Black Paneling

 
I love the impact the black makes in this space, an amazingly clean and simple backdrop for the wood detailing in the furnishings.  Just perfect.  I am also a sucker for hidden doors and the continuation of color onto the floors.  Could you handle the drama of black in your home?

grey and lavender

 

Grey and lavender is a combination I don't think we see enough of.  I just love the soft combination!

This is a great way to treat an offset mantle also- they can always be so difficult.  

Happy Thursday already, I am not sure where the week disappeared to but thank goodness it is almost the weekend again!
