Black magic

This is one of those looks that seem simple at first, but ultimately show a lot of sophistication and planning. Those are some sweet-looking built-ins and these people aren't messing around.

I mean, here you go. That wood counter meeting a marble pedestal is pretty hard-core. (Sidenote: I still love those Tom Dixon pendants.)

I also remain a fan of black-stained wood, which you can see is a motif throughout the house. Presumably they have someone to clean the floors for them. Note also the yellow piping on the shelves above the computer.

The yellow is used again for the window frames. A nice, sunny contrast with all the black. Overall, the home manages to be both sophisticated and livable. Not an easy combination, and it's great to see someone pull it off.
