Hi all, you may remember me and my challenging room with dark paneling, beams and a cedar shake wall. Everything is coming together (finally). Here are before and after photos.

Here is the after of just the stone wall and my faux marble mantle. Maybe I should have left it stained but the wood was crappy and it was all busted underneath (which I had to patch -- so then I just painted). I'll share a photo of the whole room when I get the furniture back in place.

It's good: lighting up the room as you expected. The wall color seems to go well with the stones. Live with all for a while before any change. Looking forward to seeing the full room, as you're definitely on the right track to my eyes.
