Help me decorate our Master Bedroom and Master Bath?

My husband likes blues and I like browns. Our options would be a shade of blue walls and a shade of brown comforter on the bed or a shade of brown walls and a shade of blue comforter on the bed. The furniture in the room is all oak and is all antique and we have a beige carpet that will go with anything. Also, what color would you paint the bathroom?

1. I would go with a robin's egg blue or light turquoise on the wall and chocolate brown bedding. Blue is a very soothing color and would be perfect for the bedroom. Check out this site to see how the colors work together: http://restyledhome.blogspot.com/2008/03/robins-egg-blue.html I like white for the bathroom because it is so clean looking, but you could easily carry over the blues and browns into the bathroom as well.
2. If it were me I would do all blue walls with one brown accent wall. I would do a solid brown or blue comforter and then accent with brown and blue mixed pillows in different shapes and patterns. I would paint the bathroom dark if you want it cozy and lighter blue if you want it to be light and open.
3. If they are attached I would probably go with the same color.
4. I think a pale aquamarine color for the walls would be best. Bedding and window treatments could be a medium-dark brown. Accent colors (used in small doses) could be very dark espresso brown and bright turquoise. You could even incorporate some dark brown faux-leather into the room: upholstery, cushions, lampshades. There are some great faux-leather window panels on the market. I would use the same color paint in the bathroom.
5. Well you have great ideas for your master bedroom, i would definatly go with the blue walls and brown comforter, it will go great with your antique furniture. as for the bathroom i personally love bottem half a variety of brown/greyish tiles and then a tan or brown or beige color on the upper half. good luck, and have fun re-decorating
6. I'd do mocha or very light brown in the bedroom and the blue from your bedding in the bathroom. Here is some bedding that might work for both of you: http://www.ajmoss.com/lichtenberg/enchantment-lichtenberg/ http://www.ajmoss.com/ajmoss/italia-bedding/ http://www5.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6E.aspx?DeptID=59474&CatID=59514&GrpTyp=ENS&ItemID=1531c7e&attrtype=&attrvalue=&CMID=59483&Fltr=&Srt=&QL=F&IND=1&CmCatId=59483|59514 http://www5.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6E.aspx?DeptID=59474&CatID=59514&GrpTyp=ENS&ItemID=15675f1&attrtype=&attrvalue=&CMID=59483&Fltr=&Srt=&QL=F&IND=8&CmCatId=59483|59514 http://www5.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6E.aspx?DeptID=59474&CatID=59514&GrpTyp=ENS&ItemID=154ae0b&attrtype=&attrvalue=&CMID=59483|59514&Fltr=&Srt=&QL=F&IND=25&CmCatId=59483|59514 http://www5.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6E.aspx?DeptID=59474&CatID=59514&GrpTyp=ENS&ItemID=156751d&attrtype=&attrvalue=&CMID=59483|59514&Fltr=&Srt=&QL=F&IND=49&CmCatId=59483|59514 http://www5.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6E.aspx?DeptID=59474&CatID=59514&GrpTyp=ENS&ItemID=15675bd&attrtype=&attrvalue=&CMID=59483|59514&Fltr=&Srt=&QL=F&IND=52&CmCatId=59483|59514
