Black & White Forever

It is officially the end of October - which means it is that much closer to my favorite holiday: Halloween. In preparation here is a round-up of home goods that work especially well for this spooktacular month- but can also be incorporated into your space through out the year because black & white is timeless. Beginning with home accessories, which at the moment I can't get enough of- the Vintage Vogue Rain tray by Charolette Cannon is my new current obsession. Simple, modern, three sizes to choose from, and a pinch feminine, it is great for use in any room of the house. The Vintage Vogue Rain tray pairs well the Bean coffee table by McCollin Bryan. Although scagliola, the coffee table looks like buffed black marble. Now, instead of the predictable geometric Moroccan black and white shag rug, give the Aldana rug a try (it also comes in a burnt orange color!) For task lighting the gold dipped lamp also from Anthropologie is a more affordable option for those that enjoy a mid-century aesthetic. And, I could not do a black & white round-up without including pillows and a sofa! The Citizenry has so many beautiful pillows, it's hard not purchasing more than a few at a time. For the sofa (or arm chair) the butter leather with black legs Rondo sofa by Lucky Kurrein for Molinari is craftsmanship at its best.
