I’m a fan of a red dining room sometimes.  It can be classy and dramatic and good.  But for some reason, I never felt that way about our red dining room.  It was inherited red, and it doesn’t really go with our stuff that well.  Plus, it was dirty.  The more time I spend up close and personal with the walls, the more I see the dirt.  Yuck.
