  • Inspired & Trendworthy: Dark Walls



    Well, would you do it? Paint your walls dark? Black, grey? Chalkboard? It's so daring & dramatic!

    I have been inspired by all the dark walls I have seen lately. A couple trends I have noticed:
    1. Dark walls are often offset with high-contrast colors - white & light wood.
    2. Rooms that have dark walls are not over decorated. After a few key objects, the room spells perfection.
    3. Dark walls work in any room of the house from the kitchen, bath & bedroom .. even the nursery!
    4. Not all walls are painted dark - especially if the dark wall is a chalkboard wall.
    5. The rooms appear to be well lit. Forget about painting your walls dark if you have cruddy lighting.

  • Spotted & Inspired: Distortion Candlestick by Paul Loebach

    Spotted & Inspired: I recently spotted the Distortion Candlestick by Paul Loebach on this little desk in the image above. The Distortion Candlestick is an unusual piece available in a few muted colors. However, once styled with bold, white furniture & overly bright accessories it comes to life.

    Fun! & I love the wall assemblage with the taped bits.
