Red Office

The Training Room is on the other side of the window. The blinds are off at the moment.

My office needed a paint job after some recent renovation work. Given the choice of color I thought I'd go slightly extreme: red. Heartthrob red, to be specific.

It's only one wall -- the other three will be a pale, pale blue -- but I figure it will slap me with some major league energy every morning when I first walk in the door. Every other wall in the entire building is white or some muted shade of blue, pink, or green. POW!! This will be fun.

Red, white (window frames), blue walls, a patriotic theme going. Not bad. It should help give a jolt.

Glad you like it. All afternoon I knew someone was walking by because I'd hear them say "wow" a few seconds before they peered around the corner. It was more fun than a doorbell.

I'll have to remember this if I ever get a new building - no blah colors for me! I'll have to fight for a bit of color, so please remember what you said to get such a great choice.

I think your red wall is inspiring lots of people in the building. I have heard so many "wow"s since the paint started going up. Staff members who never come over to our side of the building have come by, often accompanied by the last "wow"er. I'm jealous of your colorful walls. I just have one white wall and three gray cubicle walls.

Color! WOW! Just what you need on a Monday morning to get the heart pumping for another week in the salt mines.

Wow what a bright color, it will certainly liven up the building, which is needed. Are you going to have pictures of Mao, Marx, Engels, Che, etc on your red wall ;-)

I think I said, "How 'bout red, Tom?"
I hope we get a bit more color (in our building AND the branches). And I hope your place -- maybe that white wall -- can be cheered up. What color would you choose?
You said it!
Ahhh... no. Maybe Spiderman, though. :)

Oooooooh! Do I get to see your office? I was trying to find examples of red office walls, but had no luck. Do you have a photo posted somewhere? And if not, ... please?
