<p>I&#8217;ve been on this black &amp; white kick lately. Everything I want to design has to have black &amp; white. It&#8217;s a struggle, believe me, especially when clients want wood.</p>
<p>Living in a smaller West End space myself, I have to find unique and interesting ways to use space, and one way is with white. You can see from this 185 Sq. Ft. (17 sq. m.) <a href="http://www.alvhemmakleri.se/index.php?page=hem-till-salu&amp;object_id=OBJ17735_1045718012">apartment for sale in Gothenburg, Sweden</a>, that the predominant use of positive and negative makes the space feel huge. What it also does, is makes the other colours pop from their background. Not to say that you can&#8217;t do this with another colour, say the <a href="http://coreyklassen.ca/2009/09/01/its-back-its-black-and-youre-gonna-love-it-black-apartment-on-video-via-dwell/">Black Apartment</a>, but you can see how the white makes you feel fresh and crisp, while an opposite use of black as the primary colour would make you feel sexy and sleek.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m off to plan a white shirt rebellion.</p>

<p>So I&#8217;m reading my feeds this morning and I&#8217;m doing my usual scan for my chic picks and eco-chic picks (which are new categories I just added because I love the label) and I came across this:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://coreyklassen.ca/wp-content/uploads/okhyo-photo-tiles-10_rect5401.jpg" rel="thumbnail" rel="lightbox[2166]"><img class="size-full wp-image-2167 aligncenter" title="[exclude]okhyo-photo-tiles-10_rect540[1]" src="http://coreyklassen.ca/wp-content/uploads/okhyo-photo-tiles-10_rect5401.jpg" alt="" width="314" height="540" /></a></p>
<p>After I finished throwing up (because this is a disgustingly gross picture, I mean, the least <a href="http://www.okhyo.com/">Okhyo</a> could have done here is added a sexy or sentual picture that makes you want to clean yourself rather than feel like you&#8217;re being dumped on by a thousands pounds of water) I came across the kitchen backsplash pic which is much more interesting:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://coreyklassen.ca/wp-content/uploads/okhyo-photo-tiles-7_rect5401.jpg" rel="thumbnail" rel="lightbox[2166]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2168" title="okhyo-photo-tiles-7_rect540[1]" src="http://coreyklassen.ca/wp-content/uploads/okhyo-photo-tiles-7_rect5401.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="282" /></a></p>
<p>Now, be warned that this isn&#8217;t really something that we should all rush out and do to our backspashes because, afterall, there is a bit of a goddy factor when considering your photo backsplash; but I think it&#8217;s a cool idea for a more minimalist space.</p>
<p>Is it a hit or a miss?</p>
