Every room needs a little black....


Every room needs a little black. Don't be afraid, it's an accent .... think eyelashes and eyebrows.


This room started with a collection of  black "school" chairs . Although  all Hitchcock chairs, they are all a bit different and my husband had them scattered throughout the house (He claims they are from all the schools that kicked him out). But generally, any collection  makes a bigger  impact when you display the pieces together. The table is from Amish Originals and the  Honeybee rug and chandelier from one of my favorites, Ballard Designs.







Like the little black dress, black never goes out of style. It's classic, and the pieces will pop out. It brings everything into focus

  1. Let's see, three black cats, Grandma Gates' Hitchcock chairs from the 1940's and a lamp with a black drum shade all within eye shot at the moment. You're right. Great accent color.
