loves: black&white.


a few b&w tips from better home and gardens- a KD loves. see more how-to's here

"Be sure to balance large, medium, and small scale patterns with a few touches of plain black and white fabrics. Architectural details and interesting shapes keep a black-and-white palette from being boring. Even an all-white or beige room can benefit from a few well-placed dollops of black and white. Checked and striped fabrics make perfect companion prints for larger-scaled florals or toiles. Plain black and white fabrics are punctuated by a few small patterned pillows in a room that could be duplicated easily. Look for ways to dress up black-and-white prints with details.Though plain black upholstery is a bit unusual, it can make an important statement in a room. A few black accessories show up in high contrast to the balance of the room in creamy white. Kitchens are generally filled with straight lines and cold-looking countertops, so the sumptuous ruffled shade is a welcome contrast. Coordinating fabrics are a nice edge detail to further emphasize the arched hem."

or just do what we do-create, re-create, play, dismiss and start again.
