Amos... I painted the place before I moved in 9 years ago... everything white semi-gloss kid's room paint. I have a pic on the living room wall facing the front window (my buddy found it on the road the day I moved into my last house) and a small pic of a ruffed grouse above the fireplace. Every five years, I "bee-mop" the works.

The white paint and lack of pics and such on the walls makes every room look bigger and brighter.
