At home: Go ahead, paint your world black by Mary Cadden
USA Today - October, 2007 - Life Section

Black is coming out of the shadows and into the design spotlight. The darkest of hues - once more Gothic chic than très chic - is extremely versatile. "It is every style - classic, traditional, modern - a little bit of everything," says Rosie Amodio, editor of In Style Home. Amodio shares the basics of decorating in black with USA TODAY.
