Living Room Inspiration

So I have had big plans for my living room for a while.

Plans I have not acted on because I've not had a catalyst for change. I mean, who doesn't like a very a traditional living room?

Are you saying you don't like split pea soup green for my wall color?

While Brian really likes the heavy and the dark, I am not as much of a fan.

Here's my original plan for my living room:

Which is safe and neutral and palettes that I love and can live with.

I love that turqouise combination with the split pea green - wood tones, cream, navy, and dark green. Let's face it, I love turqouise just about anywhere. And it would go with my curtains that I am preparing to make for my piano room!

Choices, choices. I think I will at the very least, brighten it a bit with a more neutral and lighter shade of split pea green.

Then I saw this fun clock wall at Pottery Barn that I'd like to put somewhere in my house. I just love all the B&W prints next to the silver and the different mats:
I had to warn the sales associate that I was taking a picture of the display and not a weirdo trying to take a picture of him specifically.

So - I am at a distinct fork in the road. To the right - is the safe neutral blues/greys/purple that I love. AND then there's the left - the crazy-

But no matter which road I take, I'm pretty sure that rug is not going to make it with me.
