I have been on a white mission lately

taking the warm colors out and adding in Whites and Creams all over

I painted my kitchen white and the cabnets white and now the living room

is yes white..well a cream white..lol...

I wanted to share a couple insperational rooms with you that I have found

looking around blog world...

These pictures have just sucked me in and made me want to try this

thing/color called WHITE...

It is soon drawing near to picture taking time so I can show you some

of my before and afters.

but for now let me just dream of these rooms and share them with you..

I saw this cute little kitchen over at Someday Crafts Blog

just a simple clean looking kitchen...Actually the blog was on beadboard and differnt things you can do with it...I LOVE BEADBOARD

and I love how they added it to the fridge front...Oh did I mention I got my new

white stove the other day for my kitchen....oh yes, yes...so excited...

so clean and calming...(I know, I know..pictures)  soon..soon I promise..

Ok so now unto the next lovely white room I love..
I found this bright little spot over at the
French Farmhouse 425

I would love to not have curtains on my windows...but I just can't do it..
The sun beams down on the front of my house ALL day from morning to evening...
I have to keep curtains and shades up to help keep that heat out in
those hot summer days..

 I saw this living room over at
Secret Garden Cottage

can I have the big window over top the fireplace...LOVE it

I also really love the white slipcovers but found that it would not be a great

idea to have in my home...so instead I bought a beige one for my couch and

a tan one for my chair...

Ok so these are a few rooms I found that were nice and bright...Do you love whites??

This is a big change for me because I am a woman who loves color...but I am

up for a change in 2011....Are you??

Do something differnt this year...
