paint it black

i just finished painting the ceiling of my teeny tiny vestibule black and installed my new spotlight.
i love that the light is more directional--it gives the dramatic feel i was hoping for.


i am a little weirded out my the pink streaks from the bulb---i am trying to figure out if i can buy another  style of this bulb (an M16) to avoid them? feel free to chime in if you know more about these type of bulbs than i do!

as you may well know, i am a fan of black.
in fact, just over 6 years ago, i painted the walls of my study black. (benjamin moore onyx. my all-time favorite black) it was my favorite room in this house.
you can see the before + after of this space here.

i also painted my kitchen cabinets and interior doors black.
(you can see before/after pictures of the kitchen here)

here are a few of my other favorite spaces with black...

are you getting tired of seeing black walls? how about black doors?
or do you feel they are classic enough to last through the recent trends?
