Paint it Black
Shading your walls in black may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you’re considering paint colors. But black has a daring all its own that can bring character and chicness to your space. “The result is both unexpected and incredibly sophisticated,” says Andrea Magno, a Benjamin Moore color and design expert.
“Black has an interesting effect on the walls of a room because the corners and shadows are obscured more than if a midtone or pastel color is used,” Magno says. “This can be used as a visual trick to give the space a less-defined appearance and can make a room feel a bit more expansive.”
Black walls can also bring coziness. “Dark walls coupled with dramatic lighting create an instant air of luxury and sumptuousness,” says Karen Howes, CEO and founder of London-based interior-design firm Taylor Howes.

Economist’s Outlook: Jobs Report
The following is NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun’s reaction to this morning’s U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) report on the employment situation in April and impact on housing market. “Fantastic news on the jobs market as abundant job openings are getting filled. Such conditions bhttp://bit.ly/2JH1OKDoost consumer confidence which further feeds the economy. Despite the hefty 263,000 net new job creation in April (and 2.6 million over the recent 12 months), essentially no jobs were added in the key housing sector where there is an acute housing shortage. Jobs in residential construction were reduced by 2,500 and grew by only 3,100 in residential contractor trade in April. For the economy to rise in a healthy balanced way over the long haul, an adequate housing supply is a must. More home construction of mid-priced homes are needed so that teachers, nurses, and police officers are able to live in the community in which they serve. For that to happen, residential construction jobs and residential contractors need to grow by close to half a million. There is no expectation for quick gains as construction job openings go unfulfilled. Expect housing shortage to be a major issue in the next year’s election.”
