This love seat's grey is not colour matched with the Queen size bed beside but, you can barely see the difference in real life! And, it works :)

Los Angeles based Interior Designer Erika Bruder wanted to transform an upstairs hallway into an art gallery in this year's Pasadena Showcase House. Collaborating with Fine Art Photography gallery PurePhoto, she used a Dunn-Edwards Molasses paint color on the walls to contrast the bright and contemporary fine art photography pieces. PurePhoto worked with Erika to face mount prints to acrylic for a "floating" feel of off of the wall. PurePhoto then framed the pieces in the darkest spaces in white wood gallery frames to lighten up the space. Photo Credit: Mike Kelley

My final 2 purchases were shelves to put my books and art pieces on. I had basically no money left in my budget, but I was able to get the green shelf from kijiji for $10, and the white shelf on sale from JYSK for $15. They are both intended to be wall-mounted shelves, but I just put them between the 2 sets of cabinets that I had. As you can see, the cabinets weren't exactly the same height, so I took a level, and once the shelf was level, measured the difference (2 1/4"). Then I made a wooden "bridge" (below, right) out of 2x2s and then painted it bright blue.
