I'm loving the gorgeous black walls in these dining rooms paired with warm wood, crisp white or ivory, and some cozy books and art on the walls.

The most gorgeous room I've ever seen was a bathroom in an Italian palace. The room was circular and the entire space was painted black with tiny colored flowers covering the domes ceiling. I still think about it more than I probably should.

Hope NYC is a blast! Good luck this weekend :)
