Seeing Red

So I want to paint my living room red. I know it's a hard colour to go about, in terms of making sure you get the right shade, but I just really want my living room to be warm and cozy. Right now it's painted a very pale, very cold feeling, purpley/grayish colour, and it just feels so cold and empty. I want to walk into the room and feel like it's warmer and cozier and comfortable. See, here's the thing. I only have one window in there and it doesn't get any light during the day, the only time there really is any light that gets to it is in the evening when the sun is setting (on those rarer and rarer sunny days). So there in lies the problem. Am I going to be making a mistake by making it feel small and in closed? Or will it have the effect that I want, warm and cozy?

my bathroom!

So this is my bathroom. Yeah, I know, I'm really opening myself up here, but I wanted to show you the travesty that is my house. I know that there really isn't anything that I can do to change it, it's just plain old small.
The only thing that I can do is dream, right? So this is mine, hey, check out that super small sink in there?! I know, riiight, it's from a trailer or something. SUPER SMALL!
ps that's my little Miss Willow cat sneaking in for a drink in the tub. C. doesn't like the kitties in the bathroom, I on the other hand am indifferent.

This is the smallest bathroom sink I've ever seen. I'm pretty sure that when I went to Florida when I was 17 and stayed with my Aunt and Uncle in there camper (huge trailer) that thier sink was bigger :) HAHAHA Oh yeah, the windows are complete with bars for burglars. I sort of live in the ghetto.

This is the from the doorway, when sitting on the toilet, you can't close the door. You have to walk into the washroom, turn around, close the door, then sit down.
