So, I settle for gloss white trim instead of wood anytime I can get it, including a massive white fireplace. But floors need to be wood; I don't think I could ever do white floors.Rufus Dogghttp://www.dogwalkblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5588228380282275730.post-72971044301802908732011-05-24T14:07:53.374-05:002011-05-24T14:07:53.374-05:00James- I think you hit precisely on why so many wh...James- I think you hit precisely on why so many white kitchens are negatively viewed... BAD LIGHTING! <br /><br />Bob- I'm sorry to disagree with you, but to me a white base allows you to use EVERY color available. I'm a creature of change... white base and you can have accent reds for Valentine's Day, pastels for spring, greens for St. Patrick's and summer, red/white/blue for Independence Day, warm earth tones in fall and TENNESSEE orange for football season. ;-) <br /><br />White is the most flexible in my opinion. Just because one does white doesn't mean it's going to look sterile... or held hostage.<br /><br />Raina- Again, there's the lighting. Look forward to pictures, dear!Nick Loveladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08559118263073230914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5588228380282275730.post-5051779967656895452011-05-24T12:04:39.912-05:002011-05-24T12:04:39.912-05:00I'm in the middle of painting most of the publ...I'm in the middle of painting most of the public areas of my house Benjamin Moore's "Navajo White." <br /><br />I've never seen one color morph so much in different light - cream, gray, green...Raina Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01095323923070587294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5588228380282275730.post-56717046995786686322011-05-24T10:25:28.224-05:002011-05-24T10:25:28.224-05:00White is so hard to pull off.

You become a hostage to the palette (or lack thereof) and just the very thought of such built in inflexibility makes my skin itch.Bob @ Life of an Architecthttp://www.lifeofanarchitect.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5588228380282275730.post-4700824688214811762011-05-24T09:45:43.657-05:002011-05-24T09:45:43.657-05:00Hehe, our back yard isn't fenced. :*(
