Black and White and Glam All Over

I would paint every room in my house black if I could, and I COULD, but I am pretty much very lazy when it comes to painting. Ugh, so much going up and going down and moving my arms about.  Although, I do have one great trick for painting a room really easily.  Here it is.  Step one: start painting a room.  Step two: stop, and hope that your husband or whoever else you live with will get so annoyed with your half-painted room that they’ll finish the job themselves.  Works every time over here.

I really do love a black wall though, and if there’s bright white crown moulding at the top? Mmm! Even better.

So, no surprise that I love this guest room makeover from Lindsey at the O’Donnell Collective.  The before is not bad, but the after?

 

Superb! She did a great job paring it down to the basics and the result is so chic.  There’s only one thing hanging on the wall now, as opposed to ten items in the before picture. I also love how the low bedside tables are not out of scale thanks to the oversize lamps.  Smart combination there.  And I love the striped benches, look how nicely she lined up the pattern. I just love the whole darn thing!

Which look do you prefer? Black walls yay or nay??
