    Yes, pretty dark. I think once we get everything back on the walls, get the chair rail up and find some new curtains it will brighten up nicely. Got two coats of paint up tonight, tomorrow we will get the garfunkles back on the wall and snap a couple pics.

    What's the story behind referring to your wall hangings as "Garfunkles"?

    Been using that name for a while, lots of strange things like that in mine and the Mrs' shared lexicon.

    The first photo is the most true to color. Cut the trim while we were putting everything back together.

    Looking good!!

    We had a similar color in our foyer at our previous house, I bought it for an accent wall, but it looked so nice WWW did the whole thing.

    The Garfunkles really stand out against that wall color. I was leery at first, but you guys done good!

    Yes it does, we have a double window on the south side and a single window on the west. All are in need of replacement, hoping to find a gently used picture window about he right size at a restore in the near future.
