This is a third in a series based on the September, 2011, color issue of House Beautiful. An article called "Drama Dahling" presents the ideas of designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard creating a "MGM" moment. While using other colors throughout the home, Martyn creates a black and white foundation in a variety of ways (in addition to use on upholstered furniture pieces:
- High-gloss black front door
- Black and white checkerboard foyer (I LOVE this look)
- Ebonized floors
- Black borders on curtains

| Brookhaven Settee in Starburst Silk with Ebonized Legs |
The designer feels that the "white" should actually be an antique white/ivory to tone everything down. I have used the black and white combination for many of my pieces and also like to "ebonize" legs to provide a great contrast.
Here are some of my great black and white pieces - ones that could certainly support more than a little drama in a wonderful setting!
