Sometimes I Amaze Even Myself
Today, my handyman friend finished texturing the new closet and other minor repairs he's done in my bedroom. The home improvement ball is now back in my court.
Today I went to Home Depot twice, went to a Sherwin Williams paint store, went to the grocery store, cooked dinner, did two loads of laundry, changed my bed linens, and put primer on the closet and other newly-repaired areas in my bedroom. And that was after sleeping in!
Tomorrow I'm going to paint the interior of the closet a netural white. When that dries, my friend will return and put the clothes hanging rod and shelf back up -- so I will have a functional closet again!
Then I get to make my final selection on wall color and paint the rest of the room. Then we buy and paint trim and the new closet doors.
I keep wanting a deep/royal blue for my walls -- but keep getting discouraged by people who tell me that having dark blue in a basement room isn't wise. I'm becoming more concerned about how dark blue would work with the cherry-tone of my dresser and nightstand, and the crimson and gold of my large, gilt-framed print of Leighton's "Godspeed".
Anyone on my friends list good with color?

Your comments also got me thinking that I'm going to have white trim, and the doors on my new closet are also going to be white.
I've thought about painting the new alcove where the old closet used to be in a lighter shade too -- although I'm not sure how that would work as it goes directly into one of the long walls.
Hmmm. . . the more I think about the "stuff" that's also going to be up and around the less imposing the blue sounds. We're going to be moving in a small desk for my daughter, and I want to put up a cork board above it for her reminders and maybe some photos. That will cover even more. . .
