When there’s a moment to spend sorting through the abyss that is the closet, often find myself wandering away to do other things — sometimes difficult to pare down and part with things, infinitely easier to sort through the hundreds of photographs in inspiration folders — and happened upon these lovely shots of black + white — the best of both worlds: bright airiness contrasted with bold elegance . . .

All slices of beauty!
Lovely post.
Gorgeous! Time to rethink those antique black lace shawls on Ebay.
First I wanted to marry the first hallway with the staircase, then I saw the second and the third and then I realized my dreamhouse will be full og hallways and not with rooms…
Number 4 is my fav…gorgeous!!! love b/w.
That lacy blanket is incredible! Wow! I would love to know where it’s from…
I vote for no. 3 as well. Imagine having a giant tree-stump AND that view.
# 4 the french bedroom! wow, black lace over white! how chic!
*by the way, I fixed the link to t.i.g on my blog! thank you for the new link!
i will never tire of seeing that Kate Moss polkadot dress image!!!
Talk about sexy. This is a gorgeous spread. And I am just dying for a soak in that luxuriously beautiful bath. Thank you for the fantasy… I will be thinking of it all day in the garden.

Such stunning images! I did a black and white story a while ago but it wasn’t nearly as glamorous as yours! Love the lace bedspread!
Beautiful… all it is beautiful. Black and white comprises everything. Extremely elegant.
B&W is so striking! In my last pic I photographed the ceiling of the restaurant I had dinner at recently, and it is striped black & white – love it! :)

I think I can honestly say, there is nothing I love more than black and white! Love these photos:)
You really do find the most beautiful photos! I’m in love with that white bed with black lace and chandelier. It’s just stunning!
i remember that interior from australian home beautiful! black and white is bliss :)
Beautiful black and white images.
That is what I am going to have to do, sort through my wardrobe and have a big old clean out.

Beautiful. I love the contrast..
The view from the windows in the third photo is making me crave a beach vacation right. this. second. The rug is awesome, too. :)
I am loving that rug! I love that with black and white, you can add a punch of color here and there and the result is a durasitc change!
I just love black and white together! It looks so crisp and clean.
hi, love your blog, stop on over & say hi :) gio
Beautiful pictures! I’d love to have a room decorated in the black and white theme <3
Love Number 4!
I saw the first picture and thought: Oo, what a gorgeous bathroom, I would do anything to own one like that… But then I became greedy and thought: Oo, and that one, oo, and that too!
Lovely images! ;)
Classic. Love Kate Moss’s dress!
love this post – esp brigitte – stunning! x
Also, when doing boring work related tasks like filing expense reports, distractions like gorgeous posts from TIG are a welcome escape!
that ocean view with the striped rug is calling my name!
My favourite! I adore the bottom image!
That blonde is beautiful! I’m currently obsessing over black and white stripe rugs…all fantastic photos!
