Color Inspiration: Black and White
by Laura Fenton
Suddenly, I am crazy for black and white interiors. I can't get enough of the crisp, clean look of black against a white backdrop and the simplicity of a limited palette. There's just something timeless and classic about a palette of ivory and ebony. I find myself looking at all my non-black and white belongings and wondering if I could paint them to one of these non-colors. Instead of going crazy with paint, I decided to put together an inspiration gallery of black and white rooms that I love.
