I'm In Love With Dark Walls

Ever since I went to AB Chao's design camp (I know I've talked about it a lot lately but I seriously learned a lot) I have been IN LOVE with dark walls.  They definitely require some bravery but I think they are totally worth it because all of a sudden all of your  beautiful things standout in the room!

Here are some perfect examples of what I mean...

Dark Wall Bedroom
Nothing transforms a room faster than a dark shade of paint. This is such a sophisticated tone with a lot of depth and interest.

You probably realized that when I say dark walls I mean, nearly black.

Harvest has begun in Iowa which means that I am officially a "farm widow!" (aka totally on my own to do what I please...sorta) Farm widows get to do all sorts of cool stuff, like paint walls nearly black without their husband objecting.  It's a pretty cool thing, really!

A dark wall will soon make an appearance in our home on the north wall of our dining room! :)


Stay tuned...
