A Zebra Without Stripes

Well I couldn't stand it any longer - I felt like a zebra without my stripes with the white background. Thank you so much everyone for your fantastic feedback. The new site will be up and running in 3 weeks time so you'll all have to stay tuned!!

White Background

So, here I am in white - just to show you. What do you think? Personally I think it looks terrible (on my site) and I don't think it shows off the pictures as well as the black. My site is dominated by images and not text so I think I need to select a background which makes the images stand out. I just don't think the white background is me but tell me what you think...

P.S. This is just me changing the colours - my new customised design is well on it's way and I have pretty much chosen what I will be having. I am just doing this exercise to get your feedback as I am very interested to hear everyone's opinion. I love to workshop ideas with my girls at Black & Spiro so this is what I am doing: workshopping with you!!

Inspired By Historic Architecture

I was very inspired when I stumbled across these images of Little Moreton Hall, Cheshire, England. Built sometime between 1450 & 1580 by the Moreton family, Little Moreton Hall is arguably one of the finest half timbered tudor style manor houses in England. I just love the visual appeal of the black and white (timber & mortar) designs on the exterior of the building. I could imagine a black and white fabric inspired by this amazing building.
