Last month, I shared the tutorial for these DIY Ikea Hack Accordion Sconces with you guys but stated that along with the bedroom walls, they would be receiving a new color soon…
Bam! Matte black!
I wanted something a little more in line with the bedroom’s new decorating direction – a little more sophisticated, a little more glam. The other day I finally got around to giving the sconces a few coats of their new color.
At first, I grabbed a can of glossy black spray paint in the garage only to discover that it was mostly empty. I hate stopping in the middle of a project to run to the store, so I grabbed a can of chalkboard spray paint (affiliate link) I found in my paint stash. It ended up being the perfect choice because I absolutely love the smooth, matte finish!
I love these sconces so much more in black than I did before, especially since they echo the bedroom’s black doors. Slowly but surely, I think this room is headed in the right direction!
And I think Tina agrees…

so much better! love the black, but i still can't keep my eyes off the bed.
Thanks Cassie! 🙂
I love chalkboard paint used in non-chalkboard applications :). One of my favorite pinterest-found bathrooms is painted with chalkboard paint.
Me too! It has such a cool finish!
Tiny looks like such a queen on your bed! The black is beautiful, fabulous choice!

She's officially "Tiny Tina" so either one works 🙂
Thanks girl!
Oh lala!! They definitely up that glam vibe!
Thanks Trisha!
Love them! They are such a contrast to "my" bed. And Tiny Tina sure is a little cute model.
Thank you Julia! 😉 And yes, she is such a little diva!
I love how Tiny Tina is looking at us like, 'Yes, you did this all for me. I know.' The matt black is ace, love it!! Eeeek! xxx
I think I can say that she does like the bedroom so much more in pink – she's spending a lot more time napping in here now! 😉 Thank you Kimberly!
I love the matte black with the pink, gold, and wood tones in there. Don't be shocked when you get home and it all disappeared.
Wait, how did you know that I wasn't home when you wrote this comment?! I've got my eye on you! 😉
Those are SO cool! I love the black chalkboard finish. with you gold bed. And Tina is a beauty!
Thank you Gwen! I'm so into the pink + gold + black combo right now, it's in danger of taking over my entire house! 😀
The pink walls… AMAZING. Looove how the room is coming along so far, and you're making me still contemplate those leopard pillows- they're perfect!
Thank you Amy! I LOVE them in combination with the banana leaf print you used, so my vote is yes! 🙂
Wait, what? There are sconces in the room? All I could focus on was that amazing bed. JK, they looks great in black!
Haha! Thank you!
