Well, Early Goodwill means mismatched, so I guess it's all goodwill now.

Why? ???
The only dirt they show is mud? LOL
I was wondering what kind of discussion this was going to be.
For the record, as much as I love monochromatic palettes, my room is decorated in pinks, complete with sage-green gingham and cabbage rose accents. *grin* I didn't decorate it, and it's not my house, so my black-and-white paintings and retro decor is all packed up. ;)
Ok, when you get your own place how would you like to have it decorated?
..With all of my decorations currently packed away in storage. I'll have to dig up some photos of my last apartment - it's very retro, eclectic, and fun, but I'm all about elegant, too.
Hard to describe in just a few words, lol.
Oh I love retro.
When you use retro and elegant in the same sentence, reminds me of Victorian. You go that far back?
my decorating theme is pictures and books and stuff people gave me. :pwink:
always has been. full of stories.
i do, actually, have black and white pics in my dining area and would like to have a black table cloth to go with my black and white china.
that's about the only color coordinated area.
i guess the bathroom is sort of, too. decor that is white and sage green seems to have migrated there. not really on purpose, just seemed to go together and voila! it worked.
so, yeah. don't know if i've ever had a theme.

Black is a graphic artists best friend!! The easiest color there is to coordinate. :great:
Sis, more 1940s. I'm not really a victorian person, it's a little too 'done' for me. I'll try to describe, but I REALLY need to find my pics to do justice to it..
Kitchen - Very eclectic. Colors were red, yellow, and robin-egg/turquoise blue. The pictures were colorful breakfast food advertisements from several LIFE magazines from the 1940s I'd bought, with red-and-white gingham mats and white distressed frames. Napkins and placemats were red & red-and-white gingham, and the dining room was an extension of the kitchen decor.
Living Room - elegant, feminine, chic. Colors were black, marigold, and red. The main picture was a huge framed 1930s Vogue cover. Furniture was a pale yellow sofa with zebra throw pillows, a zebra print armchair, and a huuuge black walnut armoire. I had antique hats and purses displayed. The walls were a muted peachy marigold color.
Office/Guest room - Modern eclectic. Colors were black, white, and red. I used the covers of the LIFE magazines and framed them in black frames and lined them up gallery-style along the main wall. All the accessories were black, white, and red. (The bed cover was a black and white paisley pattern.)
Bathroom #1 - Funky retro. Colors were chocolate and pink. Pictures were lotion and toothpaste advertisements from the LIFE magazines, in chocolate frames with pink mats. Shower curtain was pink with a brown-and-pink striped band at the top and bottom, and towel holders, etc. were brown.
My room - Feminine and retro. Colors were black, white, hot pink, and silver. My furniture is black iron (canopy bed, vanity, and bookshelf) - pictures were monochromatic paintings I did of Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe. The drape over my bed was a black, white, and pink sheer with retro ladies printed on it, and there were hats and purses in there, too.
Master bath - Hard to describe! lol - Colors were black, ivory, deep red, and sage green. Pictures were French sketches of shoes with flowers all around them, and distressed tin pockets that were in the shape of flowers. I never got a shower curtain in there, lol, just a clear liner, but the accessories were all black.
I think that's it. Mary (AmeliaBedelia) saw it, so if I missed anything, ask her! ;)
I don't think you missed anything...
It looked good :great:
I'm gonna have her come help me when I get a place LOL

I think you are awesome! I would give you a billion dollars if I could!
How come you'd give Ole Ethyl a billion bucks and not ME? I'm special, too, ya know? :cry2:
I missed this thread somehow...I too was not sure what kind of discussion this would be, being in the cultural area and all.
I like Black and White. But not everything in black and white.

A little black looks nice with pink and white. :thumbsup2:
my furniture is brown tho so its kinda a pink and brown thing lol most of my church clothes are black and white.... but that was an accident lol i didnt even notice till recently
I tend to buy similar colors also, it makes it easier to mix and match and make different outfits. :thumbsup2:
I always said my favorite color was pink but every time I looked at something and said I liked it a lot, it was usually blue.
I love black and white, too. I wish I could find a really nice black and white blouse for my long black skirt. I used to have one I really liked but it got faded and whent for a ride to the Goodwill.

That is beautiful Sis.
That black/white/red flower one would look awesome in my house!
I have a black/white/animal print theme going on in my apartment. I've always dreamed of a total black and white bedroom with spashes of either red or yellow.
Since I'm moving this next week, I'll have a chance to let things filter to the top or go to goodwill and allow the look that I want to re-emerge. We'll see what happens. :-)
I had to add one of my Black White and Red's... :grin:

Pretty!
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/hsh/791087319.html
It's already sold, and the list will come down tonight or tomorrow, but here's the rug I had in my dining room for awhile.
It's REALLY cool, but I just don't have room for it now. I like my leopard print thing, anyway. I have a small rug with leopard print that I'm keeping. It's REALLY cool! :-)
Aww Man! When did you sell it! RJ! I cant believe you! :grin: you shouldve called me!
ohh yeah... shipping... :sadbounce:

Sorry, Chel. I just needed to get rid of stuff. And you're right. Shipping woulda been a killer for sure!
Try this, though:
