Blue-eyes - don't let black scare you - we have an entire two rooms which are totally black - including ceilings!! It is for the theater and pool/ping-pong table rooms really all one big room. I was a little nervous when we started it - then I hurt my back and poor Terry had to finish it all by himself. It turned out GREAT - nothing to fear at all! If I thought it wouldn't be "overkill" I would consider painting the "tank room" black as well - I can imagine sitting back with very low lights - watching the beautiful fishes live their peaceful lives - so relaxing....hmmmmmm....oh honey - re-think on the wall color!!! LOL

Kathy - good luck - I wish I had words of wisdom or thoughts that could help you! Well maybe I do but I had better PM you those secrets~~~ LOL! Mike sounds like a great guy - who btw should get a dog - they are great security monitors (unless it is Goldie - who runs & hides at the slightest noise sound or feather falling)!
