Black on Black

During my many vacation trips to Bahamas I always fell in love with the colourful homes and buildings.  I mean who wouldn't want to live in something so bright!?  It's a refreshing change to the beige homes in my area.

This past weekend I drove past (and totally regret not taking any pics) two homes side by side completely black on black!  I forgot about Bahamas and fell in love!  With the help of Pinterest and Google I found some more amazing painted black homes!

I automatically think of contemporary when I think of homes painted black.

But the older, more traditional buildings / homes definitely have more impact!

The one above is my fav.  The high gloss black door is stunning with it's brass hardware.

How cute is this place?  I had to throw it in for good measure.

Benjamin Moore Black Jack # 2133-20

Benjamin Moore Black Knight # 2136-10

If I had a house I would probably pick either of those two blacks.  If only my condo corp. would paint my building black!

India Hicks

My up and coming honeymoon to the Bahamas has lead me to discover the beautiful work of India Hicks.  Although I am more familiar with her father's work; British interior designer David Hicks; I have always known her to be a model and goddaughter to the prince of wales.   Alongside her fine jewelry collection, her website offers carefully collected pieces that have been sourced from all over the globe.  When I stumbled across this jewel of a website, there was instant chemistry.
