black & white is just right

The black and white combo is nothing new but it seems to stand the test of time. The combination is classic, chic and looks great on its own or as a base with some color thrown in. It works for both interiors-bedrooms, living rooms, kitchen etc and clothing, shoes and accessories! The first photo is of my moms beautiful black & white inspired mantel! What do you think of the combo?
