Grey and black kitchen...

 

I love this little snippit of a kitchen.  That light is fabulous with the simple shaker cabinetry and black counters.

Natural beauty

 

I love that depth can be created with texture and interesting objects.  This is a perfect example and I love that marble cocktail table.  Eclectic and simple at the same time.

black in the kitchen..

 

This is such a beautiful example of another dark group of cabinetry in the kitchen.  It is still bright and interesting!

Bold in black... 47 Park Avenue

 

I came across a single image from this gorgeous home on pinterest and fell hard!  This is such an inspiring space, and just one of many on Micheal's blog.   He covers their renovation in beautiful detail and the results are enough to make me want to paint everything black and white and add bold mixes of color.  It is beyond wonderful! 

 

 

I love the pups too!  They also have an English bulldog that is not pictured here.. yes I may have stalked the blog a little!

Darkest of details...

 

I love finding a great detail and I love using dark wood.  Most of my commercial projects require large wood desks and the detailing on this is perfection for something like that.  The nail head on leather is not to shabby either.

I hope you find great inspiration today!

Dark trimmed windows and doors...

 

I am working with a client in Laguna Beach who is building from the ground up and we were chatting yesterday about windows and doors... we ended up deciding on dark details for the exterior.  I love this look and was excited to find so many wonderful examples to back up our ideas...  What do you think?  Would you go dark?

dark beauty..

 

Feeling so inspired by the contrast in black details right now.  I think almost every space needs a contrast and why not use black to make it happen?  I find that I do the same with fashion.. a little black goes a long way!

Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday!

Little black and white dining..

 

I have been seeing these little chairs just about everywhere and I love love them.  I have used them in a few jobs but keep trying to figure out how I can have them at home..  maybe my office would be a good spot. Wishing you a very wonderful Holiday weekend- I hope you have wonderful plans!

We do our standard egg dying on Saturday and then dinner with family and friends on Sunday.

Fresh air..

 

I think it is about time we opened up the doors and windows to let the fresh air in.  I am so in need of warmer days, we have had some beautiful teases here in California but I need a little more!  

Things here have been so busy and so amazing I cannot wait to share all of the new pieces we have online and some great upcoming giveaways here on the blog!  It is going to be a great couple of weeks as we ease into Spring, I do hope you will join us for everything!

Black entry doors

 

I love the contrast of a black or espresso door.  We have a pink Wisteria planted to go over ours and I am so hoping that this is the year it grows across the front of the house.  These are a few of my favorites that I have collected and were great inspiration for me.  When we redid our kitchen this year I had the painters paint the interior of my doors black also just for a change in the space and I love it. 

Are you a fan of the high contrast?
