I'm in a white phase here at the moment - our little cottage is built of western red cedar and the inside is timber too. We have a lot of timber furniture after 20+ years of being together, so there are a lot of dark colours. Everything's melding into another and looking lost and dark.
So I headed off to the paint store the other week (after finding just the right shade of white in a magazine - and what a range of whites there are too!) and we've been painting up a storm ever since.
From photo frames to walls, nothing is safe.
And its made such a difference to the whole look and feel of the place. Its brighter, cleaner and lighter to live in. And being a small space, the white has made it feel bigger too.
Inspired by French country style the place is taking on a whole new life. Its wonderful and the comments from visitors has been great.
Colour directly influences our moods and lightening up the house has had a great influence on our day to day living here.
Here's to great whites and the power of paint!
