Glamorous spaces with dark walls

FREE IMAGES Painting a wall a dark color can be a risky design move, but like any risk, the outcome can be fabulous!

This black wall prettily sets off the furnishings in the room.

Break away from the white cabinet trend by using black.  It really makes this kitchen look chic.

If you don't have it in you to paint your walls a dark color - try going dark on the floor.

Do you have any dark hued walls or rooms in your home?

Deliciously chic and glamorous eye candy!

FREE IMAGES I've been running around like a chicken with it's head cut off these past few days preparing for my baby sis's baby shower, being a freelance web designer, trying to unpack and get settled into our new home, and wiping up puddles of puppy pee-pee.  Right now I just need some gorgeous eye candy to remind me that all my hard work CAN and WILL pay off!

This is actually an office! I love the look - and that wallpaper would look great in my home office!

Canopy beds always say luxe to me.

Gold, cream, gray, and a touch of pink...and horses...what else could a girl want!?!

Happy Friday - bright and cheerful spaces!

Mmm...fresh produce.  There's no better feeling than cooking dinner using fresh veggies you bought at the local farmers market.  My parents sell the veggies and lamb they grow at their farm, Chestnut Creek Farm, in Carroll County, Maryland every Saturday.  They work full time jobs than spend every night and weekend working out in the gardens.  (It'd be awesome if you gave them a little love by Liking their farm page on facebook!)
