Next Pinterest Project

I have been wanting a new computer desk for a long time. My computer has to be in my living room. I have a cheap IKEA Desk in there now. Nothing fancy to look at , very boxy , just plain Jane. I was actually considering painting this one to be cheap about it ! THEN I came across the above desk on pinterest. It just so happens my mom has a table in her garage exactly like this she asked me this weekend if i wanted. Since we have a table and chairs this is perfect for a desk.
My only problem ? I am not sure what color to paint it. My living room ( see pic below ) is currently beige, rust and brown. I would like to paint it something a little brighter ? Maybe Red ? Anyone have any thoughts ?
