I see a white trim and I want to paint it black. I've been planning my next project for months, tackling the disjointed entry foyer in my circa 1890 home, and brushstroke by brushstroke, it will go goth with time. Just as the Victorian's were obsessed with mourning, I too will drench the room in dreary decadence as much as I can (on the teeniest budget possible). One day there will be tile and pretty paper, but at least for now...I've got paint.
