I really, really enjoy dark chocolate. Don't offer milk or white chocolate to me because I don't want to seem ungrateful or snobby, but I plain don't like it. Just a few years ago people HATED brown in decor, then smart marketing experts started calling brown, Chocolate Mousse, Mocha Cocoa and Swiss Chocolate. Problem solved. Chocolate goes with cool or warm-toned colors. Do you have any chocolate in your decor? The teapot is a great example of chocolate brown with blue. The bedding below could have been inspired by this dessert in caramel, dark chocolate, milk chocolate and white chocolate! Now if you'll excuse me while I have an ooey-gooey dark chocolate "fit!"

Janean,
Dark chocolate is the one that is good for you too! So you can enjoy a peace every day knowing you are doing something good for yourself.
I am off to work! Have a beautiful day.

I love all black, brown dark and...white too.
Morning sweetie! My problem is that I adore all kinds of chocolate, even peppermint bark made with very dark chocolate for breakfast!
I love to add touches of cocoa to trims or ceilings and talk about adding an anchor to a room.. just toss in some brownie color items and poof.. it makes the room sing! Like everyone should after having a brownie.
Enjoy your day
with love,
Olivia
Oh yeah. Got chocolate here. And none of that wimpy milk chocolate either. Deep dark yummy chocolate in the bedroom and master bath. Luckily there's no calories in comforters or showercurtains.
MMMMM....this entry was scrumptious! I LOVE chocolate. I could eat it everyday at any time.
Thank you for visiting my little corner of the world. My stop here was quite delicious. :)
Cheers~

Chocolate is HEAVENLY! Especially DARK chocolate. It's my fave, too. I love it with coconut, caramel, or just plain ol' dark chocolate is fine, too. I'm not picky. ;)
As for chocolate in my decor, I can't think of ANY! I love browns but when we built this house I was just so into brights and deep reds taht I never thought of browns. Perhaps I should do something about that....
Chocolate colors are going to be central to decorating in our new cottage! So I am glad that it is now in style.
I won't turn down any kind of chocolate, but dark is my favorite!
Dark chocolate for me too, but I'm not at all fond of chocolate in a room, on the bed on the walls etc. It reminds me too much of a hotel, and I spend too much timein those to want the decor at home.
You are tempting me, today!!
Hugs, andrea
I haven't been able to become a dark chocolate girl, but love the color! Jackie
thank you for joining my site. I do love visiting yours.
As you can see by my pictures of my home I am a pink person inside and out but I do love the chocolate with the pink. lol
Very nice pictures

oooh, yum! definitely dark chocolate! Have a great day!
I lurve dark chocolate. So much so that my husband knows that's the only candy I like for holidays. My bedspread is ivory with a brown toile print on it and I fell in love with it the minute I saw it at Target. I couldn't stop thinking about it. It makes me happy every time I walk into my bedroom!
Mmmm, I love chocolate! In decorating and to eat. That teapot is gorgeous. Thanks for stopping by for a visit earlier.
I love it all-milk, dark, truffled, marbled, mousse etc... Can you tell I do love chocolate. My bedroom is even done in chocolate bedding, it is very cozy in the winter.
Thanks for stopping by for a visit and leaving your nice comment. I did fall on our concrete walkway, that is definitely an OUCH. I love visiting your blog, I will be back soon.
Have a blessed day,
Hi Janean,
We recently painted our powder room a deep dark chocolate brown. The room has high ceilings with a mirror over the pedestal sink that goes to the ceiling and the chocolate brown is the most beautiful back drop. I love it so much, I'm thinking of using the same color in our bedroom and keeping all of the bedding shades of white.
We have brown leather furniture but I haven't really decorated with Chocolate in this house. We do plan to do a Chocolate colored wall in my husbands office. I am not a fan of dark chocolate but my husband is. I do love milk and white. When we first got married our very first bathroom was done in those colors: brown/blue It was so beautiful and my sister had her bridesmaid dresses, very silky, in those same colors. They were stunning. (we didn't call it chocolate but it was)
Hi Janean,.. I have chocolate all over my house, in my Nature rooms, our dark woods, pillows, you name it... brown transferware... I also have chocolate in my candy dishes and usually in my mouth! xoxo Julie Marie
Thanks for stopping by my blog today!
I love any kind of chocolate, but dark chocolate is my favorite! I absolutely love, love, love, pumpkin bars with dark chocolate chips!
Have a wonderful day!
They ALL look yummy to me;)
My gosh Janean...what gorgeous images. I'm fresh out of chocolate here at my house, so a couple of these pics were just mean my friend. I love dark too, but will eat anything.
hugs
All of these look de-lish! I'm a huge fan of chocolate brown...the food, the color...all of it.
I too love dark chocolate, 70% cocoa or more is just right. No chocolate decore on my house but i am thinking of making cushions, it will go quite nicely with the cream of the walls. Thanks for the inspiration.
Janean,
I cannot believe that I am not a follower on your blog! Well, I am now. I'm so glad you came over to visit me, so now I know about you.
I'll be back often to visit.
I just love dark chocolate of any kind. I love touches of it in decor, but not alot.
The bedroom is lovely. Well better go get some chocolate.
Sissie
Seriously. Are you trying to give me a heart attack of OOOOOO THAT'S AWESOME?!
Cuz it is!
Purrr.

Yum and I love the chocolate colors in the bedding and teapot!
The teapot is so unusual and so pretty!
Miss Bloomers
Love that color also. That bedding is to just die for!
I'm digging the drink, YUMMY!
I have an issue with black -- I am not sure mybe because it don't look good on me-- I like a littte splash of black but I am into brown colors in all different shades -- but I love color earthy color too...
but Guess what I have to have splashes of soft blues and purple..and believe this even red -- gotta find that just right color of barn right -- I know I am hooked a finding a farm - wink! Lol...
Janean,
I love dark chocolate... the darker the better! like 80% is good! A few years ago we repainted and decorated parts of our house and we used that blue you have here and brown and we love it!
Blessings!
Gwen
