LIVING & DINING RIGHT - 5 REASONS TO LOVE

Modern living room light herringbone wood floor black framed pictures white walls black wall sconces squishy daybed and armchair

Here are the 5 things I am loving about these two spaces...

1) Light hardwood floors in a herringbone pattern

2) Black framed pictures against a white wall

3) The color combination - blue, white, silver and black with a touch of green in the form of plants

4) The lighting - Love the 3 bold black wall sconces in the living room the two blue glass pendants in the dining room.

5) Seating - The squishy armless daybed and chair in the living room are so inviting.  The silver cafe chairs and banquette seating in the dining room are functional and stylish.

STRIKING BLACK & WHITE DESIGN!

Ooooh.  Black and white in interior design.  Not a new concept at all but one that I like.

I like these three spaces because not only is the decor on theme...but the architecture of the rooms embraces the black and white theme!

Do you like any of these spaces?  Does this color scheme work for you?  Too modern or just right?

Happy Thursday!

P.S.  Went to a party for Westweek the other night at uber interior designer Michael Smith's design showroom - Jasper.  Very nice party.  Ran into Michael's partner JC who had their cute labradoodle whose name is Jasper!  Before I knew it, Jasper had hopped onto a very posh sofa in the middle of the showroom and was posing for photos for me.  I only had my iPhone so I got just a few photos and missed the good ones with Michael, Jasper and Architectural Digest head Margaret Russell all posing for the official photographer who started taking photos too!

P.P.S. Also ran into so sweet Traditional Home editor Krissa Rossbund at the party too. She introduced me to her friend AD who seems so nice. Was a treat because I got to hang out with friend and chic interior designer Alison Blumenfeld too for a bit. CM who runs all things operations at COCOCOZY was there with JJ - it was nice hanging out with them too. Everyone had heels on but I was too lazy to change out of my low boots...so I looked quite under dressed. Note to self: always make the effort to dress and put on heels? Right? Wrong? Hmmm???

P.P.P.S. Best of friend AM is in Zurich, Switzerland this week. She just sent me a bunch of lovely photos including this one. Lucky her!

P.P.P.P.S.  Am off to a shoot for a show in Griffith Park this morning for my real job.  We were warned on the call sheet to wear boots because of all of the poison ivy on the trails there.  Fun day!
