Going Lighter and Brighter

First off lets have a big CONGRATS to:

~~ It's Sew You ~~

A big thank you to everyone that entered...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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...
