Black Accents at Home...(Via Made By Girl)

I'm HEAD OVER HEELS in love with black accents in a home!! For me, I prefer adding black with lamp shades, artwork, maybe even pillows. The reason for all this is because I'm NOW working on the main guest bedroom so I need MAJOR inspiration!  I came across these pictures below, and I HAVE TO ADMIT...they're giving me the desire to forge ahead and add a few black items to the guest bedroom. 


The question is what do I add in BLACK?!?!?!?!?  My main guest room is painted ALL WHITE so I'm definitely starting with a blank canvas. Well... whatever I decide I've got plenty of inspiration below!

Michael Kors at Home

A lot of creative types who work with color and pattern all day say that they like to come home to more neutral and clean environment so I wonder if that is the reason behind why both Donna Karan and Michael Kors live in black and white apartments. There is something kind of soothing about all that open space and lack of clutter. It reminds me also of Michael's fashion style which is also clean even when it's over the top glamorous as was the case with his Fall 2010 collection! It looks like those images of Lisa Taylor and Lauren Hutton on his mood inspired a fabulous fashion show so definitely check that out too!

What's black and white...

Someone recently told me that they asked a child, "what's black and white and read all over?" and they had no idea. I guess kids don't read the newspaper these days. For some reason, I thought about that story when I saw this black and white papered entry. Probably because I also can't answer the question of who designed it or where it's from. Some of the motifs are similar to things I've seen at the Neue Galerie so it might be Austrian or German or who knows, maybe it's in California. If anyone can identify it, please let us know. Until then, I'll be reading the news on the internet like the kids!

For Pet Owners

Once in awhile I place a posting about dogs, this particular one is just a warning to pet owners about the terrible dog food recall. Its so sad that so many pets are getting sick or passing away, due to this problem. Please take a look at the FDA website for a list of pet foods being recalled. You can also email me for the complete list for cats or dogs. These beautiful images were shot by Ken Phillips, he let me use them and I'm grateful to him. You can see the wonderful work he does for The Animal Hospital on Mt. Lookout Square. Perhaps making your own food is better. You can read my home made dog food recipe in the comments section of this post.
