3. I tried that...
I got a few ideas, but I thought maybe there might be a specific site somebody knows about.

2. try cable TV
What, you don't watch "Trading Spaces"??? ;-)

One batch of paint I've been meaning to try is the clay paint from Bioshield: Terra Clay Paint. This looks pretty nice, esp. if you're into that adobe look.

4. LOL No, I don't watch a lot of tv...
I guess maybe I should try it. I want to do something daring like horizontal or vertical stripes or something like that.

5. Benjamin Moore has an interactive paint site
so you can view a color on a wall. Not a bedroom site but gives you some idea of what it will look like.

6. Start with effect you want
to achieve. Want kind of mood do you want to have when you walk into the room? Do you want exciting and energetic? or calming and serenity inducing?

Depending on your answer, you can narrow down your color choices to a particular end of the color spectrum.

11. Cool!
I'm a summer!

That's funny, b/c that's what the old "Color Me Beautiful" book told me years ago too. :D

10. you don't want to copy my bedroom
it's a dump.

Not literally. I'm hoping that five gay men will show up to fix it up but seems unlikely to happen.

12. LOL! I'm gay, but I guess I didn't
inherit the decorating gene.
