Black and White Door - 0 views

    Black trim adds sophistication to the playful blue beaded board walls in this entryway, but a graphic paint treatment on the door keeps it bold and fun. A neutral rug ties the look together without overwhelming the space.

Six Postcards - 0 views

    Small items like postcards or book illustrations gain instant impact when surrounded with an extra-wide white mat and framed in a contrasting color.

Photography Art over a Mantel - 0 views

    Art gallery photography can be expensive, so try using your own photographs as artwork. Take high-resolution digitals and have them enlarged to poster size. These can be custom framed for a high-end look, or simply mounted in inexpensive frames from a craft store.

    I love how the black frames contrast with the white mantel. It's so classically beautiful.

Silhouettes Artwork - 0 views

    Get this look by tracing shapes (like these birds) and cutting the designs out of black paper. Mounted on a colored background, or even on white; the shapes are a unique way to fill a wall with color and pattern. Try leaves, trees, or even your child's profile.

    I love old corbels used with ANYTHING, especially shelving and as archway accents.
