Black, White, A Touch of Sunlight

I was so inspired by this photo in the new White House Black Market catalog.

Are they selling shoes or flowers?  Black and white is very chic these days — for fashion and home.  The yellow adds an eye-catching, happy pop of color.

    I love this combination! Black and white is so classy. Thanks for showing us how yellow can be used as an accent color.

    Am a HUGE fan of Yellow — the brighter the better. Adding pops of yellow to a graphic black & white color scheme is such a great way to bring in a strong color to those who are wary of using a lot of strong color in a room.

    I wrote a post back in January about my obsession with yellow: http://www.designbabylon.com/2009/01/03/current-obsession-yellow/

    Your blog is wonderful + I can’t wait to read more!

    Cheers,
