Five on Friday: Black and White Edition

October 25, 2013

I can’t believe it’s almost November!!  Fall is here, the holidays are right around the corner, and it’s actually quite cold here in Charlotte this morning.  Halloween is in a few days, and I have to admit that it just isn’t my favorite holiday.  I DO NOT like scary things!  But, one thing I do love about it is that black and white can be found everywhere.  It is my favorite color scheme – for clothing, my house, parties.  Instead of totally honoring Halloween in a post, I decided to give a nod to the holiday by focusing on black and white everything (with a little gray thrown in).

Thank you as always to April, Darci, Natasha, and Christina for hosting!

THE GOOD LIFE BLOG

ONE: Home design inspiration.  These are all pictures I’ve pinned or bookmarked the last couple of years.  Simple, classic, neutral.  Black and white interior design is timeless!

TWO: Party ideas.  These events are designed with a black and white color scheme, and they’re giving me great inspiration for the holidays! Black, white, stripes, gold, champagne.  All good things!

THREE: This is actually gray and white, but gray is just a less saturated form of black, right?  I had to show off these sweatshirts!  (My husband and one of our good friends have an Etsy shop – they design sports-themed t-shirts and sweatshirts.  Shameless product promotion here. ;)) How great would they be for tailgating, a baseball game, watching football with friends, or even just running errands during the week?!  The sweatshirts are geared toward us girls, but the t-shirts are perfect gift ideas for husbands, boyfriends, brothers, or dads!

FIVE: A black and white photo gallery wall is on my to-do list.  I want to make our foyer hallway a gallery wall.  Here is my inspiration.
