Black It Is

Colour Lovers

Thanks to everyone who counseled me last Friday.  Whew.  At one point in the day, the score was tied, 8-8.  Yes I was keeping score the way Mr. watches his fantasy football updates.  Then suddenly black made a surge and pulled out ahead of gray.  Thankfully just as I was about to leap into oncoming traffic, my published friend Kat spoke up like Kazoo, Fred Flinstone's conscience and said:

Here's my 2 cents, for months now you've been showing us drool worthy photos of bathrooms with black walls. It is the look you have in your head and I think that if you don't at least "try" the black walls...(you can always repaint them gray if you don't like the look)...you will always wonder if you should have gone with black!

Sure it will be a little dark, but it will be dramatic too and I "think" that is what you love about the whole black bathroom concept. And you just need to find the right black that will work....

Many of you agreed with Kat.  Thanks ya'll!  And to those who disagreed, sorry to disappoint, but thank you just the same for sharing your opinion.  I love blogging for this reason, among many. 

Here is the update.  I have glossy BM black, the truest black there is.  Erica recommended that I go glossy to continue the flow of the black tile and I agree.  Today I will sand and paint.  These glossy walls must be smooth or every flaw will show.  The blue and white shower curtain was not working so I returned it.  For now we will use our white curtain.  By the way, has anyone tried the 84" shower curtain from Target?  It has received mixed reviews and has shrinkage issues so I'm a little leery. 

 Oh and did anyone notice the red and white striped rug in the first image?  I posted a while back about red striped rugs and they really do add a little "bam", no?  It does look nice with the clean black and white.

Enjoy your day.  I'm off to sand...
