I just LOVE this dining room! Black and white are so classic and sharp, and then throw in a bright color and it looks great.  The pop of color comes from the sideboard in a pretty grassy, lime green and the bowl of pears.  I really like the simplicity of the drum shade light fixture with an asymmetrical design on the fabric.  And the plates, oh the plates! And the unique animal shaped items (bowls, salt and pepper shaker) They are so fun!  This picture is from www.livingetc.com

Below is another black and white dining room.  This has a little more black and  makes it feel balanced.  Again, I really like this light fixture and the touches of black.  This picture is also from www.livingetc.com
