Gilmore is a 27 year old who loves decorating especially bold black and white color palettes. Always Consult a Professional Before Starting a DIY Project. Header picture from Photo Express.
Usually when I think of black and white decor it's as an overall color scheme. There is something to be said as using it to finish out your palette if you have daring red or purple walls for balance. The only colors I can think of that it wouldn't work with are brown and possibly yellow because it might look like a bumble bee. If you don't know what to match your wall color with fill out your palettte with a few neutrals.
Rental property
Guest post from: Kent Lara
My husband is in real estate, and he recently decided to buy a second home. With the interest rates as low as they currently are, he decided that we could afford a second home to rent out. He is much more of a risk taker than I am, but he has also made a very good living in real estate over the years. He was an investor in a restaurant that did very well, and he made a great deal of money when he was bought out. His plan is to rent out the home after he makes a few minor upgrades. He got the house for a great deal, and the home we live in is paid off. We used to own a number of rental properties that we sold almost ten years ago. Jim just feels that the market is so good for buyers right now that he wanted to take advantage of the situation. He is planning on using fixed-rate energy through http://www.texaselectricityproviders.com/ in the home to keep the energy costs predictable. While renting can sometimes be a pain, like when the water heater goes out or some other major repair needs to happen, it can also be highly lucrative.

The Best Black and White Decor
Some of my favorite options for black and white decor is just on artwork. When I've had apartments I've learned to have to decorate with all of my roommates posters. They just look so much better even if they are in black and white since the subject matter never is related. Instead of scattering them throughout your entire apartment I just like them all on one wall; even floor to ceiling.

When Not to Do It Yourself
I do have a green thumb and I can grow plants. I would love to live in an area where gardening on a much bigger scale is possible but I only have room for just a few containers on a balcony. I use these for vegetables. Even when people have yards here they usually don't have flowers because it's a desert.
Sending flowers is actually cheaper than spending the time and money on watering where I live in most cases. Plus, since I'm horrible at arranging them I'd much rather have Serenataflowers.com do it for me. I can get blossoms I'd never be able to get in my area like white orchids. I love the look of lavender roses but it just isn't practical for my area.

Sister Wives Fashion Tips
In Utah it's nice that a lot of people focus on dressing modestly. However, it also leaves me wondering at times if something is popular only in this state. One of these things has to do with a long sleeve t-shirt in winter with either a tank top or a low cut top on top of that. The TLC show Sister Wives showcases this look all the time. Do people in other areas of the country dress like this too?
