For me, it doesn't need to be soft. Feminine can be bold, bright and strong. I love these black walls. I thought it was great how Leslie used black walls, but still the space looked bright, happy, pretty and feminine. Black doesn't have to go moody.

I love all shades of pink in my garden. I still adore the chairs I inherited from my MIL. Pink of course. And yes I am painting all of my downstairs black. <br /><br />For over 25 years, it was all white. As it became too trendy, and wanting a different look that still went with my old furniture, I kept coming back to black. It shows off moldings. It's a great background for art. And those pink chairs look great against the updated black. It's not a "goth" look. It is a quiet, elegant look. I'm looking forward to everything being done, but as the black paint starts to take off the first floor, I have to say, I'm in love.home before darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272062955786414729noreply@blogger.com
