They're great!<br /><br />I'm curious: When you work on rooms in your own home, do you draw on photos like this in order to get a sense of the proper scale? Or are you just able to look at the room with the naked eye and tell if something will work?clafo40https://www.blogger.com/profile/00779288122145315157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-61742891168189352152009-08-18T17:03:00.233-04:002009-08-18T17:03:00.233-04:00What a great job!

I lost my nerve but I think I have it back and will be doing that one in the next powder room I do. So glad that you suggested making the most out of that alcove Janice is lucky enough to have!

But it looks like there is a pocket door in there to me so either way, I think she is set.<br /><br />As for shades of gray - as with any color, you really must paint large swatches on the wall before selecting. If there is any color that changes with the light and surrounding colors, its gray. A color that looks like the perfect gray in my room might look much more blue or green or purple in your room. The few dollars it takes to do a sample is very well worth it!Mrs. Limestonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06159249562273770481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-6982740694848204972009-08-18T15:25:46.306-04:002009-08-18T15:25:46.306-04:00Looks awesome!!
