In all seriousness .. blue is fine of course. I just wish I had done black on mine from the get-go. Don't know why I didn't consider it. I had black background tanks well before and knew that I liked it better but for some reason I was bent on blue for this one. Took me a few months into it when I realized that black would have made a better choice but by then it was too late.

So anyhow yeah I suggest doing it now if you think there's a chance you'd like it better. But if you like blue just stay with it for now ..

Need some input on the color of the closets. I finally mudded the holes in the walls after I removed the shleves and hangers. Should I go all white? Or keep the walls the original beige color and do all of the shelving white?

Thoughts?

I'd got all white, but then I'm a bit colour biased :-)

Here is what the color looks like at the moment.

it looks a little dark in there. White will help brighten the space :-) But then so will the lights that you cram in there.

I would suggest cutting some 2x6 verticals to size to slip under the ends of your rails. My bad if you already mentioned you would.

Yeah it will have a bunch more support added when I'm done painting/mudding. I left them like that so that I could get them in the closet, and then move them around for now to paint.

Yeah I think I will go white. Unless someone else has some other ideas!

There will be a couple smaller light fixtures going in the closets with switches so that I can see what i'm doing in there lol.

^^^^ I know right!!!

I really wish that I could afford to fully cover the walls in FRP panelling, but thats just a little too expensive right now.
