THE BLACK & WHITE OF INSPIRED DESIGN!

Living room by Jeff Andrews Design with black and white checker board tile floor, white walls, grand black paned windows with chartreuse curtains and white slipcovered armchairs and sofa

Love these two rooms from a home in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles. Designer Jeff Andrews demonstrates that rooms with a simple two toned black and white theme can actually be full of color!

The Los Angeles based designer artfully decorated the living room (above) by making the biggest design statement on the floor… the bold black and white checker tiles (or flooring) set the stage for this dramatically elegant and clever room. White walls, grand windows trimmed in black, yellow curtains, white slipcovered armchairs and sofa, black and white framed art hanging and leaning on the walls, throw pillows that pick up the black and white theme, and a bird cage top off the rest of the design.

In the kitchen, Jeff takes simple white cabinets to the next level by painting prominent black borders and trim around the doors – giving the whole room a retro 1950’s vibe. Cabinet drawers are all also tied into the black and white color scheme…all dotted with black drawer pulls. Vintage looking appliances also get the black trim treatment. Wood block countertops and wood floors blend well with the overall theme. In this photo, we also get a glimpse of what is probably an original iron door or gate that leads into this stylish and well designed kitchen.

Thank you Jeff for letting me post these fab photos!

An easy fall tablescape you can actually recreate.An easy fall tablescape you can actually recreate. 🍂
You don’t need a perfectly styled table or a dozen new pieces to make a fall gathering feel special. Start with what you already have and layer in a few simple details.
Think woven placemats + simple white plates + gingham napkins + fresh greenery. Add clear glassware and a simple centerpiece, and you have a table that feels warm, collected, and ready for dinner with friends.
The best part? Most of these elements can work beyond fall, too. Just switch out the napkin pattern or greenery and you have a completely different look.
Save this for your next fall gathering and use it as a starting point for your own table. 🤎

Custom millwork. Steel-framed doors. A main level that finally flows the way it should. Every space here earns its place, nothing feels like leftover square footage.

A blank wall isn’t neutral, it’s a missed opportunity. The right piece doesn’t just fill space, it gives a whole room a reason to exist.

The spaces that get it right pair it with warm oak, aged brass, and something worn-in: an antique dresser, a vintage runner, a hand-thrown vase.
