    ALSO, I just uploaded a video for my Favorite White Paint Colors.

    I recently painted my bedroom a dark forest green walls & ceiling, it made my room look bigger & I sleep during the day sometimes so it's great with blockout curtains. I went light for carpet & curtains in natural tones. So in love with my space & so glad I was bold enough to try it XD. Also painted my living room all white but behind the tv & black tv unit I painted black chalkboard paint & it makes it blend in to the wall & you don't see the dvd player, antenna & cords as clutter as they disappear in the black.

    Great vid! So many ppl are afraid of going dark but as u mentioned dark colors recede, and look very dramatic, especially against white baseboards and light art. Having windows or good light in the room helps as well. I did my kitchen in black chalkboard paint against white cabinets years ago, it was fabu!

I did a creme wall and accented it with black but for some reason I seems to can't get the right shade colors. After watching your video, the lightbulb went on. Thank you so much. Black didn't make my room small. I ordered several plants. The room gives off a very sophisticated feel. If I can even say a sexy vibe. Once again, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

    All those colors are stunning! One of my biggest pet peeves is to here someone disregard dark colors because they think it will make their space seem smaller…. In most cases, as long as the room has some natural light, dark colors can really trick the eye and mind into the sense of space. Yet they also produce a cozy feel instead of the cold feel that some lighter colors bring. One of my all time favorite colors is Calligraphy by Behr, I’ve painted it in most of the different sheens with great results and I’ve painted it interior, exterior, and on furniture pieces. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and amazing style with all!

    I painted a sitting room wall a chartreuse green that was a wrong match in the discount bin of Lowes. I then made a design in white over it. I added a beige couch with a Kate Spade blue and gold accent lamp and a vintage round mirror. I added rich blue pillows and a fur throw. I followed it up with a fiddle fig and vintage finds. Most everything was thrifted and the paint ended up costing me around $4. The accent white paint I already had. Would love for you to see it finished!! You afe amazing and I love your videos!!

    I am probably a few months from doing the paint I want. Moving into our new house this week and I have thought of doing a deep moody charcoal in my office space or a deep matte blue/navy in there. Contrast with sharp whites and warm woods. I feel like it'd be the typical "guy" room but majority of my friends and family are way too scared to paint their rooms dark (including the ceiling). I want to see how that works. Add a mirror across from the window to help bring more light in and accentuate the space.

      Mickie Halpern Totally! That’s the thing about paint which feels obvy as I write this but it’s really about the space that it’s in. Depending on light, decor etc, the color can take on a totally different feeling. Plus, I think most paint looks waaaay darker on the wall than a tiny chip. 😘😘😘
