White is growing on me.
I can't believe I am at this place. I love color, I adore it. I can't get enough of it. But, these bright, white walls are growing on me.
I'm crazy.
I have always loved bright rooms; the more windows, the more light, the happier I am. I can't stand dark. Give me light! And I know, I can achieve a bright room with any number of paint colors. But, since deciding to not paint I have become peaceful with my white walls.
The brown curtains I just returned to Target were lovely. But, they made my livingroom so dark. I tried to love them, I really did. But, there was no gauzy, beautiful curtains fluttering in the breezes...
No beautiful sunshine shining through.
No sweet baby girl playing in the early morning dashes of sunshine.
I have white walls. And I like them. Someday I will have my own house; a house I can color up the wahzoo, and I will love that too. But, for now, I will be peaceful in my glowing home. And if I really need a douse of color I will go visit my friend April, who lives just down the curvy sidewalk. She has a beautiful, painted home.

We havent painted any rooms in our house and we've been here for almost two years. Now we have some tentative verbal orders and you know what? I dont regret not painting a single room. Flyboy does and is still talking about painting rooms despite possibly moving but I love the fresh clean glowing look of the sun the shadows it makes on my walls.

Those curtins with that wonderful window is right up my ally :) I'm completely shocked about you having no colorful cutins but I think it's absolutely beautiful!
We only use the white sheer curtains, also! I love the way they cover your windows just enough but they allow the light to come in and make my house bright and happy.
These are such great pictures!! Truly, lovely. As are those sheers. I am a big fan of those as well.
I LOVE color too... but white can be so beautiful and peaceful. We have all white curtains in our bedroom and the flow in the breeze like that... I LOVE it!

You've captured the curtains so beautifully!!!
I also live in a rental, and I'm unable to paint. I've found that having white walls DOES make the place feel a bit bigger, though...
:)
Ahh...beautiful pictures! They made me feel so peaceful & I'm not even really there!
I can live with a wide variety of styles. When I read decorating magazines, I fall in love with all sorts of rooms. I could be happy in all of them. White walls can have a wonderfully peaceful feeling to them.
For what it's worth I love your white walls...they seem so calming, peaceful and cheery
What wonderful pictures!! I love lacy, gauzy curtains that blow in the breeze, too...and I love open windows. Soon I will have both in my home office..... :)
I love to have change. And I know paint is cheap and quick...so why have my walls been the same color for going on...OH MY WORD!! 14 years?!!! Oh, htat is painful to type and realize! I am having a major talk with Lover~Boy. Paint is in our future. Lots.
Thanks for the inspiration. You didn't even mean to, I know.
i have the same ones, so, you're right! you're totally right. they ARE awesome sheers!...

You've inspired me! I was heading to Target to get new family room/living room curtains, but I think I'm going to pick up white sheers for our bedroom while I'm there. I've been wanting to for awhile, but I hadn't gotten around to bothering. My husband used to work nights, so we had heavy black ones so he could sleep during the day, but now that he's out the door at 7:30 every morning it's time for change!
Andrea, the first thing I did when my husband bought our house was paint the entire thing white. It was so dark and drab and cavelike inside, and the white gave it new life again. I love the way the light plays on white walls. I can chart the passing of the seasons and the time of day just by watching the sun move across my walls. So I'm glad you're enjoying it.
