white



  today i'm craving the simplicity of white   






   
ideas for coastal white chic on a budget  

paint furniture flat white lightly sanded

mix up vintage and new and use what you have as long as it's white

cover sofas & armchairs with white slip covers

floaty muslin or white sheets made into simple curtains

to avoid a clinical look add contrasts of off white & texture with
   throw rugs  cushions  shells  
white cane  white boxes  white flowers  

add mirrors to make the space feel larger & reflect light  

  a touch of black to ground and define   

something timber for a natural element

simple white china & bedlinen



are you in the mood for white?
