Oh, *man!*  Accent walls and everything!  I've always wanted an accent
wall (or even a ragged wall), but that would require actually finding
two colors that coordinate, and that will never happen.  ;-)

And Tyler has the courage to use *red,* too!  And here I was thinking
that the fact that someone was able to pry that can of white paint out
of my hands was a huge accomplishment.  I would love a red room
somewhere, but I've rather run out of rooms.  Most of my rooms and
halls are butterscotch, which is OK, but hardly inspiring.

Has anyone had the guts to do a ceiling in anything other than
"ceiling white?"
