Once You Go Black...

A few weeks (months? years?) ago, I picked up a gallon of black paint from the ooops pile at my local home depot.  I think it spent a few days rolling around in my trunk, and then a few more (days? weeks?) stashed away in our garage awaiting the perfect project.  Then yesterday, on a whim, I decided I was going to redo one of our guest bedrooms and quickly remembered that I had a gallon of black paint stored away.  And thus, one of my walls went black (I don't have a before picture, but I had, at some point, painted some haphazard grey and white stripes on the wall).  Excuse the crappy Iphone pictures too ;).


I decided to paint the sloped part of the ceiling as well so that the wall would read as one. The rest of the bedroom walls will be white since, this being a fairly small room, I didn't want it to feel too cave-like. Now I'm all kinds of excited for the moody, glam feeling I'll be able to create in here for my guests. Behold some inspiring images:

Of course, this being a totally impromptu project, I'm working within significant budget constraints - meaning I'll be using mostly things I already have around the house to pull the room together.  Behold my inspiration board:

Stay tuned for the big reveal!
