Re: Sick Brick
The sage doesn't look as bad as I anticipated, but I still think the deep red, chocolate brown, and khaki options might work better.
Sage is an awfully hard color to pull off.

Re: Sick Brick
Oh, I wouldn't do "big" (like an entertainment center), because it is a pretty small space. But I would do tall and wide to help cover over some of that brick. Like I said, something in the 4-5' range, and preferably something "open", not bulky.docellis wrote:
Funny, I just removed my big furniture and bought that small tv stand. I had a floor to ceiling entertainment center and two very large speakers that are no longer there.
We have opposite taste I think. I want the room to have more space. This is a sunk in living room/den that used to be a carport. It was a room addition in the 80's (I think). It isn't tiny, but it does have low ceilings and it isn't large.
I have a GINORMOUS living room on the other side of the house that would be better served for big furniture. But I'm not touching that room until I replace all the flooring in the house. So I spend most of my time in this sunk in den room.

Re: Sick Brick
The sage that I used in my Photoshop effort was PMS416. The green that Doc used definitely looks neon green in the photo. A green that I've been pondering for our living room is a swatch from Home Depot (I think) called Laurel Leaf. We were going to do some cosmetic renovation to our home until the house needed infrastructure attention - so the swatch remains taped on our wall.
I must say I am impressed with the decisiveness and quick implementation of your plan - a perk of living alone no doubt. A Saturday afternoon idea to a Monday morning completed photo, I am extremely jealous. In that time, my husband and I would maybe have swatches or a list of things to get to complete such task. Hubby is a researcher/planner, thinking that in the long run it saves time - I've yet to experience that.
EDIT: Agree with Popeye, a brick wall painted red looks like fake brick. Or that you're hiding a flaw.
Go with the background color of someecards' birthday card backgrounds.
