    Thanks Qbee! I hope you feel well enough to paint; just don't overdo it, what colour are you going to do yours?

    I got the cabinet used on Kijiji about 1 hrs drive from our house. Long story and kinda sad (bought it from a couple breaking up) and man was the wife ever miserable. I know there is 2 sides to every story. Anyways.... it was a good deal and it fits so nice!

    Boy, a loft sounds nice! Does it look over a living/family room? Reno's always take time and thought. My daughter wanted a bright orange room and I drew the line. I know some psychologists would say I was stifling her creativity; but I think she'll make it through therapy.... :wink:

    Thats not tiny.... it.s HUGE!!!!! What a fab space!! (We do things much smaller in UK) :lol: Love the colour!!
    I'm happy with the colour too; I never have to worry about my college age son bringing his friends over for gaming in here.

    My granddaughter painted her room that bright florescent green and my son painted bright orange circles on the walls! I made her a Yellow Brick Road quilt for her bed:
