Sometimes I Amaze Even Myself

[qos]

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?
