THE BLACK & WHITE OF INSPIRED DESIGN!

Love these two rooms from a home in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles. Designer Jeff Andrews demonstrates that rooms with a simple two toned black and white theme can actually be full of color!

The Los Angeles based designer artfully decorated the living room (above) by making the biggest design statement on the floor... the bold black and white checker tiles (or flooring) set the stage for this dramatically elegant and clever room. White walls, grand windows trimmed in black, yellow curtains, white slipcovered armchairs and sofa, black and white framed art hanging and leaning on the walls, throw pillows that pick up the black and white theme, and a bird cage top off the rest of the design.

In the kitchen, Jeff takes simple white cabinets to the next level by painting prominent black borders and trim around the doors - giving the whole room a retro 1950's vibe. Cabinet drawers are all also tied into the black and white color scheme...all dotted with black drawer pulls. Vintage looking appliances also get the black trim treatment. Wood block countertops and wood floors blend well with the overall theme. In this photo, we also get a glimpse of what is probably an original iron door or gate that leads into this stylish and well designed kitchen.

Thank you Jeff for letting me post these fab photos!
