It's been a couple weeks (a month?) since we painted our family room white. It's hands down my favorite room in our home and I'm so so glad we did white! White is my favorite "color" right now.
Sooo you know when I stumbled upon this space by Brad Ford ID I was in love!
so... i'm curious. if you paint the walls white (which i also love) what color do you paint the trim? a glossier version of the same white? or if you're like us and have original stained (light oak, i think) wood crown molding and trim, do you leave it?
Bryn, I am amazed at your day to day transformations on your home, I look forward to seeing your posts and what a normal person budget can do to a home. The white is beautiful and I can't wait to see the living room when it is all done. (although i think the word done and designer are incompatible things)...keep up the good work
I love white walls too! But that's mostly because I loove color so much that our furnishings would just compete with any other color walls. (Like our lime green couch!)
Too bad we live in a rental and the white walls are such an ugly white. There are many times I've contemplated painting them a brighter white, but my husband would just think I'm absolutely bonkers then.
I have been contemplating doing white walls in a room... but I have the same question as mxq. Do you paint the trim the same white, just glossier or a different white? What color of white did you use?

Now that you are in NC, check of the pottery of Seagrove, NC if you can get away for a day. There is also a great festival in November each year.
ReplyDeleteBrad Ford makes neutrals so friggin sexy... I'm just in awe.
ReplyDeleteYou've definitely convinced me to paint a room white!
ReplyDeleteI love how lived in this space looks! Like you can just walk right in and immediately be comfortable!

What a beautiful home. I especially adore the dining table decoration, so fresh and natural =)
ReplyDeleteHey Bryn, which white did you use in your LR? I just went back and looked at your pics, it's very nice- not cold or blue toned.
ReplyDeleteI think it's an incredible home, cant wait to see you living room all put together, it will be gorgeous!!
