1. i would say a dark brown, but here are a few web sits chicago.citysearch.com www.abouhome.howstuffworks.com/ window-treatment-ideas.htm/printable tdecorating.net www.victorianstation.com/inter.htm
2. something darker would be perfect for a living room, but a bit aggressive a bedroom which is a place to rest and lay off some stress. i recommend beige and soft tones. Good Luck
3. Try using Sherwin Williams Color Visualizer. It's used to help people select paint; however, you can also use it in reverse. It shows the coordinating colors. I searched for Burgundy on their site. It showed a lovely copper color, which I think would look nice. http://www.sherwin.com/visualizer/ You might also be able to get some ideas from HGTV. http://www.hgtv.com/designers-portfolio/bedrooms/index.html Your selections so far sound lovely. I'm sure you'll be able to select something tasteful.
4. Either a light, sagey green or a camel color, like Kahlua, in keeping with the liquor theme. If you like purple, a royal purple with shades of red would be nice, too. There are some great sales going on at jcpenney.com.
