Lovely Painted Rooms

So I loved all of these rooms, thought they were so pretty and happy. And, the main thing they all had in common was the focal point really being the paint on the walls. They really look great, bold and well put together.

Love this bedroom :)

From the Personal File.

I am loving this breakfast area. This is a lot more mid-century modern than my usual taste, but I am just sooo drawn to so many different things.
1. My absolute favorite aspect of this room are the walls. How gorgeous is that silver, gold, rose gold color blocking effect it has going on. It is so rich and lavish.
2. That coffee table base is sick. It's so modern, and with that granite counter top, its amazing. When it comes to table bases, the easy thing to do is to throw a glass topper on it, so this is unexpected and fresh.
3. Those chairs! I love how gorgeous that wood looks with the high-gloss coating. The fabric on the seats are perfect, and I am glad that its a solid and not a pattern.

Bravo!!

Lacquered Walls

How cool does it sound to have a high-gloss, lacquered look --- on your walls. My best friend is in the process of having her dresser lacquered in a high-gloss, like shellacked, and oh has it been a process for us all! But how insane would it be to give that slick, car-like texture to your walls!? I think it would be brilliant, stunning, super glamorous, forward, and chic. Here are some great examples for you to enjoy, let me know what you think!
