I like brown wood furniture and soft tans, browns, creams, etc. in fabrics for around the house. Our master bedroom is a soft mocha color and the woodwork - trim around doors & windows - is a fresh cream color. It's soothing. What an interesting idea to arrange your clothes in color groups! I'm going to have to give that a try to see how it turns out.

It has a glass top with holes so that you can arrange short posy-like flowers in it.<br /><br />I am drawn to the lovely whites in your wardrobe. Such feminine pieces. My own wardrobe hosts mostly blue/sea green/aqua/turquoise which I love to wear.<br /><br />I could totally live with either of your valance fabrics and colours.<br /><br /><br /><br /> Brenda @ Its A Beautiful Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02955486477303938670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-44254892431688153452014-07-27T21:46:50.217-04:002014-07-27T21:46:50.217-04:00Your bed looks lovely!

( although technically white is not a color but the inclusion of ALL color ) I love color, and am often impressed with what some people do within their homes using brilliant colors, but when I go home , a soft palette, an almost all white palette helps calm me and allows me to think , be at peace, etc. Not saying one cannot think and be at peace with color, because often that inspires me in such a way I am all a-tingle with creativity, but more often, I need to be ale to be at peace at home. At ret, a rest that gives me the energy to go after all that creativity inspired by color ! <br /><br />I love what you've done with your places of refuge and tranquility at home.KathyB.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13076933273610590290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-91683050595385421392014-07-27T18:46:43.157-04:002014-07-27T18:46:43.157-04:00my color palette is "clean"; what with a...my color palette is "clean"; what with all I have to do, clean is an amazing accomplishment.

The bed in the master bedroom has been white for quite awhile now and I like it. <br /><br />Kitchen is blue and yellow. <br /><br />Living room pinks and off white with one burgundy/cranberry sofa and one off white one.<br /><br />Clothes are colorful. While I love white, I'm big and when I wear white, I feel bigger.

For me it's always white bedlinen-I can't bear duvet covers in colour! I like colour in other areas as accents but neutral themes are always the most relaxing-white shabby chic French style furniture is gorgeous! I adore your Grandmother's 70s placemats!

You'd never know it from my colorful blog, but our coastal home is completely decorated in neutrals, with the exception of my "imaginatory" which you've seen has some punches of sunny yellow. When we moved to our transitional house in 2012, I got rid of all our furniture and started fresh. We've been acquiring special pieces for our dream cottage. I don't want all white furniture because I love the warmth of maple and wicker, and I do not like painting over fine wood, but as far as the walls, the linens, dinnerware, etc., all is white. I love gray too. We want to save color for the view outside our windows, the flowers in our vases, and the paintings on our walls. <br />I have a maple hutch (who goes by Miss Maple) that is filled with white ironstone and china. Show us when you redo your hutch. <br />xoxo'sAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-6904854392396743072014-07-26T09:23:14.585-04:002014-07-26T09:23:14.585-04:00Hi Deborah, You will love shades of white.

My kitchen cabinets are white (they were here when we moved in). They are my only issue. They show everything and I'm always wiping them down. At least I know they're clean!Deborah Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04366855994841922862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-55467056759054758722014-07-26T07:09:16.284-04:002014-07-26T07:09:16.284-04:00Dearest Deborah,

Never had any wall paper for that reason, except in our bathroom a very soft pinkish kind of Cacharel flower.<br />For a bedroom I always kept the ceiling and wall soft and relaxing and no dark and loud down duvet covers. It has to be relaxing and I cannot imagine being in a room with a headache and surrounded by such loud and wild colors...<br />But we surround ourselves with what we love in general and a home has to reflect who you are!<br />Enjoy your weekend and your newly done floor.<br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-16810051698032686502014-07-26T01:12:13.989-04:002014-07-26T01:12:13.989-04:00The white looks really really nice.
