Black & White Home Decor Inspiration

So while browsing for some inspiration, I came across some inspiration I think I'll be using in my own home...

The first is a design by Judith Balis of Nest Instinctual Interiors (based in Boise, Idaho). I'm seriously in LOVE with the blue turquoise walls paired with the pink chairs and the striped black and white sofa. Seriously, I could only dream of a house that gorgeous.

I don't know the designers of these other photos I found.. Though I wish I did (I also wish that Judith Balis lived quite a bit closer... But, I digress...)

I'm loving the matte black walls here paired with the crisp color of the couch. 

I also love that the color is extended up onto the ceiling in this design. (Of course, I also love the blue chairs, but that's another story.)

Happy Monday, everyone.

101 Black and White Decor Items for Under $101

Today's post is focusing entirely on wall art, because really, a room isn't complete without a little bit of art.

Now, granted I have a bias (I love urban-themed art,) I did manage to sneak in a few items for those who are less-than-thrilled about the loft/urban/city look.

1930s print, 'Men on Girder' from AllPosters.com - $6.99 (plus shipping.) WELL worth the price considering this print is 24 by 36 inches. Plus, it's comical, it's inspiring, it's... a lot of things. (Isn't a picture worth a thousand words?)

Something a little less city, a little more cottage-cabin-out-by-lake-Michigan. ;) These are the Stray Dog Sea Life Plaques from West Elm, ranging in price from $39 to $49 (plus shipping), depending on which size/pattern you choose.

I -love- World Market. LOVE. I love going there. 'Nuff said. Boho Multi-Stem Wall Decor from World Market, $39.99 (plus shipping).

And finally, the piece d'resistence (probably not the correct spelling, but whatev.) -- My favorite (and I intend to buy this piece for my own office, mind you,) the Cityscape New York City Print from Crate & Barrel. It's a bit more at $69.95 -- but I absolutely LOVE architectural drawings. I have a few from Frank Lloyd Wright I'd like to put up on my walls too... But I digress.

Happy Monday, everyone!

Black Bedroom Decor

A black bedroom is one of those things I'm still torn on (which is probably why I'm doing gray in my own bedroom). I love for my bedroom to be as dark as possible when I'm going to bed at night, but in the morning, I think I'd be quite depressed with black walls.

But, despite all that, I still love these bedrooms. (Especially the ones with the chandeliers,) so check 'em out.

Okay, okay. So they don't all have black walls. But, they're all black and white. So, there.

On a future note, I need to start saving the info of where I got these photos. I've had them in a folder in my desktop for several months now and I'd love to know who designed each of them so I could follow those designers but... I wasn't that smart back when I was looking through things. So, if I ever find out who designed a room I came across, I'll be sure to share because a) they are obviously fantastic if I like them and b) they deserve the credit and c) maybe someone out there wants to hire them to design a room and d) all other reasons not already covered.

Ah well.
