I was recently in the home of a friend who decided to use black and white to decorate her living room.  It is one of those combinations that never gets old.  In fact, in my opinion, there is nothing more classic than black and white.  It works in almost every room and with both modern and traditional decor.

The photo below is an example of a beautiful traditional black and white room.

I love looks that are timeless and black and white is precisely that.  As we are about to embark on a new project, I am thinking that I might have to use this classic combination as my inspiration in a room or two.  Stay tuned.
