living room before/after

My house has an interesting (read:quirky) living room slash dining room slash parlor combo. It's like 2 little living rooms seperated by pocket doors. Now I love,love, love these pocket doors (one of the reasons why I bought the house) but they present somewhat of a decorating challenge. Do I treat the rooms as individuals? Different decor, furniture, uses? Or as one continuous room that just happens to have a door in the middle? Here is a before...notice the lovely border...it was actually fuzzy, I think they call this "flocked", right? Also, the color of the trim...is it brown? Tan? Peach? Crap?
During....

And After....
In the end, I love this color, it is exactly what I imagined, and I decided to paint the "front room" the same color so that there is continuity between them.
