The dark side is not for everyone!

 

Hello lovers, here is a living I was working on with my sister, early last year.

 

 

I really enjoy working with new colors and coming up with creative ways to use it and make it functional. My sister had a really hard time with such a dark living room, she has since changed it. I just love it and wanted to showcase it anyway.

 

Love panels, because there is so much that can be done with them. Sometimes you just have to go with what the client wants. Just wish I could have had my way.

 

Of course, I added striped walls. Love the character the arch gives the entry way.

 

It was a lot of work to tape all the panels and borders but, the end results are worth it. 

 

Walls were painted and allowed to dry a day. Then the panels were taped to add

the gold. Gold paint is by Modern Masters, Best gold paint so far, not thin like, gold leaf. Also not cheap like it either, but still worth it. The paint used in the living is charcoal by Behr in semi gloss.
She has re-painted her living room French mocha, which is on the other end of the spectrum. Choosing paint can be tricky, so sample, sample, sample!

Until the next project,
Jewelz!
