Did you ever consider how a little thing could be so motivating?
I started drinking my coffee black over a year ago.
I like it black. It took my husband some getting used to. He kept bringing me coffee with milk in the morning until I simply said two words. It's the little things that can be very motivating.
Black please.
It's not that I had anything against milk but I wanted a change.
I also love when I order coffee out. Just saying black coffee sounds so simple yet bold.
Black please.
How about you?
What little change have you made that pleased you?
I love black, and must reighn myself! It's more than a great accent colour, and find it grounds a space. Happy Thanksgiving Patricia!
ReplyDeletedidn't correct reign...oops
ReplyDeleteLoving the black too (and a husband that brings one coffee)..... but, unfortunately, don't know if I could make the leap with my coffee..... more of a cream girl there. Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteThe debate still exists in our house on if the new doors and trim will be black or not. It always looks so classy and elegant. - Tonya
ReplyDeleteI love black accessories, clothing but not coffee. I recently stop having splenda in mine and thought that was huge! Have a wonderful Monday!
ReplyDeleteI just changed our outside doors to black. It has made such a difference. A real statement! I also love the few pieces of black furniture that I have throughout the house. I agree with Michelle. It grounds a space.
ReplyDeleteGreat post. The first photo is amazing!!!
I'm all over those black floors right now...in a sober way! X
ReplyDeleteI think every room needs a good shot of black - small or large! As for my coffee, I'm still a milk girl although I take my espresso in its pure black state!!
ReplyDeletewhat a coincidence -i just bought black paint from sherwin williams to begin painting all of my doors black! It's such a sharp look, no? Fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteFunny you should be talking about black, although I also take my coffee black, and my bedroom set is black.And I would love to paint my doors black, I recently started adding more punches of color to my home and wardrobe. I feel so wild ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful simple images. You always do a great Monday Motivation. Love it!
ReplyDeleteBlack is my favorite go-to color--in rooms it adds just the right about of energy without being too assertive or obnoxious. I still need some milk and a tiny tweke (how do you spell that?) of sugar. But then I drink my coffee super strong. Have a wonderful week. Are the boys coming for Thanksgiving?

I love straight black espresso to start my day. I've been drinking it that way since my days as a barista way back in college. One shot, two shots, should I have a third? Is the question every morning. Love your pretty black bits here. Very motivating. XO
ReplyDeletePS - Thanks for your very kind comment this morning!
I love white. Black is the opposite, but together they are divine! No black coffee for me.....café au lait, please.
ReplyDeleteWe're black coffee drinkers and dark chocolate eaters... And the color features prominently in our wardrobes, too! Though we'd like to make a change and add a little color here and there.

I have always loved black and I love mixing various sheens of black together. I've painted my fireplace bricks black and love it! The new beadboard in the library/dining room will be painted black as well!
ReplyDeletePatricia,
ReplyDeleteI love that you made a change and are sticking to it!! I am still a milk with my coffee gal, but who knows?!! I do love black...wasn't it Dorothy Draper that said every room needs a spot of black?
I am working on mindfulness...every day. To take a few minute to set my inner compass, prioritize and stay focused on what really matters. I'm a work in progress on that!

I adore those black accents!every room needs some black but my coffee-I am like Loi-café au lait, please. xxpeggybraswelldesign.com
ReplyDeleteLovely. It reminds me all of the simplicity of the pilgrims. There was a lot of black and white too.
ReplyDeleteLove the black accents and try to utilize it in my home. My front door was painted black. Now need to add more to the inside. Am doing a kitchen remodel soon and will have black and white there somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI started drinking my coffee black when all there was at restaurants, etc. was that phony creamer stuff, so now I can have my coffee however I like wherever I am!
