BLACK FRIDAY!

No I'm not depressed.
My Black Friday
is not referring to the 
Financial Crisis of 1869 
where the market crashed 
because of attempts to corner and control 
the gold market .... 
or the 
day after Thanksgiving shopping binge 
which has been called Black Friday 
since policemen used the term
due to the difficult traffic Philadelphia
in the mid 60's  ....
BUT ...

We have White Wednesday
and 
Pink Saturday

Isn't it TIME for a
BLACK FRIDAY?

It is said
black "grounds" a room and
every room needs a little black.

I have a lot of black bits in the
Who Villa ...

But let me share some images 
from some other folks.
image from Better Homes and Gardens

lots of lovely pics ...
GO!
Even if you are CONVINCED
you HATE black.





BTW
if you haven't been following the
ADVENTURES 
of their reno
you are missing some great stuff!

Black plays well with others.
Whether on the front stoop in London
or a living room.

Black doesn't eliminate your flexibility.

Look at this room from 

here's a basic room ...
nothing crazy

add orange for fall ... still works!

What about Christmas?
Trendy spring colors?
Yep - that too!
This quote

"Black is the new Black"

Gotta love it!
"Fasten your seat belts: Black is the new black. Decoratively speaking, it's been known as somber, soigné, and serious. But when you want to pull out all the stops, you pull out the black."

Bottom line ...
isn't it time for a little
DRAMA
in your life ...

your DECORATING LIFE
that is, lol!

Invite black into your home
and have some fun!

Candlesticks - any style! 


A dresser, perhaps?

Ask your house ...
what kind of LBD is it waiting for you 
to find (or paint!)?


Hugs and have a stunningly wonderful "Black Friday"!

Does anyone else like black bits?  Can you do a post with pics and tell me about it?

  1. What a cute idea! I love black and have lots of it in my house.

    Well, I've never hosted a linky party so I have no words of advice other than you need to make a button for it and then spread the word via leaving comments.
