There must be something about spring time and white for me. I love the clean fresh look of white. Especially, when you infuse a jolt of color here and there. A while back Gwyneth Paltrow’s house was featured in House & Garden. There are some yummy examples of white working well. {images via House & Garden and Hooked On Houses} I just love the dark stenciled wall walls in the bathroom with the white furniture and accessories. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. And here is another example of using white well in a room. Megan from Honey We’re Home chose a beautiful yellow for the walls, but went with white furniture and rug to keep it all fresh. Beautiful room. What about you? Do you like to freshen things up with white in your house for spring? I think I might be adding some more white in our master bedroom. Hmmmm. h a p p y w e e k e n d !

Michelle @Shellsshabbyshack says
Oooo yes, white in every room…please 🙂 It makes a room feel fresh and allows the other colors to pop. I love the last image of the yellow walls and the white desk. Beautiful space!

One of each, please. I think I'd like to sink my toes into that fuzzy rug…but in my house, I'd find cookie crumbs. Guaranteed.
White is a magic color when done right. 🙂

I'm totally loving white. I thought it was a spring thing last year for me, but it lasted all winter, and I'm still craving more white in my home. Time to get out the old paint roller again!

White is the ultimate "fresh" spring look! So appropriate too, since we can now officially {more or less} wear it!

That's funny that you talk about making things fresh with white. I've been doing that very thing this week… with spray paint of course. It's amazing how that works. 🙂
