#126...from basic bathroom to black

I recently helped my client Scott turn his bathroom into a dramatic gallery of artwork. He collects vintage book covers and posters from the 1950's, and wanted to display them in his half bath.

Since the artwork is so colorful, I felt that painting the bathroom black would give it a dramatic, yet neutral background to show off the pieces. We chose Black Onyx by Benjamin Moore for the walls, and framed the artwork in both black and white frames, purchased during Aaron Brother's "buy one frame, get one for a penny sale"....which happens twice a year. Scott also had some vintage cologne from the 1960's, complete with instructions on "how to charm the ladies" that we displayed in a shadow box near the sink. This was a fun, unique project with a one-of-a-kind result.
