It's in Black and White

The saying, "It's in black and white," means there's definitive or conclusive proof. Today we'll focus on black and white decor. Do you like black and white decor or fashion? Or you a *gotta-have-color* gal? Kitchen; Pillow; Living Room; Bedroom; Kitten; Purse and Scotties!

  1. I have to have colour - even if it's just a shot of red in a black and white toile room. I love a bit of black, though, in any room.

  3. Janean,
    I want that kitty! (ahhhhhh) I love any toile and the black and white is stunning! I am a color gal, but I could do a bedroom with that beautiful toile and stripe.

  4. Okay, you got me with the black and white animals! But for decor it's got to be colorful! White and black, or white and any other one color is just too stark for me for a whole room.

    I know they also say you need some black in every room to ground it but I think other dark colors work just as well. I have a lot of dark browns and greens for that job. Except for electronics(bleah!) I really don't have much black at all.

  5. That's me! A 'gotta have color' gal! That's why I love that first pic so much! The window is crazy beautiful! But the splash of color of the orange flowers on the table just make the scene perfect!

  7. Hi Janean, Thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. I hope you know you are welcome back any time. I have always been drawn to old homes, and buildings. It is a grand way to spend the day searching for them. You have a beautiful blog with lots of eye candy. I personally love black and white and have lots of it in my home. My art is also done in pen and ink. I find black and white sootheing.

  9. Love the black and white toile room but with a touch or red or yellow in it. I have a touch of black in every room in my house. Love it.

    Great post.

  12. I AM A FAN of the black & white combinations :) So MODERN. Even with the Traditional & European accents. You had my attention on the first picture.

    All I can say is "More!"

  13. I LOVE black and white! But I also have kids, which pretty much eliminates the possibility of very much white in my house. We LIVE in this house and I wouldn't want it any other way, but it would be nice to someday have a room just for 'pretty', too.

  14. The look of black and white is so crisp and clean but I must say I prefer more color.

  15. I do have quite a bit of white in my house, but not really any black. (except for one of my cats.) I need a bit of color here.

  24. Your lovely blog always offers such wonderful inspiration. Although I prefer a primitive decor, I do love the color black. You will find it in my clothing, shoes, appliances, and vehicle. A girl just can't own too much black!

  27. Hello Janean, I like black and white...especially toile and stripes but I also like a pop of color with it. I've always wanted to do a black and white bedroom but never was brave enough! My favorite is color though...just makes me cheery. Love the kitty. Hope you have a wonderful Tuesday! Best Wishes....Maura

  30. I thinks it's a very clean tailored look. Not country with the black. I haven't decorated with it. I do however love B&W photos.
