Imagine - with a blank space

This is what happened to our basement. Paint it white, I said, and put in lots of lights.

"But you'll go blind with this much light," said our friend, the electrician.

I don't think so. Though it was very white when we finished painting and turned the lights on.

Place a carpet and the whole thing cools down = a fresh welcoming space.

Dim the lights and you've got a romantic lounge.

At Christmas or Valentines, red slipcovers to change the look completely.

All you need is imagination - and a 3'X6' white table to ground the decor (Craigslist find @$100 - from the Coach store.)
