Hi Steve, I do love the TV (great sound, picture as nice as my analogue TV downstairs with only regular cable ... both could use digital cable for a clearer picture, wonderful remote, very pretty TV but so SHINY the black that I can see my reflection... wish my TV stand was wider and taller) but I do not like the pedestal look on my Night Stand (2.5" on each side hangs and to me is distracting in the pretty bedroom) and I am seriously thinking of taking it back (but upset that the sneaky salesman has on the slip that LCD's are not returnable when he made me sign the screen without reading anything and then the person came to bring it to my car and I was very sick and when I asked to see the slip before signing, he said it was everything we discussed) and buying the 26" white Sharp LCD that swivels that was only $30 less for so much less screen with only the added swivel feature... but is in white and will not overpower the bedroom I feel. I just would have to order it from Target.com and have to pay about $26 in shipping to me and then back (UPS $26 around the sales guy said who I spoke to online at Target.com today) if I do not like the off-white color that has some gray in it. It has wonderful reviews but the Toshiba had better reviews and the reviewers are right about the sound quality on the Toshiba... it is very nice and I love the TV but it is TOO black for my bedroom and too big to me. I was sick all day and now not sure what to do. It is a beautiful TV but really stands out in my white room and I wish I could just put it in the family room an buy a white TV for my bedroom that is smaller despite the smaller picture. But my TV in my family room is only about 7 years old (Black Hitachi.. 27" that cost me $199 and looks nice to me.. heavy but not as heavy as my 14.5 year old 25" Samsung TV was). Maybe I can negotiate a deal on the extended and the 26"... I sure wish PC Richards would have the Sharp TV in white. Maybe I can ask if the can order it that way for me?

I had an epiphany this morning. I was trying to put some things together that just didn't quite jibe. I remembered my old lesson from my pepto-bismol bedroom walls fiasco--if something in a room is bugging you, the way to make it go away is to pair it with things ALMOST like it that don't bug you, rather than try to contrast it or draw the eye away from it. Make it blend in. And truth be told, I really didn't want to fuss with painting all those doors--closet and otherwise, window trim, etc., even if it would look good. And my dad probably wouldn't like it. And I wasn't planning on hiding those beach watercolors away forever in that bedroom, I had toyed with putting them in the dining room anyway, to give that closed-in room the feeling of having a view . . . and the stuff on the dining room walls was rustic and woodsy, not ideal for what I envisioned for that room either, with formal furniture. The art on the walls in there was just being OK place holders for now, so totally chage-able. Switching out the art in the dining room and bedroom went with a direction for the bedroom that I had been toying with anyway--rustic northwoods cabin instead of light and beach-ey. AND, I have been wanting to find a way to use this color palette in a room in my house, and this may be the perfect opportunity. I'm already halfway there with the orange-y wood and the carpet . . . So I'm going to see if I can do some major re-arranging of art and furniture that is already in the house, I have some ideas of some wood pieces I can use in the room. The painted dresser and nightstand can go in the pink and blue girly guest bedroom with the white walls. I really feel excited about the possibilities, like "a plan has come together." I'll keep y'all posted, it may take me a few weekends to get it all done. This weekend I'll be happy if I can just make some headway on getting a wall paint color chosen. I'm thinking to go dark raspberry or grey-blue for the walls, like a darker shade of the carpet or even swing it a little grey violet if I can. There's just nasty plywood under the carpet, this is late 80's house.

Nightstands aren't restricted to white. Use whatever color(s) that go well with you design/color scheme. Mine are espresso.
