today's color combo is one that i have been "working" on for a while. mostly b/c it's been difficult to find images of interiors that i love. although that said i don't always LOVE the color combos i do. for example the black and yellow wasn't a fave even though i liked it quite a bit. maybe just not for me. this one though i really really love. there is something magical and mysterious about this combination of colors. together they remind me of my cool grandmother (granny franny- we called her) who was very un-granny in her choices. she was slick and stylish, ahead of the curve. i think this color combination is ahead of the curve too. i say this b/c as you will see there are many different shades of green out there to be combined with black; lime, olive, kelly, forest, and my favorite and the slickest of all...emerald. this is the green i have in mind when i am thinking of this combo. the one i like best. and it. was. almost. impossible. to. find. in any case, they all work (greens) and are lovely.
