Yesterday I posted that I wanted to paint my cabinets black/charcoal, which I do, but the desire to paint something REALLY dark came from these. I know these pictures are probably not strangers to your eyes, but isn't nice to see them again?



I LOVE Jenna Lyons' home seen in the last two pictures. The paint in her nursery inspired a nursery I recently completed but that will be for another day. Sorry this is so quick, I hope to post more later but I have to run!

I love dark walls! I have chocolate ones in my Living Room and even went black in my little bathroom and I love it!
Just got the May issie of House Beautiful (yeah, I have to suffer a week or two while I wait for our mail to be delivered - arrgghhh!)
ANYWAY...noted an East Coast kitchen where the designer used chocolate brown w/ brass hardware for the cabinets. Guess the spectrum of dark kitchens is moving beyond black!
I looove dark walls (and Jenna Lyons' home!) I have a deep soil brown wall in our study, but I have been wanting black walls for the last while now. And I stained my kitchen cabinets ebony a few years ago, although they are almost more of a dark dark brown, and I do love them (although I also love white and grey kitchens, so I have no idea what I will do with our next house!)
The more I see rooms painted black, the more i like the trend. I don't think I could ever go with black paint, but it's less harsh than I originally thought.
I really do love dark walls. I can't wait to get out of this apartment so my husband and I can do something like these rooms!
The 3rd picture paint color looks like my living room! And the white bedding is like my couch. It makes me happy :)
love her house...i have a dark entry and love it...adds a little something special.
