rachelru Thanks so much Becky, for your quick and helpful response, and for your always cool, clever, funny and beautiful ideabooks. I found another photo that's also wonderful (see below), and will keep up my search for a similarly gorgeous black and white that's horizontal. http://www.art.com/products/p14004659-sa-i2771002/gordon-coster-diver-dorothy-williamson-performing-dive.htm?sorig=cat&sorigid=0&dimvals=5081466&ui=51455c56707b47599468cd0ce6059e33

Becky Harris Oh thanks so much, and that photo is way cool. I never thought about using diving photos before I saw this one in this project! There certainly are some spectacular photos of dives out there!

added by Becky Harris to Houzz Tour: Freshening Up a Modern California Box
The photograph belonged to the owner and De Vargas decided to mount it on the glass block. "It is framed in light plexiglass, so we were able to attach it to the window with a bunch of sticky stuff," De Vargas explains.
The classic mid-century modern Nelson Pendant Lamp is counterbalanced by a vintage pie crust table found on eBay. A black lacquer tray and crisp chevron patterned pillows in black and white keep some of the lines clean, in balance with all of the new softer lines De Vargas added.

Break up the glass block. A large expanse of glass block can be an institutional-looking snooze. Why not break it up with a spectacular photograph?
added by Becky Harris to 5 Smashing Black and White Homes
5. A contemporary box in Venice Beach. In this contemporary home, interior designer Vanessa De Vargas carries substantial black and white pieces throughout the home, often in chevron patterns. This gave her the freedom to mix in shots of bold color in every room while keeping a cohesive look throughout the entire first floor.
