Black Bedroom Accent Wall

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

OK, I still subscribe to my weird moratorium on accent walls. I just hate them. It’s not reasonable, it’s not intellectual, it’s not a personal thing against your accent wall, it’s just a gut-hatred kind of thing I can’t explain. The one and only accent wall color I will allow in the house is black (or maybe a great gray, which – come on, is really just a light black).

I keep fussing over the guest bedroom as we get ready to paint it and I think we may have to go with a glossy black accent wall behind the headboard. I’m having commitment issues with painting the whole small room really super dark, but I love the idea of just a touch deep shiny black for that WOW dramatic contrast thing when you turn the corner into the bedroom.

This may all go horribly awry.

WTF

What is this some sort of crazy abstract painting?
A light installation?
A sculpture in progress?

RAAAWWWRRRR!

It’s the old randomly placed mailbox hole.

The boy ripped out the old mailbox slot so that we can patch the interior bit of wall in the guest bedroom. There was a bunch of trash and black widows living in there – eeewww. We have a mailbox on the street so this bit of nostalgia is now defunct and a bit too breezy and disgusting to keep around.

We are trying to figure out how to patch this bad boy up so that there isn’t a large gaping peep hole looking directly into the guest bedroom. Anyone want to stay over? I swear that one weird neighbor won’t stop by and watch you sleeping…

I got it I got it I got it

Oops.

I have another couch.

The color is much different in person than the craigslist picture led me to believe. It’s a bit of a deeper blue/gray. It is in PERFECT condition. I never really have anything in PERFECT condition. It’s nice, but scary.

I have to totally redo the den now.

I’m debating on whether I should I sell my white couch. I may have to live with this colorful sofa for a week and then decide…
