WHITE

TODAY

I want white
I want a clean palette, a clean slate

dotted by warm wood and naturals
a touch of elegance and style
bringing attention to special things that mean something to me
Less distraction from things that deserve attention
Yep, I want white
beauty, texture, a peaceful place for my eyes to land
a billowy cloudlike place for my head to rest
a deep breath of clean and fresh
and light, light, and enlightenment

yes........I'm dreaming of >>>>>>>>>
WHITE
ahhhh....
(all pics from country living and better homes and gardens)

Ohh, I love all of these pictures. I have much this same style. All white walls, except the kitchen yet to do. I had light "beach sand" color carpet put in through out last year and I love it. I love the beach look, even though I'm a mountain girl through and through.
Take care, Susan

I am getting my staircase, entry, loft and hallway painted SW Navajo White as I write! And, I'm not doing it! Yippee! I had to clean out my loft so he could get to the walls. I'm trying to figure out how to not put it all back in. ;-)

Weathered white..., elegant white. I love it all. It just feels so open and "divine".

Angie said...

I am with you on this! What wonderful pictures of inspiration. I find myself craving more simplicity lately....I really think you need to live near the beach...you would be so happy there, my friend!

Hugs ~ Angie

I love white! But unfortunately I live in a place that gets its ambiance from paint peeling walls and rusty nails sticking out everywhere...Believe me when I say it gets old! (no pun intended)

I just loved loosing myself in those pics...Pam

Oh I love the pictures! I agree with you about the white. It can be very classy or very simple depending on your mood!! It has a calming effect too, then when your creative mode kicks in, you splash it with color!! I am a huge fan of Black and White! Have a wonderful weekend!! Thank you for all the sweet words on my blog!
Love Lilly

Beautiful pictures. I wish I could afford more magazines. I love going through and looking at pictures.

Wonderful pictures, I love the look. Wouldn't work for me with two teens, a black dog and a black cat. I have to do the bold colors!

Hugs

Maybe you will be able to have that white palette in the new home you made an offer on!
