No - not a newspaper. Oh the black and whites! Love the striking contrast. It is so stunning to me. Whether it is stripes, walls and trim, floors, stair runners, zebra stripe patterns or rugs (which I know and respect that people either go one way or the other - there is no in between with the zebra hides) the juxtaposition of the two colors is visually stimulating. It is a simple start that has the capacity to be extremely complex. That is a cool thing!

Happy Monday everyone!...

Anytime I have a client who wants to remove existing black and white tile it is like fingernails going down a chalkboard to me. It is such a beautiful classic design that has been around for ages and I for one am a huge advocate of them. I think the contrast of black and white is so striking and beautiful, yet the entire look works as such a neutral setting that you can really direct the look in any direction you prefer. The options if you are laying the tile initially are endless - straight, on the bias, with a border or without. Please preserve original tiles if you are lucky enough to be a home owner that falls in that category - they were on to something back then!

Have a super duper Wednesday!...
