Moody

We've run the gamut this week: Sassy, Quirky, Bubbly...

Now Moody.

Sometimes a dark and moody room is just what is called for. Hey, just because it's dark, doesn't mean it's gloomy!

Sometimes, you just gotta give in to the Dark Side.

I *like* it.

    I am a huge huge fan of black. I like a little infused in each space. But for me, I've learned that I prefer it as a secondary color rather than the primary color. These rooms are divine, but not for me.

    I love ALL of these rooms! Especially the second one with the vintage looking rug. Can I move in?

    I haven't been a huge fan of the darker rooms, but I LOVE that kitchen with the pops of purple and pink. It's so pretty.

    I love a dark room. Not every room in the house mind you, but some retreat that has a completely different feel. Really love that first kitchen. The dark side, lol.

    Dark and moody, kinda like me today. hahaha.. great images. I love the dark paint and look to the rooms. It gives the rooms an edge of glamour. That first bathroom is so chic.

    I love the 1st and 3rd! You're absolutely right! Just because it's dark and moody doesn't mean it has to be gloomy!

    I love a lot of the rooms...especially the KW one and the mirrored kitchen that I believe belongs to Bagley Mishika.

    If only my version of moody looked this good! Great pics! The first one reminds me of a bathroom in a client's OFFICE that is completely black (not this kind of classy black either) with a black toilet! His version is not so chic and very 80's!

    I do like going dark!! Especially in an office and kitchen!! The lighting is much more serene and comfy!
    That last bedroom is gorgeous!! That leather headboard..dark blue walls, frames and lamp! Gorgeous!

    These are totally hip. I hope I have the guts to go dark in at least one of the rooms of my house.

    Is it wrong to say that I would sell my soul for that kitchen and that closet? Probably. But I would!
