Painted and White #1

Sometimes it is hard to figure out why I like certain things

a fragrance

a color

a great pair of shoes

In my case...recently I have had a love affaire with white floors

I know...it should be ice cream

 or 

guys with great style

or 

small fat little puppies 

but nah...white floors it is

 it is the clean simpleness 

that draws me to them

are they practical?  

don't know

 and who cares

they just have the 

"it"

 thing

I am thinking....no...considering 

could you?

would you?

 a pickle? 

or 

 a  glaze?

Should I?

The Power of White

Rethinking white: the quiet non color
Some of the more perfect small houses have a common thread...the color white or the lack of strong colors in the design scheme


I have recently rekindled my love affair with white rooms.  While a bold wall color can be really stunning there is an amazing interesting thing that happens in the all white room.  
Edges are sharper and cleaner, and each accessory and object takes on more importance.


The placement of objects and continuous editing seems to be the hallmark of the white room.  It is almost as if the lack of things makes the white space even more appealing and fresh.
Who doesn't love a beautiful white bedroom
Beige as a backdrop to the perfect white chair
Unadorned windows are so appealing and allow the light to flow in a more quiet manner.

The Grey accent is simple and contrasts so beautifully here.
