Creamy is dreamy, but too much is dreary. That was essentially the problem with this before guest bedroom. Lots of nice things, but nothing really giving this room any oof. Wait. That is not the right word. That’s the noise you make when someone punches you in the stomach. Oof! We don’t want this room to punch you in the stomach either. That’s too much oof.
OOMPH! Yes, there it is. That’s the one. Just by adding in some dramatic doses of black, Kim majorly amped up the oomph, yet still managed to keep a sense of serenity in this room. Lovely! I’d be happy to stay here, wouldn’t you?

Such a great little hutch, and stunning in black!

March 4, 2014 at 9:46 PMThank you! To answer Stacey’s question, I found *all* of the furniture on Craigslist for about $200 (hutch, two beds and chair). The beds came with rails and footboards as well, but since the room is small I opted to use only the headboards.
