I have decided that this wall needs to be painted. Currently it is white, like every other wall in my place. There is nothing wrong with white, in fact I rather like it. It goes with everything and brightens up my basement digs aka "the grotto". The problem is, my dining table shares the space with my living room. There is plenty of room for this arrangement but I sort of prefer some definition between the dining area and sitting area. Since I'm not clever enough to throw up a wall or even a room divider, I settled on the idea of paint. I've only recently been painting a lot of my old furniture a pretty color of antique red (seen here in the chairs). Cranberry might be a good choice of color only I'm getting a little tired of red. I like the furniture but I'm ready to move on to new adventures on the color wheel. I began by looking at the colors in my curtains and tablecloth in the room. Green is somewhat predominant but that might give the room a Christmassy feeling (good in December, not so much the rest of the year). Beige or brown might be okay but so drab. Finally, I settled on gold...not a flashy gold, but a gold like ale or a ginger cat. It will accent and compliment but not match the rest of the decor. Now that it's decided, I can barely wait to get started.

Wall of Indecision
