Seeing Things in Black and White
As any dear Reader knows, I looooooooooooove color. BUT, I want you to know yours truly can also appreciate the beauty of black & white. I found some gorgeous images for you:
Tile, yes — but doable as a decorative technique with stencils and handpainted elements. I do like the pairing with the bold wall finish. This was profiled in Phoenix Home & Garden.
(Below) The following three images pair black & white with gold tones. Very pretty.

(Below) Love the glossy black wood flooring paired with the distressed white wood ceiling. Also, the mix of furniture styles and the art chosen. The nicely designed space was profiled in Phoenix Home & Garden. (Love that mag, seriously. Fantastic images.)

(Below) A collage of inspired black and white fabric patterns on the left and a unique laundry room on the right featured in, yessssss, Phoenix Home & Garden. The laundry room can be similarly recreated using The Stencil Library’s print stencils.
Tell me, would you personally prefer being surrounded by color or the freshness of seeing in black and white?

Hi Regina – black and white makes a great foil for a punch of color. My preference is not one over the other, but the contrast between the two that plays up both.

I’m redoing my daughter’s room right now in Black & white. It’s been fun. It is definitely a clean more modern look for us. Great post.
