We stayed at the Encore while we were in Vegas last weekend and I totally fell in love with the decor of the entire place, but particularly, the use of black trim in the rooms. It accentuated the taupe walls and houndstooth wallpaper so beautifully. I really wanted to paint all the trim in our dining room Benjamin Moore’s Night Shade, but was having trouble convincing Daryn that this was a good idea until he saw black trim in action in our room. I think the black and white stripes in the dining room would be set off so much more beautifully with black trim to outline them. Though I’m still considering the stripes a temporary fix until I can convince Daryn that we should install this wallpaper in black. So far he’ll allow it in the powder room, which I think is a step in the right direction. And while we’re on the subject of our powder room, we had a total breakthrough yesterday when he realized how high our ceilings are in there. He actually approached me to tell me how perfect a chandelier would look in there! Something I’ve been trying to convince him of since we moved in 3 years ago. But I won’t remind him of that, as long as I let him think it’s his idea I have a better chance of actually getting it.
