again, i insist black is a color, and my perhaps my favorite. i wear it almost primarily and my home is full of both black furnishings and accents. it’s bold and statement-making, and it goes with just about every other color, most especially white. i went down a rabbit hole of styling and interior design by natalie walton (and oh by the way she teaches a Design and Decoration Masterclasses!) like her very genius idea of this skirt as a design element (in the chic bedroom above) and then went on a pinterest hunt for yet more inspiration for this week’s color story. i hope you find some inspiration here, too!
