Also many of my paintings are framed in black.<br />Great to find you. :-)<br /><br />Cheers!Linda @ DesignInMyViewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07722223853682171585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210558362945352459.post-48966886119206980092012-07-05T20:43:50.623-07:002012-07-05T20:43:50.623-07:00Like you I have always wanted to paint a room blac...Like you I have always wanted to paint a room black...it is so elegant and dramatic.

My next {of many} project is to paint my grandsons' room black and white. I am going to use board and batten, white, with the top third of the wall black. The boys' beds will be black and white with their currant favorite color as their sheets. Looks great in my head, we'll see how it turns out!! lol<br />Thanks for sharing.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07298632258557474170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210558362945352459.post-17609084330637631902012-07-05T18:47:14.121-07:002012-07-05T18:47:14.121-07:00I have always thought black and white was such a c...I have always thought black and white was such a classic/classy combination.
