I am horrible at decorating. I can copy from a magazine and take direction but I can't figure it out on my own. Soooo ... I need help.
We are closing on our first house in 8 days and moving in on the 24th. I'll be doing some minor work the week inbetween.
The house has been fairly remodeled as far as kitchen/baths go. It also has new carpet and new hardwood floors. I have a few decorating challenges that we will face over the next few years.
FIRST .. the living room is BLUE. New Blue carpet and blue walls. I can't do anything about the blue carpet for now, eventually we will replace it and maybe put the carpet that is there in one of the bedrooms upstairs since it's fairly new and in great condition. However, I can't live in a BLUE living room, I want to paint the walls something more neutral and try to tone down the carpet.
Any suggestions?

I don't know if can tell the color blue from this picture but it's pretty basically blue. This picture is taken from the front door so shows most of the room. Their are two front windows on the right. Any suggestions? We don't have a ton of furniture now so that we will add over the next few months.
