How talented John is, our big screen tv has spent it's 5 year life on a drafting table in our living room. Granted, the table is covered from top to floor in a table cloth that matches the wall behind it, but what I wouldn't give to have a wall like that. Our ceiling slopes so a niche wall would work great (we could have a very little opening for the thermostat, lol). My desire for form and design makes no sense to the other 2/3 of this house's people population.

I love your colors and think a light shade of that gold would probably look good. I am not afraid of color, so I will share this picture taken as we were moving in here of the bold colors I chose. The foreground is DD's room with stamped horsies over the door. I also painted 'grass' floorboards and a sun on the ceiling. The next room is living/dining room with red feature wall with the rest of the walls and ceiling being shades of taupe. Next is my quilting/crafting room with the tuscan gold walls, but it was difficult making the transition from red to gold with the bullnose walls. Then, the most jarring, is the 2 tone shade of aqua/turquoise in the master. I have never been a blue person, but I can think of the tropical seas I have visited before living in the desert. Our bath is a boring spa gray, DD's is lilac with big bold squares and circles of primary colors. Kitchen is pale yellow and the laundry has bits of all the leftover paints! No white left here, but for doors and trim.
