I think that we changed the name of this room every 2 weeks during the first 6 months that we lived here. Living room? Den? Family Room? As silly as it sounds, we simply couldn't agree on what to call it. To poke fun at ourselves at how absurd of a problem this was, at some point we decided to actually give it a name... and so it jokingly became The Benjamin Franklin Room (as in the guy on the $100 bill) since it's the room where I typically go to sit idly and comb over our finances. But good luck getting a 3- and 4-year-old to pay homage to Benjamin Franklin. And so, eventually it simply became the computer room. It is indeed where our only desktop computer is located... (ironically enough, that's the only corner of the room that I forgot to capture in the photos). And that's pretty much the only thing that matters on this side of the house to our kids. So without further ado, we present to you... the painted computer room.
We're not quite done with this room yet, but I thought that it was deserving of a "halfway there" blog entry. We're thinking of painting the cabinets cream (same color that's below the chair rail), repainting the tan wall a slightly different shade... and replacing or painting the mantle wouldn't hurt either. But for now we've got more important things to spend our time and (Benjamins) on... so classify this one as a long-term work-in-progress. It'll all get done in due time.
