Living Room Inspiration (and a not-so-fun day)

About eight hours ago I was just logging in to my blogger account to do a nice little post on gray, cream and gold and how I'm loving these colors right now and thinking about decorating my living room using that palette. As I was typing in my google password, I was confused to hear what sounded like a babbling brook coming from the basement. What the?? I ran downstairs to discover a veritable waterfall pouring in the basement window. I was home alone and in a frantic state as water gushed (I mean, gushed like a river people!) from the window and in to the laundry room. Long story short, a frozen pipe burst and three rooms had water standing in them along with some lovely muddy sections as well. Thus my day was spent hauling boxes out of the basement, wiping, mopping and cleaning up the mess with my less than pleased husband who raced home like a bat out of hell to help me. Now I'm really ready to forget about the basement and think happy thoughts - like how gorgeous my living room could look with a palette like the ones below once all the wet boxes are cleared away...

Love the art/antler mix along with the pops of citrus colors...

Love the striped walls and dark pulls on the drawers...

I'm smitten with the gold/cream/gray combo but Ike isn't convinced... How do we convince the men folk??

This room is a tad too dressy for my taste, but wow - I still love looking at it. Love that gold mirror and those curtain rods not to mention the long, gorgeous smokey gray panels...

The headboard and rug really get my goat (in a good way). And that velvet-y bolster on the bed adds such a nice bit of color... 

What color combos are you loving right now? I can't seem to shake the gray...
