The Brighter Side of Black

I am a sucker for black walls, color, and the outdoors and this "Cutting-edge Melbourne Cottage" has combined these elements in a wonderful way. Beware these images are so powerful they even made my itunes start to skip:-)

Now doesn't this just look so peaceful?!

The pink wall rocks with the slate!

I am working with a Swedish couple on their gorgeous home in West Hollywood and I am totally thinking black kitchen...this almost confirmed it for me.

This modern chair gives this space that spunk that it needs to be playful.

You know I love the electric blue and this application creates art out of structure. Love it when that happens.

Still appreciating the Vitra Sofa!

Thanks Living Etc. for these fabulous photos and article! This is where I would love to be sitting with you have a friendly conversation!

How gorgeous are these interior shots by Frederik Vercruysse?!

Wow! These greens are so beautiful with the soft gold light.

Love the black kitchen and floors! I want to curl up in that sofa. It reminds me of a worn in baseball glove!

The veining on that marble is stunning and I can't get enough of the blue. Well, actually that little bit is just perfect! Do you guys love the cobalt blue as much as I do?

The Perfect White Linen Sofa

I can't get enough of the white linen sofa this summer!

You have to love the Ghost Sofa from the Italian manufacturer Gervasoni. Imperfection done perfectly! I first saw these up at Malibu Market and fell in love with every detail! If you haven't been to Malibu Market you must go! The open air market with amazing views of the ocean are too die for and then to throw in the Ghost Sofa, it's just too much:-)

I love this adorable tufted look with the reclaimed teak legs.

Or here's idea, just cover your existing with a linen or cotton sheet!


How fun! The mummy look!

EYE CANDY!

This post is simply for fun...it's Friday! I had these images in my inspiration folder forever and I have no information on them. I know they are beautiful, bold, organic, fresh, and absolutely stunning all at the same time.
