Catching up and Black walls

So I've been a little MIA these days on the blog, but it has been a busy couple of weeks.  I had a great time volunteering at the ASID sample sale last week.  Even though I didn't have time to do any shopping and share pictures with you guys, it was still fun to see all the great discounts there.  Hopefully next year I'll actually be able to do some shopping there.  I'm going to start saving NOW!

My mom hosted her first jewelry show this past weekend as well and it was so fun to help her out and ooh and ahh over the beautiful jewelry she designs.  The sale was quite the success and hopefully I can start to share some of the jewelry on this blog someday soon!  She really has gorgeous stuff!


On a totally unrelated topic, what do you all think about black walls?  I saw this picture from Canadian House and Home and I am really loving it.  I think in a space with lots of windows, or in a bedroom if you like things dark in there (I do), a black wall could be really fun and moody.  Obviously, white bedding and other light accessories is a must to keep the room from looking like a dungeon. 

Just yesterday I was checking out Pottery Barn online and saw this gorgeous star pendant similar to the one in the photo above and fell in love.  I wasn't sure if I wanted to get it or not, but seeing it in this photo has me thinking I definitely should!

So what do all of you think about black walls?  I'd love t hear your thoughts!
