Black and White Veranda

If you have 3 of something, you can call it a collection.  Here is a collection of black and white verandas.  Veranda is Austalian for Porch. (Slowly but surly, I am catching on to this second language thing.)  Enjoy, Heidi

Black and White with Color.

Black and white is so balanced, so simple, so sophisticated, but add small accents of color melodies and you create a clean, playful, energetic setting.  Here are some great images that capture this perfectly.  Some have the black and white and could use more color accents, you'll see what I mean.  This would be a great beach house, by the way.  Enjoy, Heidi

White Winter Home.

This is one of those MonochroMAGIC homes.  Whites, creams, sparkles and time worn woods, a perfect combination.  My favorite accessory in this home is the matching kitty on the bed.  Enjoy, Heidi

Chalk Board Wall.

The chalk board trend seems to be taking over the web.  The black background with the eroded white text and scribbles gives a bold yet informal look.  It is a good look, only it is also my kryptonite.  I can only look and admire these rooms, but not venture into them.  Is there such a thing as chalk board phobia?  Something happens to my nervous system when I hear.....you know what I'm talking about, I cannot even write about it, because of the effects it has on me.  I wish you all a wonderful weekend, I will be staying away from chalk boards.  Enjoy, Heidi
