I first worked w/ these colours when I inherited the ex-roommate's room 10 years ago - it was the first time I had a 100% dedicated room. He had picked the exact same red - I wasn't sure how much I'd like it but I didn't want to re-paint.
But I loved it and I enjoyed quite an outburst of creativity working there...
Strangely enough, though this room is bigger and much different in shape, with the black curtains on the wall in front of me and the red walls in my peripheral vision, it really feels like I'm back in that room - only, with much better tools, a lot more space around me - and completely smoke-free. :)
