B recently made a desk for himself out of salvaged materials and painted the legs a chic, glossy black. We haven't used glossy black in our home other than aforementioned desk legs but I'm really liking the strong statement it can make in a space, especially when paired with white walls, wood floors, and minty green. Glossy black has always seemed a little too serious for my tastes but it certainly doesn't have to be. The glamour of glossy black is kind of growing on me. How about you?

I just painted glossy black on my front door for a pop with some shine. I really like it as well and have never used it previously. Fun to try new things.
ReplyDeleteLOVE it! The vanity and cabinet in my bathroom were hideous when I bought the place, but I sanded them down and painted them glossy black. They look perfect in my bathroom, which now has white walls with glossy black trim. :-)
ReplyDeleteI am on the fence. It looks fantastic in the pics you chose, but I don't think it would work in my house. Post a picture of the desk!
ReplyDeleteThat staircase is amazing!!
ReplyDeleteI love that staircase!
ReplyDeleteI've always felt that glossy black is too glamourous for me & my lifestyle. But a pop here and there might be just enough to feel fancy without being pretentious.
It's been AGES since I've left you a comment, but I've loved reading about your wedding. I hope you're doing well! xoxo
That staircase is ridiculously amazing! I've always dreamed of a spiral staircase... so lovely and charming. Thanks for sharing these pretty details!

ReplyDeleteThat staircase would scare me to death, but boy does it look cool.

wow! how instantly Bold, Gothic, and Glamorous it makes a room
ReplyDeleteWhat amazing use of black. It really makes those other amazing colors pop. Some really great interiors found here!
ReplyDeletethat first vignette is simply amazing. pretty sure I'd wind up with a wild case of vertigo...but its gorgeous from below!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love gloss black trim. Although I've never used the color in my own home, we painted my sister-in-law and brother-in-law's office (in their 1920's craftsman cottage) a rich, bright apple green with black trim and doors. It's such a fabulous room!
