OR, he thought he was coming to an interior design/decorating forum, not a meeting of the Dr. Phil Association for Practicing Armchair "Psycho"-logists.

Then again, I doubt the sanity of anyone seeking wisdom from a group of random strangers with "trust me" credentials, blogging in their underwear. Come on - you know you do it!

Huh??? He came to seek our opinion. What " blogging in the underwear" has to do with someones opinion? Do you believe that blogging with suit and tie would result smarter, better posts??

Not necessarily so. Some husbands couldn't care less about decorating/painting.....I'm married to one of those. He would not be offended if I painted the walls (he would probably be happy in fact) yet we are respectful of one another's opinions in areas where we have an opinion. I certainly would not make the assumption that the OP was a dictator.

then all trim mantel ect goes that crisp bright white.

but thats just my feel.

I personaly plan on doing a damask type effect in my bedroom
I'm getting vibes of Tick Tac Toe

It's not too bad. It looks professionally done too. The bold blue is nice, but the ligter pastel striped walls would look better w/ a lighter/paler solid color wall. I guess they wanted one bold wall & the rest complementary, yet not as profond.
