White Now…Black Tops!

So my big dilemma today is…has Black & White had its time in the sun???

Don’t misunderstand me for a moment here! The colour combo is an absolute classic…timeless…and always will be.

But for a while now it has been a modern classic seen over and under in decor after tablescape after interior design. Sooo, my wondering is…has it triumphed to exhaustion. To tried-and-true pairing… and now simply become classic???

I’m not convinced it is still not the proverbial favourite. And I do know that AC has used the colour combo with stunning savvy not only in her tablescapes but decor as well.

And I did wander in to this divine bedroom today…

Loving the whimsical feel of picnic style cushions but especially…and it’s so subtle you can barely see it…the large mirror that has been used in place of a table cloth.

WOW! RIGHT! :)

Kemble quotes…

We employed a mirror which reflected the soft, flickering candlelight, amplifying its glow to glittering effect and giving the illusion “that you were eating on an infinite pool of water.” Mingling guests flashed across its surface.

Simple illusion and magic and it works a miracle :)
