On the second stop of our tour, I'd like to show you the darkest room in the house. As you can see...this room has a lot of brown going on. We could have an almost entirely wood paneled room if the floors under the carpet were wood, but alas, they're linoleum. Let's see...wood on walls-check! Wood on ceiling-check! Wood on crazy closet door-check! Wood on windows-check! Wood on floors- no check. Bummer.
We'll be removing all this extraneous stuff once we move in, but that plastic bottle of whiskey is kinda growing on me. This shot (above) shows the view from near the french doors that lead to the backyard....you'll never guess, but they're also wood.
Oh, there are the doors. And the lovely window shutters. It was the peak of chic in the 60s I guess. For the record, my grandparents used this room as their TV/comfortable chair room. We are thinking of using as more of a library because frankly, there's no good place to put our TV. This room has three doorways/hallways, the French doors, a closet door, and the fireplace. It's enough to give Nate Berkus a double hernia, and I'd hate to do that to cute little Nate.
So what's the plan in here? PAINT and lots of it. But first, we'll be priming. We have a five gallon bucket of Killz primer just waiting in the garage for this room. I think we'll do a light gray/beige with the fireplace white and the beams a slightly darker gray/beige? Not entirely sure yet, I'll make it a surprise.
