Thank you!  As you said, it is a very oddly-shaped, angular room - long and
narrow (in fact twice as long as it is wide), so it was really hard to
soften that.  The absolute worst thing about it (besides the torn, dirty,
*ICKY* carpeting*) was the dark maroon bottom half of the walls and the
used-to-be-white-before-a-smoker-stained-them-with-years-and-years-of-tar-an
d-nicotine upper half and ceiling.  The yucky nicotine-yellow on top and the
yellow-on-top-of-the-maroon on bottom would have depressed even somebody who
wasn't already feeling that way.  And since I've been working from home, I'm
stuck in here all day, every day.

LOL - that old file cabinet is *SO* ugly I wouldn't let DH put it back into
the room.  It's still in the garage.  I'm considering getting some metal
paint and painting it white - then I might put it back.

* You wouldn't have believed the carpet in that room - the "wall-to-wall"
carpeting was only around the outer 1 foot from the walls.  Then a cheap,
imitation oriental rug was put in the middle of the room on bare concrete!
