That red and black looks simply sublime.
Thank you! Yeah, I love that color mix. And since the whole room is semi-gloss red (2 walls & door/drawer-fronts on the wall of built-ins), matte black (1 wall & the frame of the built-ins) and an eggshell finish grey/silver (ceiling), I wanted the furniture to match the room. I couldn't find a red spray that matches EXACTLY the color on the walls, and for some reason, couldn't get the wall paint to adhere well to the primed wood (and couldn't get the wood to really like getting a decent coating of the primer to adhere either), I went for something close enough.
I still need to re-upholster the cushions of the couch to match the color theme for the room tho. And I've been looking for a red leather armchair as well as a reading chair.
