The other, and often easier route, is to find just the right paint color. This room offers a very modern take on ebonizing, with the bed and the side tables showing off the beauty and brilliance that is the ebony look.
How to get the ebony effect. There are many different ways to ebonize timber, from simple to extremely complex. One popular way is to take a torn-up steel wool pad and some rusty nails. Soak them in white vinegar for a few days in an airtight container, then strain the vinegar well for a dark tan stain. Apply several coats to the wood using a foam brush, lightly sanding between coats.
