  1. I watch everything on HGTV, but I do not understand how to pick color for a good flow from one room to the next. I have a question not a comment; I have picked a color called cloth for my ceiling & beams & mantel in my livingroom. I picked a color called wicker for the walls in the livingroom and 3 walls in the dining & for the last wall in the dining I picked coffee bean & for the kitchen I chose Pebble. I want to purchase a red pasley chair to go in my living room I have to have this chair it is comfortable & gorgeous. What do you think? All colors are from the Eddie Bauer line. Please help & let me know if these are good choices.
