract from the Christmas-y-ness. IMO, anyway.

Could you add accents to one of the rooms, maybe something with a feather or a sponge on the paint? That way it wouldn't be two rooms of solid colored walls.

My friend has a dark green living room and a red kitchen, and it actually looks very good- very Victorian colored.
