thanks everyone! i’m inspired.

BUT – i just noticed, and i am cracking up – i wrote ‘cooper’ fireplace, not copper. and it’s mostly funny because when i adopted my dog, his name was ‘copper’, and i thought it too redundant (he was that lovely, bronzey color), so my friend joni suggested i change one consonant to a vowel. voilá. cooper. :)

I love these photos! Black seems like one of those paint colors that can go horribly wrong or amazingly right, depending on how you decorate around it. Too much black in a room seems like it would make things seem very small, but one or two walls or big black accent areas like the doors above look great! When I was a teenager, my room was painted a dark navy blue, and while I covered it with posters as teens do, looking back on it, that color had so many possibilities.

Yes yes! I am taking the plunge in my tiny office with one solid black wall and plan on hanging a photo collage on it. I even created a mock-up in Photoshop and posted it on my blog and got a great response. I say – why not??

Cheers and Happy New Year,

Absolutely go for it. Tres chic. Think matt looks better than gloss I have to say but will look fab with white. x

This is reminding me of the Trading Spaces episode where they did an all white bedroom and all black bedroom. The black and white combination though is more appealing especially if you use an accent colour that pops. I wanted to do a bathroom in my basement black with the white fixtures but got out voted, so instead it is a milk chocolate brown (yummy).
Go for it, Victoria. You can always cover it up with wallpaper.

I really love the whole ‘black interiors’ thing… but I just could never live with it myself I don’t think… Too much of a color fanatic I guess. Thankfully a good friend is planning on going black in her new home so I’ll be able to live vicariously through her. ;)

I’ve always loved white on white, but now I want black walls too! Please do it and show us! :)

I’ve always wanted to do the blackboard wall but my apartment is not big enough to have one… though i really like it in public spaces because they create a great focal point

thanks everyone! i’m set to do this!

lecia – thanks! it’s really super bright in my living room as i have tons of natural light – even if it’s foggy, so i think it will actually warm up the room. :)
