I personally love your cream and white look the best. To me, it is soooo soothing and soft!! I don't get it when people say white is too stark!(maybe if the room is too big?) I think it's perfect. The chippy shutters set it off....so pretty! Some people put Christmas trees in every room...maybe you can put a bicycle in every room!

I wanted this look for my craft room, but ended up throwing in mustard color. What's a color lover to do? I absolutely love the results! I will be featuring it at SYC.<br />hugs,<br />JannHave a Daily Cup of Mrs. Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15446091501170762899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3145927977814106970.post-21467617257555895362013-09-02T19:18:00.445-05:002013-09-02T19:18:00.445-05:00I am a huge fan of RED, but I certainly have to ag...I am a huge fan of RED, but I certainly have to agree with you...My choice is the all white room!

I added a little red and now I hate it. I wish I could find my happy middle like you. Everything you touch is gorgeous! Wish me luck I just bought a blue denim sofa and chair. I wanted the white denim but right now not a good idea.

I did like the little chest better in blue. Staggering the shutters beside the window was such a brilliant idea! The whole room looks refreshed and new! I hope that you found something else to add to it during your excursion today!

There are so many wonderful details you've added, I don't know where to begin:) First off, I am in love with the bike, it's such a fun and unexpected surprise! The angel is so sweet, we all could use a guardian angel! And the door is wonderful, too! You could always paint the knob. Hobby Lobby also has some amazing knobs, too! And I am drooling over that gorgeous ruffled bedspread! It is oh so romantic!
