Day 489: Happy Halloween


Spooky, creepy and scary isn't really me, but I do love these dark, dark walls in the home of J.Crew creative director Jenna Lyons' 1890 Brooklyn brownstone.


Chalkboard paint in the master bedroom? Hey -- it works!


Erika pointed out that Jenna sprayed the new brass fixtures with salt water to give them a patina to match the reclaimed herringbone floor (swoon!). What a clever idea!

Have a safe and happy Halloween, everyone!

Love the gray walls, white trayed ceiling and the hints of black and yellow! Gorgeous! Who would have thought - gray walls?

I love this look! I'm doing something similar with my dining room. The plan is gray walls with black chairs and table. A silver "chopping block turned bar" and traditional accent pieces to keep if from looking too modern (ornate white ceramic candlesticks, traditional glass chandelier, etc). :) Now I just have to find the time to do it!

This makes me really want to paint my bedroom and deep blue color!

I like dark walls too. Great creative director Jenna Lyons.
