White Wood Floors

Lighten up a space by refinishing old wood floors with white paint. This look is particularly fitting for a vacation or beach home, yet timeless enough for a year-round residence. Rooms are instantly brightened, and take on a casual, comfortable feel. Pair with traditional or country furniture for a more feminine feel, or add contrast with simpler more modern pieces.

Dramatic Black Walls

Recently I've come across quite a few spaces that have one thing in common... amazing black walls. Some of you might be doubting my design judgement right now, but trust me on this one, a little black paint can do wonders for a room. My personal favorite way to pull off black walls is to make them pop against bright white trim. Or go for a more monochromatic look and paint the trim black. Add light-colored wall accents, furniture and flooring in a space with black walls and the contrast will speak volumes. See for yourself...
