Recently, I chose to paint the kitchen in a house that we are working on
black. All of the guys that I work with thought that I was crazy. They asked over and over if I was lying about my color choice. That is, until I actually painted it. But once the paint was on the walls, they all loved it!
It seems odd that there are so many perfect examples of how beautiful and sophisticated black walls can be, yet there are still so many people who cringe at the idea. The very week that I painted the kitchen, my mom got a new House Beautiful magazine that was just crawling with gorgeous black walls.
Even painting only one wall black brings something special to a room. Don't you think? It just looks so black-tie and classy.
Do any of you have black walls in your hom
e?
