Down Pipe - a Perfect Dark Gray

  
 
Check out my dark side.
It's Down Pipe and I love it.
We used it on one large wall in the lobby of my husband's new/old office.
The building was built in the early 1920's as our town's original post office, so we wanted to incorporate a nod to the history of the building. 
 
 You can see I rolled up some of the building's original
blue prints and tucked them into a wire basket.
You might remember when I blogged about using these original
blue prints here and here
 Here's a glance at the lobby 'before'.
A little bland, there, wasn't it? 
 I really like how this light, distressed piece looks against the dark wall. 
?
We framed and stacked some blue prints in the adjacent conference room.
And painted the conference room ceiling Down Pipe, too.
Made a huge difference.
 
 
Big thanks to Bill Bates and Barry McElreath of Antiques on Augusta for helping me through.  
Down Pipe is their go-to and they knew it was just what I needed.
 
C'mon over to the dark side...I'd highly recommend it.

my home away from home







It had been too long since I visited my good friends Bill and Barry at Antiques on Augusta in Greenville, SC. Those guys are amazing. I took a couple of quick shots recently of one special little corner. Bill and Barry commissioned a local artist to paint a few large canvases for a design project last year. Now they are in the shop on display. Awesome dark and moody colors in a scene depicting the low country south; and so dramatic looking in this corner. And that linen-covered custom headboard with oversized nail heads?      
I may move in.
