as you’ll see in a few more posts this week (guest room makeover reveal, coming right up!) i’m still seduced by that little black magic. i’ve had jet black walls before and loved them, and as you may know, i painted the exterior of my house jet black (and all the interior doors black, too). so i guess my crush on black never really fades. it just has such persuasive power to give a room a dramatic edge and to take dreary to dynamic. i’ve hunted down many an example for you. enjoy, and embrace the black!

Beautiful images. And your pinning function is working beautifully too. Thanks for fixing.
hurrah! that was a WordPress glitch when they updated their software it somehow became incompatible with Pinterest, but I’m so happy they fixed it! :)
Oh wow, thanks for including my picture! I feel so honoured :) Haven’t regretted painting my kitchen black one second, it looks so much better than before
We’ve had a black kitchen and now a black wall in our bedroom… We call it the bl(accent) wall. ;)
There is a photo here with vintage looking wall decals in the shape of a square, 5th photo from the bottom. How could i do this to my room, what is that called ?
That would be ornate molding painted black, which I think you can buy at places like home depot. I know they carry beautiful ceiling moldings. I found this place that sells them:
