I’m thinking of this to house our plasma tv and most of the smattering of our DVDs that actually have jewel cases, have been thinking about it ever since the Crate & Barrel catalog came right after we bought the tv, and have begun thinking about it with greater abandon now that I have a job, doesn’t really matter since we don’t really have the do-re-mi right now, and it would make an absolutely fabulous Festivus present to my hubs.
We’ve just about decided on paint colors, although they change somewhat whenever we visit friends with nicely-painted walls. Like when we visited Jenn & Uli in Jersey and marveled at the almost-chartreuse walls in their dining room, and then today, when visiting my brother and his wife in Connecticut and I saw how lovely their dark red-brown their dining room was. I have to agree, it looked great, and we do get a lot of light in our dining room (four huge, tall windows with nine-foot ceilings and pocket doors leading to the other rooms), so that a dark shade might not totally suck the life out of me. I really thought that it might. I’ve already bought curtains that I like in a palish blue linen, so the walls will have to go with them, but dark won’t be bad. G, you win. It just needs to be a warm dark, not cold, okay?

Ooh! We’re deciding on paint colors too! I had so much fun this weekend painting squares on the walls to see how I liked the colors! Good thing too, because I hate the blue that we tried for the bedroom. Yuck! Pictures here!
