matte black on a monday


Check out our new "It's Monday, but... it's ok!" header! What do you think? I have decided to spark up the daily posts with these fun headers made by yours truly! There will be a new one every day and they will change with the seasons. I hope you enjoy them!

Some designers or home creatives are fearful of brown and black, while others are fearful of white on white. I believe there is always space for new design rules, this means we are allowed to break them! One interior belief we are going to break today is black, "a coat of matte black paint hides a multitude of sins." Tired, battered furniture suddenly seems alive and edgy with a coat of matte black. Gloss finishes, on the other hand, draw attention to any small imperfections, such as chips and nicks. For those internationals try, Benjamin Moore's Ben Waterborne Interior Paint, which is a low-VOC, 100-percent acrylic latex (ideal for painting furniture) in a flat finish in Universal Black. For those in Australia try Taubmans endure.
