As soon as its gets completely done (ie: 12th of never), I'll post pictures of my "craft room". The walls are raspberry, the ceiling is blueberry, and I want to put black granite & white marble tiles as the floor. DH isn't crazy about it, but I don't care. My room, he doesn't like it, don't look. I also put diffraction grating film on my one window (south facing) so that the room's filled with rainbows in the afternoon. (

http://www.art-paints.com/Pain...) and the hall way between the bedroom & the laundry room is Lemon Peel yellow. The den downstairs is "under the sea" blue, a very soft soft blue with Bronco Orange trim (just happened to match the orange, not purposefully put the orange with the blue). I'm painting the stairwell downstairs a ruddy sand color because I'm decorating it with Egyptian paintings. In my living room, my pride & joy is my Big Red Horse painting. I personally know the artist and she made this, not with me in mind or on commission, but she told my MIL about this painting, my MIL told me about this painting (it was about half done), I went to see it, fell in love with it, bought it when it was completely. Took it home, hung it on the wall for about 2 years, then decided to spruce it up by putting LED lights behind it. Thus, I got this:
Was beyond simple to do. That picture was taken before I had completed the painting of the living room.
Main thing is that I love bright, gaudy colors. Drives my MIL inSANE because she cannot stand bright colors.. her favorite colors are grey and babypoo. Her house is magnificently decorated (she hired a very expensive decorator) and has only the best that money can buy. However, her house (I will not call it a home because it's a place where you don't feel like a home, it feels like a domicile, where you sleep, like a hotel) is also very boring. She has gorgeous, one of a kind paintings, but nothing sticks out in your mind about it. However, it makes her happy, so that's good enough for me! But she's constantly badgering me because "it's going to be so hard to sell your house, you're going to have to knock down the price or repaint everything!". Uh, who says I'm selling my house? Just Friday she brought up me selling the house & moving into a different house. WHY IN HELL WOULD I WANT TO??? There's NO way I'm moving, ever, if I can afford it! I've put too much effort, blood, sweat, & tears into that house, and especially my yard! Nut-uh, not moving!
/rant off.
