Black is Back... and so am I

Dearest blog followers, my apologies for such a long delay in blogging.  The last several months have been more than hectic and I have neglected my beloved design blog.  I have had many inquires about what happened and whether I will be starting up again, and to my delight, I'm here to say, yes!  Although things at work are far from slowing down, I am going to do my best to blog regularly and keep you updated with the latest and greatest.  

For this week's blog, I thought it best to go back to basics.  We all have that one black item in our wardrobe that makes us feel ever so chic and polished.  So, I dare to ask, why shouldn't that same black elegance translate into our interiors?  Exactly.  It should, and it does.  I know many of you worry that black rooms make it feel smaller, claustrophobic, or depressing.  But, I beg to differ.  Take a peek at the photos I've posted below and you will see how elegant and sophisticated a black interior can truly be, without being overwhelming and goth.  As a great designer once said, "more is more."
