Here's a pic of our den, it's painted in a 50/50 mix of BM Aura matte finish Black and BM Aura matte Bittersweet Chocolate. Trim is C2 Milk Mustache mixed in BM Aura semi gloss. Sorry, no finished pics, we painted this winter but haven't done anything since painting. The plan is to recover our existing couch in a wide taupe and ivory stripe linen fabric and use red accents. We'll see when we have the do-re-mi and the energy. The room gets east and north light.

Good luck-

WOW- it's very striking! It's definitely making me more and more tempted. My living room gets east and north light as well.

Thanks for posting this! If anyone else has any pics I'd really appreciate seeing them to help me make a final decision!

I love dark brown rooms with white trim.
Go to google images and type in dark brown painted rooms.

I pulled up a lot of pictures.

Found this old gardenweb thread on google images

Here is our morning room. It is Belgian Chocolate an Olympic paint color made up in BM regal matte. We have 12 ft ceilings and a wide cream border ( I color matched melted vanilla icecream to get the right cream for all trim) . There are more pics of this room in my albums if you want to see more. I get tons of compliments on this room.

My downstairs bathroom is chocolate brown and white, it is a terrible picture but I love the colors.

Sandypowder your room is gorgeous. I have loved black rooms since 96', now everyone does, shoot. But maybe black will be good for resale, no?

Good looking room Sandy!

Also search the kitchen forum for jbrodie's kitchen. She did chocolate brown with white trim...it's GORGEOUS!
