Black, White & Cream

It has come upon me sort of slowly but I think it

has hit ~

My love of decorating with the color black !


I have almost completely redecorated my house in creams

and whites but I am thinking that I am going

to add some black accents here and there ~


Yesterday was fun because I worked with some

black and white ticking ~ I love how the colors

look with vintage rusty stuff and

tarnished silvers ~

I will be adding more to my website soon !!

I agree completely...there are so many *black* vintage accents...suitcases, typewriters, etc. that add to the look... this is the first time in my decorating that I am adding in touches of black, too.
LOVE the ticking...have a great weekend!

Hi Lori,
You are so cute...when I tell people that my style is cottage industrial with shabby and tattered furniture they think white on white. I do, do white on white with lots of black accents...it is a wonderful color to add to design. I am loving the pillows to too cute. I hope your weekend is awesome 90 plus here in Murrieta, CA

Smiles,
Sheila

I think its important to have a little black because I think it grounds the room. Do you? And it can look very elegant with white and cream. I just love ticking!
Thanks for sharing!

Black is one of those neutrals that works with any shade on the color wheel, it looks good in any room and any style decor. Looks beautiful Lori!
