i spy: chalkboard black.
i love the look of chalk writing on an old blackboard. smudged, erased — a soft history of something once said, or at least written. black and white. old and the new, right there all overlapping each other. so today, i spy chalkboard black and the chalkiest white. i spy the simple elegance of black & white.

jan – good eye. yep, that’s me and my mom. i believe that is a bandaid for a boo-boo. :)
I love this. I’m soon going to decorate a new room, and b&w items, vintage furniture and old wood are definitely the items I’m going to use!

victoria, thanks for posting my little b/w tote clutch via halycon days! love the b/w collection btw. :)
silvia – thank you! i just updated the post to include your link! :)
Wow! What inspiration. I love your posts. You create such an interesting visual message for us to think about.
How I adore those scalloped borders on the old photographs! Such a darling detail, I wonder why they stopped.
I am really into black and white at the moment. And I see I am not the only one. My sister just had a black and white checked floor put in her kitchen – which looks fab! Always enjoy your posts!
Love black and white together!
