A white bit

White pelicans, one of my favorite pictures, because of the blue, white and yellow and a little bit of pink in it.  Therefore, it can be used anywhere.

 

Today, I am choosing the Swiss Coffee color.  I like that it has a little bit of taupe in it.  I am going to do my room around this painting.

Picture from "Better Homes and Gardens"

 

First the color, then the painting.  This is easy, as I already have my bedroom furniture.  I have off white carpeting, that was here when I bought the house.  So, I have now picked my paint color.  I will use white-white woodwork to sent off the walls.  This picture will hang above the bed.  Let me think of what I have already to fit into this room.  I love pink also, and I believe I have saved some pink flowers.  I really don't have any I like, so off shopping to find some.  Pink tulips are gorgeous if I can find some. 

 

I already have some lamps, but they need a touch of something, maybe a trim.  I think I will do that in blue, add that to my shopping list.

 

While I am out shopping, I am just going to look to see what appeals to me, only buying it if I love it.

 

I do think I will use an old white dust ruffle on my bed.  I save all those things, they are too expensive to replace.   Perhaps a matching color of trim on the bottom.  Good Idea!

 

I will go to Joanne Fabrics first to look at trims.  I have a coupon so I can save 40% on an item.

This is how I start a room.  I am getting back into whites again.  I used to say "It doesn't take much of an imagination to use white".  Today, the whites are so much richer, and I love them.!!!!!!
