Monday Mash-up: Black + Tan
Monday, November 16, 2009 I’m not much for pale ale or dark beer or layering of either, but I find a black and tan interior to be quite tasty. Especially if within that color palette, the furnishings and decor are a nice mix of periods and types.

Don’t get me wrong. I love a cold beer. But, my tastes never matured from an icy-cold, almost watery American brew. Which I like to layer with salt and vinegar potato chips.

These speak directly to my heart! Oh, and I think you might like what i did with my dining room...
And there's nothing wrong with a delicious Lone Star beer. It's all American!
I'll take the chips, never cared much for beer, but hot damn(!) these interiors have me craving black and tan!
Never thought a room painted black would appeal to
me at all. But the fourth photo is gorgeous -- the black
looks night-timey warm and embracing.
Agree about the black walls - don't think I'd have the courage to do that... but it's so beautiful & serene here combined with the ivory and tan.
One more thing - I have a friend who has a teensy half bath off her foyer. She painted the walls high gloss black and hung dozens of pretty 5x7 gilt frames with black & white photographs of friends. It feels like a cozy private place rather than a too-small lavoratory.
I too am a big fan of this color combo! Nice post!
