I painted my son's room black!

Something about teens and the color black. I wouldn't want a black room, but kids love it. I'm a pastel type person.

hi rocketj1...ohh i see...if the results was good then why not...right now i cant imagine or remember yet of any situations that turn out good after...

That sounds like a very interesting combination and I am sure that it balances out perfectly, right? Well I've never had my room painted, but have had other family member's had their room painted. Lol, I've helped paint a room I think, but don't remember. When and if we get our own place, I think we'll most likely paint our room blue like it is now, My fiance likes the color. Now other parts of the house will be varying shades of brown, or maybe red.

Black? It sounds quite absurd to have a room painted black. That is one dark and sad color that I really don't prefer. I love bright and happy colors always. However, it seems you have been creative enough to bring in the best trimmings and combination so it will look great. It must not be as dark as I was imagining.

hello rocketj my eight year old son wants his room re-painted as well, and he wants his room to be painted black as well. i think that he said something about his trim being red. whatever. it sounds like that the room that you-all painted like that for your son turned out really well. i guess that when i get around to Spring Cleaning each room of the house, i will have to get some black paint and have at it. his bedroom is going to be easy to re-paint, just three walls to paint in there and also just around the window on the other wall. the window is set in the middle of the wall, and on each side of it, is a built in closet and book shelves above that on each side. so i have to think about what color that i would paint them when i go to re-paint his bedroom. i have already painted the ceiling white with one layer of paint. i will probably re-do that again as well. thanks so much for sharing the news about the black paint on the bedroom walls like that and it looking nice. take care and have a beautiful evening.

It is nice to be able to see the finished product before you do something like that. I certainly would look through magazines and the internet to see if I liked it. If it looks good, go for it. I bet your son is pleased too.

All the time. My husband tells me things that are good ideas and I just do not think so but he is usually right.

Wow! I have a lad who would like a black bedroom. I would never have thought about doing it like that. Do you have any pictures of the room? It sounds really good.

Hi rocketj1! I am sure it looks amazing! My husband's cousin is onto black and white theme for his condo unit and it really looks great. He has his living room walls painted in black and have those special kind of lights that added drama to his home. His sofa is a mixture of pure white and black and white prints and all his throw pillows are all in black. His kitchen and dining room is painted in white and all his plates and kitchen stuffs are all in black. very elegant! Just amazing! Take care and blessings to you! lovelots..faith

my first thought was, you crazy girl, lol. after i kept reading your description it sounds right pretty. main thing, how does son like it??

YOU...are the coolest mom ever. when we had printable walls i begged mom to let me paint my walls black...but she wouldn't let me. she told me that it was too depressing of a color and i never got my dream. Can i adopt you as a mom? im 28 and take care of myself but still :P

Yes, but then I am hoping you are not renting, repainting that room white will be a pain no one should have to deal with

I painted my whole house sunshine yellow, lime and strawberry red..it was really great..

I haven't seeing my daughter is only 7 weeks old. But my friends mom let them paint thier rooms the way they want. So one of them painted their room orange and has a permenant marker, and lets people sign her walls. Their mom believes that they should be able to express themselves in their own way.

That great! You can also add some glow-in-the-dark designs into the walls of your son's room

We once painted our room in two colors of orange and blue. I thought it would have looked terrible, but once it was done, it didn't look too bad at all. That was way back in the 70s when colorful rooms were the in-thing.. But now, all our rooms are various shades of white. Black? I can imagine that done in the right way, it would look quite cool - Derek

It's so nice that you did that; you're a very cool mum! I think that it's nice for a child (or anyone) to be able to express themselves through the design in their bedroom. Expressing yourself is good and healthy. And I love the idea of the black walls. It sounds really unusual and arty. I can't think of anything I've done that I originally thought wouldn't work like that, but I'm sure that I must have done over my lifetime.. I can think of things that went the other way though; like haircuts I thought would look good, recipes I thought would work well, etc. etc.. lol! Lots of things which seemed like a good idea at the time..

it's christmas season ..to get remember you should painted with the color of gray and red and not black..is black is the favorite color of your son? black color is too corporate and professional..or you have painted it in a blue color..like sky blue color..so that it will look so attactive in a younger eyes..

hehe ,rocketj1, your story sounds interesting. en, let me think for a while, "initially horrible, but then loved it "ha, the birth of my son. when i am not a mom, i saw lot of terrible things about a kid. so having a kid, my onw kid i can not imagine. on the third year of my marriage ,my baby came, i became a new mom, but i felt so happy, the dread was disappeared.

bad means (a better do) it seems likely it is horrible to do in fact it is real worth to do because you have never done it before
