    I painted my kitchen black pepper two year ago. Hesitant to go black but it is soft, classy and brings warmth to the room. The color grounds the back wall which is cabinets, black countertops and rusted brick backsplash to the wooden shelf laden with pottery and then windows. The solid wall has seasonal paintings displayed in antique frames. The ceiling has wooden beams with a whitewashed wood ceiling. Appliances are stainless along with a stainless top six foot open wooden island. Tile and vintage worn oriental style rugs is the flooring. I repaint rooms often but this combination may stay for a long while.
