Black & White




A couple of weeks ago, something happened to me that has never happened before.  I entered a blog giveaway and I won.  I WON!!  Can you believe it?  And today, my prize arrived: a SIGNED copy of Celerie Kemble's new book, Black & White (and a bit in between).



Signed!



Here's proof:


Oh, Celerie.  I'm sure I will find plenty of pages to dog ear.
(!!!!!)



Here are a few peeks at her new book:









It's very interesting to hear Celerie's perspective on black & white.  For a designer who (at times) is defined by her bold use of color, the black and white palette can feel refined.  Celerie says that it shows restraint.  Editing a room down to such a simplified scheme can sometimes be the most fascinating.  The book is a compilation of rooms designed by Celerie herself, as well as other interior design superstars (think Bunny Williams, Victoria Hagan, Carrier & Co, and Miles Redd to name a few). 


Thank you to Brittany (of The House That Lars Built) for hosting this fabulous giveaway.  I'm so glad I won this excellent prize.  :)


I think that I'll go out and buy a lottery ticket now.
