SchappacherWhite Ltd. No worries about committing to a dark color since you can paint over it.
Dark colors actually expand spaces, the dark wall in that kitchen blew out that side and expanded it visually. The paint is by Benjamin Moore, they can assist you with required primer incase you ever decide to repaint. We paint at least one wall dark in every project.

Rebekah Zaveloff I'd guess 11 to 12 ft. wide.

Ronique Gibson This is chalkboard paint used to paint the wall. If you tape off your sidewalls/trim/baseboards with painters tape (blue tape), you should be fine.

Use drop cloths on the floor and over your big pieces of furniture, and try and keep your paint brush clean (meaning no drips down the side as you "cut in" or paint around the trim.

Good luck!

Annie Thornton As someone who as already attempted a chalkboard accent wall, I speak from personal failure with painters tape, so I have gathered a few improved tips on how to get a clean line for your wall color. One technique still utilizes blue painters tape to mask the edges. Mask a straight line with the tape, but allow a 1/8"-1/16" gap between the wall to be painted and the painters tape. With a cauking gun and paintable cauk, rub a thin film from the tape into the corner of the wall to be painted and let dry before painting. If this sounds too labor intensive, another technique is to cut the paint edge with a stiff bristle brush before using the roller. Cut in the paint edge an inch or two, then go for the roller. Happy painting!

Paul Anater That floor looks like a maple plank floor, although it could be a different species with an opaque stain applied to it. Any flooring store will have samples that resemble this one.

Tami Timmons I have been intrested some in the wood look like tiles...in the photo, it almost seems like there are darker grout lines in between the planks, so I thought it could possibly be that type of flooring. I think the idea is great with the wood look tile idea, but getting the grout color just right is what could make or break the look. Regardless of what it is, I love when the floors are either a bit lighter or darker (espresso) than the normal browner tones most homes have installed.
