  2. I was amazed at the dining room. I never thought I would like the black but I do with the wood. Thanks for the inspiration

  4. Black is so elegant and goes with many different styles. Great choices it really shows how you shouldn't be afraid of black in your home... it does not make you look like a vampire!

  5. A touch of black is wonderful and can add a bit of casual drama. I have black kitchen chairs with stained wood seats. When I had a french style antique table refinished recently, the top & legs were stained to match the chair seats and just the table skirt was painted black. Love all of your "collection" posts!

  8. great ideas, but when you find old furniture to redo by painting it, howdo you know you are not ruining a very valuable piece of furniture woth thousand if it were refinished as original?

    1. If you suspect it might be valuable, then consult an expert first!
