For today's color combo, we thought we'd start with black and white, then spin the wheel for bold accent colors. We love the way yellow offsets the high-contrast scheme in this room, so we went on a search for other cool rooms that do the same using orange, purple, green, blue, red, and pink...

Does anyone know where glass and brass coffee table in the first picture is from?
Yes -- I agree with Lucy! Must know more about that coffee table. Help??
Forget the coffee table, I adore that curlie-cue bench!
LOVE the first picture.
Especially, the wallpaper
I love the bench too! I'd love to have it red. And the Wallpaper of the first picture...love love love.........
Neat idea for a post. To jump on the bandwagon of asking where stuff is from: Does anyone know about the office chairs from pictures 2 [Blue accent] and 5 [Orange accent]?
Not sure about the blue one but the orange chair is the Saarinen Executive Armchair with Metal Legs. You can find these vintage or from places like DWR and Knoll.
I really do like the recent black/white trend for homes and also clothing. I was never into color schemes before, but B&W is so EASY, and just one other color really makes it look great.
Much easier than trying to pick a few coordinating colors.
I'm doing my bedroom in black, white, gray, and blue. I have a lot of trouble getting to sleep, and staying asleep. I'm hoping that the monochromatic scheme will be very non-stimulating.
yummy yummy on the black white and purple.
And the crazy last picture with the plaid wall paper juxtaposed with the medallions. I'd throw the black white and purple furniture and rug into the last picture, and call it good. :)
yeah for black, white, and yellow!

Wow, the colors are just so appealing.
I love the B/W and green one! And the curlicue bench is awesome.
In general, I don't like the black and white look because it seems too contrived to me. It makes pretty photos tho.
anyone know where to get the yellow lacquer lamps (or something similar) from the top image? thanks!
This is a very late reply, but I happened upon these posts & I recognize the top photo from the store plantation in Venice, CA. That is the top floor of their store, so I'm sure if you ask them about anything in the picture they can direct you to it. They also do custom pieces, so I'm sure they can do the bench in red. Here is their website:

Hope that helps.
does anyone know where I can get the black and white wallpaper with the birds in the trees (the black, white and yellow combo)? i've been looking for it for months! I know ferm living has a similar one, but I really love the one above.
I love the loft feel of the room in the top photo, enhanced by the b/w tree limbs-and-birds wallpaper, like you're up in the tree tops.
I would love to know where to get that bench as well!
