Beautiful. I believe SOSgemini has a lot of black and it was quite elegant.

keep playing in your bathroom and leave the black paint in the store!!!

I think it's going to look gorgeous...very sleek ...are you going to have a lot of steel accents?

ThreadBare said:

OMG, THIS is completely the look that I had in mind when you said you were doing this. Very nice!

I would paint the entire interior of my house black if I could get away with it.

Muse2NOPharaoh said:

by the way this isnt just black paint, its called Off Black.
Someone like Pratt & Lambert, Farrow & Ball, or Cole & Son Make this paint color.
I wouldn't buy this kind of black from anywhere else or you will have a ugly/gaudy mess on your hands.

http://www.farrow-ball.co...ult.aspx?= <<< look up 'Off Black'
http://www.cole-and-son.com/
http://www.prattandlambert.com/

it will be better to buy from the manufacturer than take the color chip to say like a lowes and buy a cheaper paint because they wont be able to achieve the depth, nuances and durability that the actual manufacture can because places like lowes etc. are limited in the colors they have to mix with.

Yup. black walls can totally work when done right.

Pairing it up with dark wood would be a disaster but with whites it can look amazing.

I'd pair it up with one wall of something like this. Gorgeous.

A woman in the town where my dad grew up did that...cuz she got tired of her kids leaving fingerprints on the walls.

Everyone thought she was nuts.

ThreadBare said:

also the adjoining room is not painted white, its more of a cream or flesh toned color with white trim.
also black is typically used to accentuate the structure, so I wouldnt go and do a bunch of little walls or spaces in the room, stick with a large unbroken surface like they have in this image.. its what allows black or dark colors to have an expansion or openness like a white room... something to think about

When?

Dope!

Rhondab said:

Yeah, I was just caught up in the moment.



Moment passed.

damn thats wrong

I'd totally eat in your kitchen, Threaddy as long as it's stocked w/ Stonewall Kitchen items



DO IT, just one wall though - don't want it to be dismal, kitchens should be bright & stuff

PEJ said:

OMFG!!!

This is how you use matte black to liven things up!!



As for kitchens, I dunno...

okay, THAT is kinda sweet.

love the glass countertops, love the victorian/deco party going on in there. the starburst floor is a little much for me, but i've lived with worse things in my life.

i can see that room being both sleek and sexy at night AND bright and cheery during the day.

Anxiety said:

That is gorgeous.

those glass countertops would be a total bitch to keep clean.

i really like the prints on the wall, though.

I would never leave that kitchen! I love the lamps and the black ceiling.
