I cannot begin to express how much I love black and white colour palettes. It is just so classic and modern, and easy to switch out accent colours if you tire of things easily like I do. So here are some photos of black and white living rooms.

I just found this picture and had to laugh – and then had to post it. It seems everyone (except Jo and Anna, the aussies) has been suffering through horrible weather lately and after weeks of FREEZING cold temperatures up here, I thought this picture accurately portrayed how I feel (and look?? – this cow has more hair than I do FOR SURE).

Many people collect books and often use standard Billy bookcases to store them. While it may be economical, it is not a very unique way to display them. I can admit that because guess where my books are housed? Here are some interesting ways to display them that don’t necessarily involve our good friend Billy.

I stumbled upon photographer Graham Atkins-Hughes’ portfolio recently and discovered some fantastic photos of interiors. The following is my favourite – I am sure the paint technique was done for the purposes of this photo but the more I look at this photo, the more I think this might actually work in the real world. You just better make sure you like the table and accessories!

Here it is, probably my favourite chair EVER. I was thinking of getting two to put at each end of my dining table (as in the first photo). If you own one, send me a photo. I would love to see how you used it in your space.
