Shhh who loves black?

Black has always been my favorite color. Its mostly the main color in my wardrobe,a powerful and sexy color. I wasnt shocked to learn that TV personality Genevieve Gorder also loves black.... She says,"  the color black gives contrast and depth, it is masculine with a sultry femininity to it. Black is the great illusionist for designers, to the back of a bookcase black creates an illusion of greater depth, in a flat finish on walls it pops everything off in the world."

Genevieve loves Valspar’s Dark Kettle Black 4011-2: 


 




Here are some tips how to use black in a bedroom and a kitchen. Black creates a dramatic ambiance and loves brass in this bedroom by designer Jessie d. Miller. Love!









Black is a great backdrop to this chic kitchen by designer Jonathan Legate for Brizo.  Look at the black Solna Brizo faucet standing so proud! Chic!

DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT: Input Creative Studio | Artist Children's Portrait Studio Eight




Taking cues from technology, nature and contemporary lifestyle, New York based Input Creative Studio designers (and friends) Yiannos Vrougos and Brooke Lichtenstein created a modern, versatile and playful design for Studio Eight Photos, an artist children's portrait studio in Thessaloniki, Greece.  The design is thoughtful with a lot of bold details.  I'm really loving the graphic elements set against an all white space......especially the punch of blue inside a custom playhouse, a great space and backdrop for shoots with the kids. Defines fun and perfectly suited for a kids photographers studio! The set in itself is brilliant.....it is flexible and adaptable with a modular lounge that can be configured in a variety of ways for different shoots. Check out the images...










If you would like to meet the Input Creative Studio designers, they are teaching a workshop on the design process from conception to completion with a breakdown of the steps of the process for NYC x Design this Wednesday May 14th  from 7:00-9:00pm. Click here to sign up!!
