I'm 90% done and it looks AMAZING! Its so relaxing and calm. I painted all the walls a bright white (even the wood floors). My friends and family weren't keen on the idea at first, but when they saw it, they all thought it looked great- even the men!<br /><br />Tips on keeping it from feeling cold/sterile and too girly- <br /><br />Use various shades of white & cream.<br /><br />Use lots of fabric (ie: long drapes, fabric chairs, etc)<br /><br />Don't use too many contemporary pieces of furniture or fixtures-especially when it comes to lighting.<br /><br />Stay away from ruffles, florals & lace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852953599138191864.post-81440215131749747392010-02-13T09:03:54.711-05:002010-02-13T09:03:54.711-05:00These are great ideas Lois, thank you!These are great ideas Lois, thank you!The Design Boardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01322322154585396949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852953599138191864.post-18199574733058540272010-02-12T22:55:30.165-05:002010-02-12T22:55:30.165-05:00You can create a spectacular room by using all whi...You can create a spectacular room by using all white, including walls, ceiling, furniture, just by using the various shades of white. When painting white walls, you should use a lighter shade of white on the ceiling to create a sense of height. All my walls and ceilings are white, but I use various colors in my drapes and furniture to create different moods in each room.Lois Fay Enterprises LLChttp://www.comfortercozy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852953599138191864.post-26003789599658523252010-02-12T15:06:25.540-05:002010-02-12T15:06:25.540-05:00So gorgeous!

I did have an all white sofa, luckily with a removable slip cover, but I was washing it all the time because of the dogs. Finally I switched to a gray cover. Both my husband and I agree that the gray cover actually warms up the room more with it's very high ceilings. I really like the white, but I try keep that too the walls. That way everything that is color, stands out more.Melissa Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06126713871312651098noreply@blogger.com
