In particular the Mario Buatta room. It makes me reminisce back to my "chintz period" in the 80's. <BR/>JackieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04276018897812515763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-7194521608779143262007-08-20T19:29:00.000-04:002007-08-20T19:29:00.000-04:00I'm obsessed with Miles Redd's black kitchen!I'm obsessed with Miles Redd's black kitchen!Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05407826802369881532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-78345701022156702672007-08-20T18:23:00.000-04:002007-08-20T18:23:00.000-04:00Jennifer, so elegant as always!

A perfect green for a dramatic dining area -- "Arugula" by Sherwin-Williams; "Cactus Green" by Benjamin Moore and "Cottage Green" by Ralph Lauren. Strange co-incidence after reading the color picks by Spencer-Churchill! <BR/><BR/>Cheers!

I would use that color again -- or with a teastain glaze in a heart-beat! Or I would do another dining room in Black Satin by Benjamin Moore -- with a gold or silver ceiling.<BR/><BR/>Jan at Rosemary Cottage who buys lottery tickets always hoping for more rooms to decorate!
