Black Magic

Everyone seems to consider black walls just a trend but by the looks of these chic noir interiors, I'd say they are on the way to becoming a classic design hue. I am especially loving the black magic look of the dark kitchens and libraries. It's clear that black isn't just for Halloween anymore! Enjoy!

So what is everyone dressing up as this Halloween? I always thought this would be a cute costume but I could never find masks that looked exactly the same. Oh well, maybe next year! Happy Halloween!

Do you like oak dining tables? In Belgium you can see a lot of variations of them.
We see rectangular, round or ovalshaped tables. They can be light or dark tinted.
And they look all very solid. You will notice also a lot of variation in legs and basement. And they can be made of new (sometimes antiquated) or recuperated wood.
The wood can be unfinished or bleached or even dark tinted.
The dining tables are seen in classic even as in contemporary interiors.
