Black and White


and the color in-between. I love the interplay of positive and negative, black + white create.

{I need to figure out the name and maker of the fabric on these wing chairs! Maybe I'll email Thomas Smythe myself!}




How's your week going? Is it insane?? or is that just me?

    Nice post! I have a cat that looks just like that! Only Sidney's pretty pink nose is usually dirty because he's always sticking it where it doesn't belong.

    I think I read somewhere that the fabric is Oscar de la Renta? Not 100% on that one though!

    The fabric is by Oscar De La Renta I believe. I saw it in a Domino mag about 3 years ago.

    Hope you have a wonderful night Love,

    Wonderful post. I am almost certain the b and white fabric on the wing chairs is Clarence Hiuse. If not, they have a very, very similar pattern.

    I will never, ever get sick of black and white. It may be the one and only thing I go back to over and over again.
