It's the same kind of feeling I get when I look at rooms that turn black and white into a rustic combo with touches of raw wood. When we think of black and white we usually think of high impact, glossy spaces, but my favorite applications of the never-out-of-style color combo classic are the earthier ones...
like this one by Atlanta Bartlett....

Or this one from Domino which I love for the unusual combination of black walls and driftwood topped off by the minimalist exposed bulb sconce.....

And I've spent nearly as much time studying Eddie Ross's perfectly rustic New York retreat. The beams, the beams! I love how he punctuates the white and raw wood (already one of my favorite combinations) with punches of sophisticated black in the sconces and taper candles....

I fluctuate between wanting a sparkling pristine bathroom and a natural earthy one, but this picture definitely sways me toward the latter....

Even black and white stripes can take on an earthy feel when paired with unpainted wood...

wow, I had never really thought about it before but there is a huge difference between the high gloss b&w and the more rustic, muted version. I love this look and didn't realize it!
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful images displayed here. They are very warm and inviting too. Great post.

Amen! Honestly, I just can't believe how much I enjoy and so agree with the photos you post. I probably will steal a few of these for my 'Room Love' tab on my blog, which is full of exactly the same kind of interiors. Black and white contrast and many with some kind of wood element. I have to say that I was a teensy bit disappointed with TRAD Home for that reason. It was really hard to find photos with wood in them -- photos of rooms that looked lived in, rather than contrived. Anyway, another fabulous post!
ReplyDeletebaby will come. Are you post dates?
ReplyDeleteLove the insp pics...go eat some pineapple.
Yes, that is a good thing. I think that just as we make room in our homes (nesting!) before baby's arrival - so baby starts to make room for themselves in our hearts and souls long before we meet face-to-face. It is a precious time. Enjoy the blessed distraction.
ReplyDeleteWe love and miss y'all,
Catherine
Ooops...forgot to say - you are in my prayers for a beautiful and peaceful delivery.
ReplyDeleteHas the baby arrived yet? I'm feeling bad about my TRAD Home comment and have returned to take it back. Upon another viewing, I actually found quite a lot to like! I must have been in a bad mood the first time around!
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you, Leah!
