Color Game : Black+White

Oakland is in the fog today. That gray would be a pretty inside wall color but it's a dreary outsidecolor for a Sunday. Time to liven things up by playing my little mind game of putting a whole house "together" using Pinterest. Let's say someone gave you this pretty San Franciscan Italianate house. What would you do inside? There's nothing fresher than a black and white palette so let's see how it could look.

Black and white rooms make for a dreamy city oasis against the foggy background that is so often San Francisco. Come to think of it, maybe a nap is the best way to dream of the possibilities. Enjoy your Sunday.
