For my sister, it was purple. It didn’t work.

If it works, it works.

In my house, with all the big windows, that just wouldn’t work, but it makes the room cozy, and it even looks a little larger. Very nice choice!

When the kid wanted black, we gave her one black wall. Her room is now all dark purple with silver accents.

In my (traditionally called a dining room) pool table room, I have a wall that I taped a diagonal line and painted half black, and half red. It goes with the softer gray on the other walls, and the black and red pool table. I love it.

I’ve used black as an accent on other walls, too.

Good for you letting Melissa go for it!

I absolutely love this room! I’m normally not a person who would paint a room black either, but my tastes might just have expanded…

Your family has such awesome taste in lighting! I should send you a picture of my livingroom ceiling so you can point and laugh at the extra ugly that we privately refer to as the “Alien Parking” that the FIL installed …

I like it! (Living with Ms. Pants, I had to learn to soften the edges of my very conservative (she thought boring) taste. Whether I decorate with it or not, I love her taste and her use of color.) So this has turned out nicely for all of you – I LOVE the red dresser and the theatre light!

I like it too. Black, yes, but with panache and originality.

Excellent! I don’t think Angel3 can spell “dog” yet. He’s very advanced in many areas and is as good as gold, but he’s not much of a reader yet. Loves to be read to but doesn’t sit and try/pretend to read on his own. Someday.

My neices have the same birthday, two years apart. When they were like 6/8 they looked very similar and it was hilarious that folks struggled to comprehend that YES they had the same birthday and NO they were not twins because it was TWO years apart. People are funny, and as it turns out spectacularly dumb sometimes :)

As for the light thing – holy shmoly! Is Alastair going to market this wonderful invention??? I really need two!! I’m serious – this could well be an awesome invention henceforth to be gifted to all who become parents.
