I like unexpected accent colors when designing black and white spaces and this icy blue hue is a pretty compliment. Ever since I did the post on BAMBOO FURNITURE, I always see them in other interiors. Kind of like when you buy a new car and you don’t really see much of it until after  you’ve bought it. Then all of a sudden everybody has the same car!! SideNote: You can click on links to anything in this post or others that’s in all caps & underlined. It’s basically other posts I’ve done about said underlined topic…

Black & White bathrooms can be kind of cold and although I would not want this for myself personally, I can appreciate the classic approach with the floor & SUBWAY TILE…

I love this little seating area. The CHEVRON print rug on top of BLACK FLOORS, black lamp shaded chandelier, the white piping on the sofa, massive window & the Ikat & MOORISH patterned pillows is giving me everything. You know already how I feel about TRAYS and this snake skin one is a very stylish one…

High Gloss Online Magazine debuted yesterday and here is one the fab interiors highlighted. It kind of reminds me of my Vintage Barbie post. You already know I can tolerate pink interiors ONLY when paired with black and white. Click HERE to get this look and see below for additional places…

 You would want to use white ceramic items to place on the coffee table along with white or white & black books stacked pyramid style. Place fresh white and pink blooms or faux flowers from Michael’s or Jo-Ann Fabric on the table. Find a map, cut it into 6 same sizes and place those into basic black frames. Using 40% off coupons from each Sunday’s paper for Michael’s or Jo-Ann Fabrics or go to the Dollar Tree and purchase them. Home Goods, TJ Maxx & Marshalls are all good places to find inexpensive large mirrors. Paint a wall a cool gray & voila.

My first design----college apartment bedroom contemporary bedroom
Aqua/Turquoise has been one of my favorite colors for summer ever since I 19. It was never my favorite color but it came at a close 3rd behind black & purple. I found the above pic over on houzz.com from user SugarDesign. This was her first project and I think she did a fabulous job. One way to add color to apartment walls when you’re not allowed to paint is hanging window treatments from a rod, even when there isn’t a window. Here, she did just that & went a step further by hanging mirrors over it. Toss pillows are a cheap and effective way to add spark to a space & the fabric choices and embellishments really add glam. The color combo of aqua w/chocolate is all the rage right now so it shouldn’t be difficult to accessorize a space like this.

I love love love sticks in vases. You hear me? LOVE. So dramatic & simple and anyone can do it. Also if you’ve been following me since the start of this blog you will see another trend that I adore. ZEBRA!!!!!!! *swoon* I swear to you I really don’t try to find zebra, I just stumble across it. I’m sure the other zebra patterned lovers don’t mind ;-) & I’ll continue to hold you all down, lol. Looking at that pic makes me miss the chocolate wall I had in my previous apartment.

I need this rug in my life. It’s just calling me to throw some pillows down with a bunch of fashion magazines & indulge. I especially love what they did with the ceiling and wall treatment. It’s like a continuous headboard as seen before in this post. While I’m needing things….let me put dibs on this über fabulous tufted chaise lounge.

*fist pump* First black is my favorite color & this here, is giving me everything. How unique is this honeycomb floor pattern? If that isn’t bold enough, check out the black ceilings!! Too fabulous. You ever go in shopping stores in the mall or even some restaurants where the ceiling and all its beams, pipes and ugliness is exposed? Well when it’s painted black it goes unnoticed.
