Color Obsession: black & white

Black & white patterns & prints have been catching my attention these days. I don't mean the black & white in black & white photos.

Somehow, this 'black & white' doesn't feel lively enough for the festive season at hand. The black & white I am drawn to these days is black & white in full color... Like the stunning black & white striped curtains in the photo above and this striped chair...

Or this woman's elegant combination of black & white checks & polka dots...

Or these black & white chevron prints and shower curtain illustration here...

Or even the Darth Vader wall decal here...

Don't you think these fun & quirky patterns & prints take the austere out of black & white? I just love black & white in full color.

Oh, and I just had to add these season-appropriate, black & white striped gifts!
