Also this post on "black" is right on.

I love it, and it is definately the focal point of the room. Since then I have added pieces of furniture I have painted black. I accent with all the other colors. Thanks for sharing such an inspirational blog.

I enjoyed the coziness of the dark, saturated color but was ready for a change. I especially like how black looks against the wood of the antique desk in one of your pictures. I think it's a classic color and can never go out of style. I also painted my kitchen island black like you.

It was our first house and we finished part of the basement. Everyone thought we were NUTS til they saw it then LOVED it! The ceiling almost disappeared. Now, in our guest room we have a black wall and in front of that wall sits a very large bookcase that Mr. S. made. All the objects on the shelves look so much better against the black. I also have touches of black all over the house. I love it! This was a great post.
