2 Inspiration: Black Walls

You know I'm a fan of black accent walls.  These two examples are crazy good.  Using black on the rear wall of a staircase makes the slope wall pop, adding dimension to the room. Painting a wall behind a workspace black especially when the rest of the room is light works so well.

3 We Moved!

We moved to our new beach house!!  I hate that things have been so slow around here, but the have been anything but in the real world.  We got all moved out of our old apartment, and are working on getting settled in our new one.  As you can see I've made some progress in my bedroom...We decided we couldn't live without our dark accent walls.  I honestly love the black wall(s) even better in this space, it made a huge difference in the way the room felt.  I also made one furniture purchase: an Alex from Ikea...which I have always wanted.

We are already enjoying our new neighborhoo, Redondo Beach (right near the Hermosa Beach line).  It kind of feels like Cali and NOLa had a baby. We can't wait to get out an explore some more.  While I work to get back to a routine, be sure to follow me on instagram to see what is going on... (My username is blackwhiteyello.)

0 Lou Mora and Sarah Yates Sneak Peek from Design Sponge

I included this image from Lou Mora and Sarah Yates's lovely Los Angeles home in my pool house wish list post, but their home is too good not to share more.  As you know I am a big fan of homes that have black walls, a mix of clean mid century pieces mixed with warm cozier items, and feel really happy without having too much stuff.  This home totally fits the bill.
