Well hello there sexy Design Crisis patrons, my name is Jennifer Perkins and I’ll be your guest host for the day. Typically you can find me blathering on over at Naughty Secretary Club, but today I thought I would stop by and try to amaze and excite you with my current favorite interior color combination black, white and yellow. I love it so much that I had to split the post between Design Crisis and Naughty Secretary Club as to not hit the “oh my Gawd that is an obnoxious amount of pictures” limit on either blog. So if this post tickles your taste buds cruise it on over to my site for a little more.
First let me preface this with the fact that I love vintage home decorating books. A stroll through memory lane in a few vintage design books is a real eye opener as to where some designers got their inspiration.
Take for instance fashion maven and design whiz Kelly Wearstler. She is not immune to the black, white and yellow bug from the looks of these pictures from the Viceroy Palm Springs Hotel.
Perhaps like myself Kelly owns a complete set of The Practical Encyclopedia of Good Decorating and Home Improvement and refers to the scrumptious pictures often for a little inspiration. I know I do!
I like to think that the adjoining bathroom at The Viceroy looks something like this.
Spill a little of your 40 out for your dead design homies. Domino Magazine featured many a black, white and yellow room before their untimely demise.
More vintage goodness to further prove my what comes around goes around point.
Um ya rad wallpaper ahoy maties. The squared off window treatment curls my toes too. Reminds me of the curtains in my daughters room.
No home is complete without a jungle room. Seriously I have one, I just call it my Florida Room.
While searching Flickr I stumbled upon a few black, white and yellow rooms. Well ok this one does not have any white. The stark contrast of the yellow bed against the black wall makes damn sure that no matter how drunk you are when you stumble into your room at night you will not miss the bed when you pass out.
I want to roll out of that bed and have breakfast in this room, again from The Practical Encyclopedia of Good Decorating and Home Improvement
After breakfast I retire to my study to do a little blogging and see whats happening on Twitter and Perez Hilton.
Last, but not least, I want to give a big black, white and yellow to shout out to Erin and her new Le Bebe. We miss you, hurry back!

Love! I did a roundup of yellow not to long ago on my blog. I love that color so much. And that nursery is almost too cool for a baby.
I love the nursery too. When I posted the pictures on Flickr someone left a comment on the picture asking if the nursery belonged to my daughter Tallulah. I almost didn’t want to respond so people would think that. It’s not a lie if you just let people assume right?
That nursery is my favorite favorite kids room ever. I totally plan on, um, borrowing some of the ideas if / when I ever need a spot to house a baby.
Also, thanks for all the vintage scans, they are amazing! Someone should do an entire blog with just scans from vintage design books.
Aww Tallulah! She’s doesn’t need a fancy nursery with an adorable name like that.
You’ve made me see my husband’s mother’s guest bathroom in a whole new light. Thank you. Nice post lady! I love the color combo.
I need to get me a jungle room…
Amy, my jungle room is my fave room in the house. Zebra skin rug, giant panda head and a taxidermied alligator – it makes me happy.
Jesse glad I could help mend that family bathroom rift.
Karly you should totally do a nursery like this. I love the striped celing, but the ironic black walls are a giggler too. Babies can’t see pastels at first and prefer black and white so it seems appropriate. Another angle of the nursery is on my blog apparently the babies name is Becket which I love.
Speaking of names, thanks Alison. Her full name is Tallulah fawn. Growing up with 7 other Jennifers in every class I knew my kids would have unusual names.
oh that bed head is one of my all time fav sexy numbers. Makes me wanna – oh you dont need to know!!!!
psst – whats status on the babby mumma & kidling? Any name to announce – have I missed an announcement? tell me everything!
Well, the last time I tried to post a note, I screwed up twice and gave up. So, here goes again, Nice Site. I wish you would do mine!
