b + w wrapping paper

Here is some free black and white wrapping paper from Martha Stewart. The catch? You have to print it yourself. That part is not so free. It sure makes a pretty stack.

banners

So, I'm really mad at all of you who know about free sites like scrapblog.com and don't tell me. I have been pulling my hair out for the past year trying to figure out photoshop and illustrator. It might help if I bought a book or took a class...but still. You can make a banner at the aforementioned site in about 30 seconds and it's free. So free. I like free. I even designed my Christmas cards there this year. How about that?

disclaimer: i know NOTHING about scrapbooking. never done it. i realize this sort of thing might be common knowledge for the scrapbooking folk.

martha stewart paint

Um, I need this office. So clean and crisp. I also love stainless steel mixed in with black and white. Image via Lowes (martha stewart/valspar paint).

black and white holiday

I love black and white, but at Christmastime this color palette feels a little gothic...and not so merry and bright. I think a black and white Christmas scheme can be softened with pastels such as pink and blue, and vintage touches. I love this photostream on flickr. So pretty.

black and white thanksgiving

I managed to come up with a non-pilgrim thanksgiving decoration. He will be hibernating until next November.

Maisons du Monde

I love tufted furniture. These black and white pieces from Maisons du Monde are amazing.

black & white baby

I have a massive collection of black and white fabric that I've been meaning to turn into baby toys and blankets. There are so many cool ideas floating around the internet. The other day I was wandering through Pottery Barn Kids and noticed that they beat me to it. There were a bunch of soft black and white toys. This ring stacker is my favorite...

Black and white Christmas Cards

If you are in the market for a black and white Christmas card, HERE is a good option.

black and white brownstone

Here are some shots from Jenna Lyon's (J. crew creative director) brownstone. I love the black and white touches. Images from Domingo Magazine.

black and white on top design

Did you see Ondine"s black and white room last night on Top Design? Here it is:

Did you hear guest judge Jeff Lewis? In response to her room, he said "black and white is hot right now." I could have told you that.

halloween decor

I was feeling festive this year and decorated (in black and white) for halloween. We even had a party.

owl lamp

I saw this black and white owl lamp at the blissfest last Saturday. It popped up again on top design in Nathan's room last night. I love it. Available here.

wallpaper

If I were brave (or rich) enough to do wallpaper I would do something with a bold contrast like this. I have always loved white in bathrooms. This wallpaper would go nicely with my white towels, rugs, and shower curtain. Photo from maison design magazine, but spotted HERE.

He is another bold graphic look I like...spotted a while back at this site.

coolest pillows ever

This is a fantastic ETSY shop. I love this pillow.

black and white living room

Black and White living room found on Kodak Gallery.

dog silhouettes

I think I find this wallpaper interesting because I just watched 101 Dalmations over and over in the minivan during our family vacation. My children would love it in their bedroom. The wallpaper is from Osborne and Little, photo from Apartment Therapy.

b + w in New Jersey

Here is a great article about black and white design.

christiana coop

Here are some lovely photos of christina coop's (of ferm living) apartment. It's amazing how fresh looking black and white can be. Images from apartment therapy.

hounds tooth

I have been looking for black and white hounds tooth fabric. Here is a living room with hounds tooth chairs. Photo taken from this site.

b + w baby

How cool is this black and white mobile from fawn and forest? I think I might try to make something similar. It's perfect for new babies that can only see strong contrast colors.

word art

Lately I have been loving word art. I am a huge sucker for trends. Here is an etsy seller that has created some unique things.


Also, I am going to buy this print (I know, so unoriginal) in yellow for the living area. Here it is in black from this shop. Everyone is selling these posters on etsy right now.

black + white fabric palletes

Here are some examples of what a splash of black and white fabric can do to a room. I love the black and white zebra headboards with the vintage cowboy toile curtains.

I think this palette might be navy, not black. Hard to tell. I love how this chair adds interest to the relaxing white room.

Both images from Domino Magazine.

spooky chic

Fantastic black and white halloween decor spotted at pottery barn.
Makes me want to have a black and white themed halloween bash.

B & W accessories

I love chair silhouettes (hence the poorly done blog banner). These tea towels are fabulous, and the bottle of San Pellegrino on top makes me want to buy them even more. Found at Rocket St. George. They also have a pillow in the same pattern.
These pillows are very nice as well. I love word art. They also come in red (and would make for great holiday decor). I also have my eye on these jars.Pillows and jars also from Rocket St. George.

Nicky Hilton's Pad

It seems that Nicky Hilton is a lover of black and white. These are pictures of her home taken by Paul Costello for InStyle.

black and white from BHG

A modern take on black and white silhouettes. I love the mismatched frames and how they offset the flat screen TV. Photo from BHG.

black wallpaper

I love how fresh and clean this room looks. I never knew I could like all-black wallpaper. Taken from apartmenttherapy.com.

wall decals

I've been on the fence about wall decals for a while now. I've decided that as long as they are tasteful and done in moderation, they are ok. I love love love this French company, especially the children's line. The decals come in black and white (as well as any other color of your choosing).

pillow sale

There is a great Thomas Paul pillow sale going on at Design Public.

p.s. they come in other pretty colors too...
