That room again

I think I did a pretty good job of cleaning up the closet in my brown woman cave.  I painted the shelves white and the walls the ceiling blue.  It was a pain and is hard to see the blue, but I still think it was worth it. 
It is also more empty than ever before, and it should remain that way for about 72 more hours until I start desperately throwing crap in there.  Ok, I've already started the crap throwing.  But it's a neat throw.  I think. 
That fine piece of furniture blocking the view of the closet door is the Craigslist dresser I raved about here.  It goes along with a very nice electronic device that will be great for me during the very loooong football season when I am banished from the living room.  
I got my own 42" plasma - awe yeah!  I chose to wall-mount it because it's a small room and I wanted as much space between me and the tv as possible.  I also wanted to have the top of the dresser clear of tvs, components, etc.  I will have to share my brillz plan later...I promise there won't be any wires hanging down when I'm through! 
The mount we bought tilts up and down (doesn't swivel though) and was pretty darn easy to install.  Finally, people.  Something was EASY to install and didn't require crying.  I got the mount from Walmart.com for $40....and I'm so happy with it!  Check it out here.  This room is finally starting to look good - one long paint-drenched day at a time, right?

  2. I laughed a lot when I read, "Finally, people. Something was EASY to install and didn't require crying." I even had my hubby read it and then he laughed a lot too.

    The room looks amazing. I'm excited to see what your plan is for the TV area.

  6. Drools. We don't have a flat screen, let alone one just for me. :)

    Projects that don't require crying are the best!

  9. I love the blue on the ceiling. I'm trying to find a nice pale blue for the family room ceiling and everything I pick looks great in the store then I get it home and it looks like a baby boy's nursery :(

    Can't wait to see your finished room!!

  10. Awesome! I'm dreaming of a black... flatscreen (set to the tune of White Christmas).

    I really am though. Love the wall mount, too.

    You may have already answered this, but can you tell me the paint colors you used?

    Thanks.

  14. Sara I just love following your blog! I love looking at all your rooms you have remodeled and updated they are fabulous! I was wondering if you would ever do a layout of your house or video tour (like younghouselove)so we could see where everything is located? Just curious & maybe you already have and I missed it-Thanks!

  15. Anon - the brown paint is 'Bark' by Glidden. I believe it's not in their color deck anymore, but I can give you the formula if you want it! The blue is Behr 'Harbor Sky' and it is really a blue-ish white more than anything.

  16. I vividly remember how horrible it was mounting our tv on our tv set. Ugh. Glad you had it easy!

  19. Your own plasma TV?!?! Freakin' awesome! I've thought about mounting ours to the wall, but to be honest, it kinda scares me!

    The closet looks fab - very organized!
