Do you need a roommate?
Love the Witco cats!
The glass grapes too are nice.

It's more fun to compute
I guess I have to start all over again next weekend...
This time, I'm gonna buy just a pint for starters and do a test patch first.
I'd recommend just doing an accent wall in the color you want, leave the rest of the room white

So I wanted to freshly paint my listening room, which was a blue-tinted white. I wanted a warm, deep orange color, and went with a Behr paint called "Mandarin."
After spending several hours taping off the ceilings and other borders, removing the doors, tearing up the room, and painting two coats, the final results were not quite what I had in mind...

Houses in the Northeast rarely benefit from warm colors. I think you would like it better if it were much lighter shade of this color.
My kitchen is a very warm and light, baby chicken yellow, and it works well with the antique white stained cabinets and furniture. That might be another alternative along with painting the interior walls of the windows white.
Now when I am thinking...before repaint the entire room in different color, try what it is called "dropped down ceilings". All you need to do is to paint the top area of the walls with the color of the ceiling, in your case white. Kinda like this:
You dont need to drop the ceiling color this far down, experiment and see what works for your room. Also, you do not need the wooden divider between the two colors. Sometimes its left alone, another option is to draw a thin line of a completely different darker color where the decorative wood piece is.
Good luck.
Best.

My garage listening area mainly for watching sports, live music and having a few frothies (beers) with friends or just to get some peace

Now that's my kind of listening space!
Bedroom simplicity
Spotify to A230 to Onix Ref.5
Had a cd player and a TT, never used them.
I like. Simple and clean.
my spot on the left end of green dbl recliner in foreground forms an equilateral triangle with the infinity speakers. i have gotten real good at just sitting through multiple cds
cd rack can be seen on right just around a corner. curtains on left side cover 2 pairs of french exterior doors
speakers are about 18” from wall behind. its a smallish room.

Here's where I'm at with the orange room right now...
My plan is to keep the orange (I'm getting used to it), but I'm gonna paint the trim (indented bottoms of the walls, window sill, baseboard heater) Ben Moore Linen White. I think that will be enough to soften the effect.
The orange isn't quite as radioactive in real life as the earlier photos show, and it may have even deepened as it fully cured.

I like the Dentons so much that I sold my LS50s! They sound great with my tubes.

Here in the States, Dentons are still available and pretty inexpensive.
Music Direct (an online retailer) seems to have an unlimited supply of them, making some of us wonder if the Dentons were really a limited edition made in 2012 only
