paint it black!

i'm stuck day dreaming of all the sweet things i can put in my first place till closing next month. i have no idea what it will feel like once i get those keys and it's all mine, but i can't wait.
how about this re-upholstered beauty from jayson home & garden? it's only 3 grand out of my budget for a sofa but great inspiration. i have some great baroque style mirrors and accents i plan to paint black for that frilly look.

i'm not sure where i grabbed this image, but i really want to paint my cabinets in my tiny kitchen and replace the counter top. if i painted them bright it would balance out the white appliances that come with the place.

i also really like these manufactured stone counter tops.
however, if i painted the cabinets bright i'd do a black counter top but if i paint the cabinets white to blend with the appliances it will be all about that bright green counter top! or bright green counter top and paint the cabinets the same purple as i plan for the wall. oh so may ideas, i really don't know what to do with it yet.






these images came from meg matthews' "old bedroom", found them in a search but they are amazing! my condo has a claw foot tub in the all white bathroom right now. there's also wainscoting to about mid way up the wall, so with some paint it will go goth chic in no time with just a few accents.

i'm just so excited. i get to pick paint, colors, decorate, and stay that way. i can invest in decorating because i won't just be moving in a year to the next rental.
