Accent Walls

We always want to try something new in terms of paint in each room. For example, we painted the two opposite walls in red for our living room and all blue for the bathroom. This time, we picked another BOLD color. Instead of painting all walls in the same color, we picked the adjacent walls to be the accent walls. Before the color is disclosed, here are some pinterest ideas that inspire our choice:

Charles started the painting process on his winter break. He first got the trim done; and then the ceiling:

So, surprised! Here are the dark accent walls with white trim and the windows! It’s not pure black, more like dark gray. The sunlight hits the white walls and reflects to the dark gray walls so the room doesn't seem to be too dark. We like it. Little en likes it too!
