And many English entry halls have the classic white marble with black insets! And elegant "court shoes" in black and white -- with black Chanel suit or the Little Black Dress with pearls! The Crown Derby china is gorgeous -- just imagine the sexy come-hither supper table that set would create! LOL! <BR/><BR/>Another wonderful entry! Many thanks!!

The first bedroom I was ever allowed to do of my own as a teenager was completely black and white (it was the 80's). But some things just never go out of style. I love that tray too - wonder if that has been developed since Miles Redd became creative director at Oscar de la Renta Home..?Suzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18245251599939279346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-10061303408794228712007-08-24T16:07:00.000-04:002007-08-24T16:07:00.000-04:00Thanks Courtney!Thanks Courtney!The Peak of Chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02811933436075145329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-55241514836168457402007-08-24T16:04:00.000-04:002007-08-24T16:04:00.000-04:00Wow, Jennifer so many sharp examples!
