A Fresh Take on the Classic Black & White Interior

I usually post about interiors with lots of color - I guess because that's what I'm naturally drawn to. But today I'm going to switch it up with a home tour that might be lacking in the bright color department...but definitely isn't lacking in taste, style and warmth! Located in Houston, this home is filled with pops of bold wallpaper, black and white photography, and antique fixtures. Notice how the designer incorporated antique gold accents with the classic modern decor - a combination that totally works. There are lots of interesting little details in each room that really pull everything together. Enjoy :)

    Ridiculously beauteous. (Although not too sure about tufted bed gone overboard)

    I have been trying to figure out what shade of gray this bedroom and bathroom are. The color was not listed in the Veranda magazine article. The folks at decorpad believe the bedroom is BM Winter Gates. But I would also love to know what the bathroom is. Does anyone have any ideas?
