How interesting to see your home in b&w. My favorites were photos 3, 4 and 5, and the guest room. The lucite takes on a whole new glamour! Wow.

I just came across this interior designer’s portfolio and thought of this post… he uses b&w photography for his site – interesting, no?

This is fascinating. I admit, I’ve never thought about interior photography in black and white but OF COURSE they would be… I love the idea of contrasts, shadows and texture being so important to carry them without the colour. I mean, I’m a colour lover myself – I couldn’t imagine what my home would look like without it. Yours actually takes on a different but still really striking look. I have to say, with Scandinavian design being so popular here in the UK and so much of it in b&w, I always feel like it doesn’t hold as much appeal to me – it feels a bit cold. But I suppose it’s a totally different challenge to ensure the other elements are there to carry it when it’s devoid of colour. All I can say is I’m so happy we have colour photographs! Ha! I don’t know if I would be as enamoured with interiors today if it wasn’t for colour. Anyway, your post got me thinking – and I loved that!! Thanks for the post 😉 xxx

I love the post Brynne! I am obsessed with black and white photography but that is because that is where I started with my photography as I learnt using film photography and developing in a darkroom. I regularly use black and white photography in my posts for detail shots as I like that they have the ability to remove distractions and make you focus more on the subject. You can see my how mixed in black and white photography here: http://www.coloursaturatedlife.com/refreshing-a-vintage-ladder/ – it is such a fun way to mix up a post (especially when my posts are so photo heavy!) Love that you did a home tour in black and white it make you look at your home differently and gives a new perspective.

Your house is beautiful in black in white just as it is in color! You are definitely a talented person…I love how different your blog is compared to most home decor blogs! Awesome read, Brynne.

Such an interesting experiment. I really enjoyed looking at those old photos. I would have thought the red white and blue sofa would have been strictly black and white (because that’s what I would have chosen haha). Your home looks lovely, glad you were able to see texture and layers in an entirely different way.

It does – what a good way to put it! And I guess I like feeling melancholy? I could pore over the vintage photos for hours. I like that they challenge me to think about shapes and color value and contrast, which I tend to skip considering in my own home… But in real life, I do love being surrounded by colors!
