White Rooms

Love em!

I've loved that above photo for a very long time.

Remember when I said by the end of the weekend my living room would be all painted?

Well, it didn't happen. I tried...but I had to do other things that I didn't plan on.

So though I painted on Sunday for a few hours...it wasn't enough to get it done.

But today....today...I'm off and I just need a good four or five hours to finish it up.

So surely, surely...my room will be done by tonight.

I resisted going white walls cause I'd lived with white walls so much of my life as a renter.

But you know...I never minded them and they were always just plain white.

The white I chose for my walls is just the perfect shade.

The white I chose is Shoji White by Sherwin Williams.

It can look bright white in the sunlight but as the sun changes in the room...it greatly changes.

It can look very greige in dimmer light.

I think it was the perfect choice.

So today I thought I'd just share some of my favorite white rooms from my Pinterest boards.

This room really speaks to me...all that pink but those white walls are what make the pink and the dark wood so good.

I should have photos of my room to share this week.

That is if nothing comes up today.

What Do You Think?

Moody Blue?

Isn't this a cozy spot?

I adore this room even if it is full of boots.

Back to the Question at hand...

Moody Blue

or

Cloud White?

Oh...you can't beat this marshmallow of a room with it's candy colored furniture.

Love the different shades of blue/turquoise in this white room.

I've been wanting to paint my living room and dining room for quite some time.

I keep going back and forth between sea foam green walls or white walls.

I've pinned favorite rooms over and over trying to decide.

When I pinned this room...I thought .."Oh that's it for sure!"

Another room that made me sure sea foam was the way to go.

So pretty with all the white.

via

So fresh with the brown furniture and walls.

But I've always loved this look.

And just last week I pinned this room and it made me change my mind about having blue walls.

This is the color of my living room now.

Ivory lily is the color....or pale pale butter yellow.

I have come to hate it.

This used to be my most favorite room in the world saved long, long ago from either Country Living 

or Country Home. But now...I would not like the yellow striped walls.

Because my art tile fireplace is sea foam green, 

I've thought having a similar yet lighter color on the 

walls would ground the space and make the fireplace more at home.

I did a quickie mock up in photoshop of how a light sea foam paint would look.

Here a little darker.

And here white. 

What is your opinion? 

I am ready to start painting. 

I already have the sea foam paint but it occurs to me that I should probably paint with 

primer first which would be white and that would tell me if I liked white in the room or not.

Tell me what you think.

Sea Foam or White?
