Sometimes I Amaze Even Myself

qosToday, 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?

Have you seen the Vehix.com commercials, where the woman keeps saying "Can I see it in red?" and then "Can I see it in blue again?" and the guys with the spray guns repaint the car in seconds? That's what I want.
