Sales prices on eBay vary hugely. (That's what I use since it's a wide audience including knowledgeable and novice buyers.) I've seen some very fine pairs go for upwards of $500 for the pair and others for under $100, with most in the $100-200 range. If I were guessing, I'd guess yours would probably sell in the $150-$250 range -- But I'm No Expert! A lot depends on size, and I'm assuming yours are 7" or so tall?

For color scheme inspiration, I would look at fantasy book covers aimed at young adults (just Google under images). Some of my favorites are Melissa Marr, Holly Black, Gail Carson Levine, Diana Wynne Jones, and Herbie Brennan (and the books are great too). A few where I liked the covers but haven't read the books are Wondrous Strange by Lesley Livingston and I Was a Teenage Fairy by Francesca Lia Block. Fantasy is my all-time favorite genre, so I loooooove the idea of a moody, nighttime faerie themed room. If it were just to suit myself, I would have the dark blue ceiling have a splash of purple in it (like a sunset), and then have a deep purple on the walls that leaned blue. That way, any royal purples, blues and greens would blend in well, but still have their own character. Please note that the aubergine and eggplant purples that are popular right now are much more muted than book cover colors, so to a certain extent, you will have to decide how strong/clean you want the colors in your room to be vs muted/dirty. Personally, when I'm going deep, dark colors on walls, I like them to have more kick so the place doesn't just look dark. My bedroom right now is a red that's been blackened just enough so that I don't get a headache, but my mum can't take it for more than a few minutes. It all depends on your lighting and personal color tolerances. Also, keep in mind that when it's in the middle of the day in summer, you might be craving accents that are lighter and/or brighter, so if you have a favorite pillow/sweater/fill-in-the-blank-item that the color of consistently makes you happy, integrating that color or colors might be a good way to lighten/brighten things up seasonally, so make sure the paint colors look good with it/them. If you do go the stronger/cleaner route, to keep it from looking childish, one option would be to incorporate natural textures while keeping the uber-sparkly bits to a minimum (1-2 mirrors, 1-2 sparklies). Another is to go glam with mirrors and metals (new hardware for bedroom furniture, perhaps?). There are other ways too, but those are the easiest to pull off. Oh, and with that much dark color going on, you probably should take it easy on the black. Unless you're into the goth look, which, while there's nothing wrong with that, doesn't exactly say "A Midsummer Night's Dream". I also have to caution you about the glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling; a friend of mine did that, and apparently whatever was used on the backing wrecked the ceiling (her folks were NOT pleased). So if you're sold on the idea, just be 100% sure it's going to be easy to remove. P.S. I've included a picture that I've always loved the moody quality of, but I have no idea where I got it.

Very imaginative, people. Crunchpa, leave it to you to come up with a zebra! Ron, I've said it before, but I love your lath house. Kate, no wonder you came up with this theme. That's the stripiest picture! I'm a little dizzy from all these stripes, but let me see what I can find...... Okay, I see stripes on the face of this sunflower, don't you? Stripes, sort of. Sky stripes. Caterpillar stripes. Shadow stripes.

Thanks Les for replying. I guess I felt desperate for light and the electrician said the only light he could give me was a plug in the wall with track lighting and my biggest fear is if one day I sell and no one wants my home since I would have track lighting in my living room. Les since I have a part-time employee, I showed pics for you of my office and the area behind the supply cabinets she sits. I thought of the exact set-up you had in mind and it would only work if I worked all the time by myself and my employee did not need her own private area to work. I like the idea of visiting a lighting store with pics to show them and ask for advice. Parma42, the lamp is growing on me and I no longer find the chrome distracting but now I worry if it has too much light. If I click the switch once, 2 bulbs come on, clicking twice, has three bulbs come on and clicking 3X has all four bulbs come on that is a lot of light. Maybe I am now doing overkill with the light. First I have a dim room but it is good for my computer and now I will have so much light. Thanks Michelle for repying. Yes, I prefer a bushed finish also. I wish there would be a fixture in the ceiling so that my room would have some ambient light so I would not need light that bounces off of the ceiling to feel I am not sitting in the dark. I am wondering if I need reading glasses and that is why all of a sudden I feel I need more light? Maybe I am borderline at age 46?
