I want to add more color to my hallways, kitchen, living room, etc., but the problem is that i would like to avoid the color brown. The reason is cabinets in the kitchen, couches, dining tables are all brown or tan based, but I do have white tiles floors throughout the home that include brown 1/4 grout spacers. So, ideally i would like to use some green, purple, blue, pretty much any light color to make my house seem bigger.

How about a pale blue, like "Swimming" by Sherwin Williams? It's a lovely bright blue that would look fantastic with all of your wood. Brown & blue is a really hot color combo right now. Check it out:

If you have any trim or need to paint the ceiling, "extra white" will add to the brightness factor. A bright area rug will help, too:

I also think some lime colored artwork would look really smashing against that blue wall color. I like “an orchid 1941” or “Peacock Be-bop II”:

I am building a new home and want to make smart Green choices. I would love to go all the way but some green products are pricy! I am a first time home buyer and have a limited budget. We upgraded to double paned windows and more insulation. I can't make anymore construction upgrades because it has been started but it is time to pick out furniture/appliances/flooring. What are good choices to make? What is the most imapctful??

I found a website that will give you a lot of help picking out good environmental choices: http://www.greenhome.com/products/furnit ure/

Thanks for thinking of others and being planet friendly!

I need to decorate my Pueblo style home. I'm looking for all Southwest colors furniture and rustic and Mexico items also. Each of my bedrooms is a different color. Also looking for colorful bedding, wall hangings, talavera items....etc. If you have any ideas please let me know. I have a beautiful Pueblo style home that needs to be furnished. Thank you!!

There used to be an Arte de Mexico in Pasadena on Colorado, but I think it has moved to Burbank. They have beautiful items imported from Mexico and handmade accessories by Mexican artisans. (Even hand carved huge entry doors) That would be your best bet to complete your decor.
