Black and White done right!

When designing with black and white, always be sure to add enough texture, dimension and material interest. If this isn't done the room and/or your outfit will fall flat! These examples are spot on. {I adore this final shot}. Hope you are having a great week.

    I recently decided to do all black and white (and charcoal gray) for my living room, after years of a lot of color. It's just timeless and sophisticated!

    Those zig zag tights are soooo cute! I want those for my daughter!
