Fresh coat of paint is always nice but why did you go with white?
Replies
I love white. It's a nice crisp blank canvas for a room - but especially because it's a darker room (windows at one end) and I'm hoping this will brighten the space. The yellow made everything in the room have a yellow cast - hard to see what were the true colors of the things I work with everyday (papers, patterns, etc).
Ali - the white will be just fab!! I noticed right away the saying on the newspaper next to the paint can says "for the new year". How appropriate and I bet you didn't even plan that!
I can't wait to see what you do with the room! I totally get the hue issue with yellow - and oh the fun you can have with white! Did you get your Varde for the re-model?
Hey ALi, I know I commented on the post earlier but I just wanted to come back and say thanks for the little red pen email. You put into words so much of what has been going around in my mind already this month. Even "twitterfacebookblogslivesphotoswords" and I have been subtracting a lot - or as my OLW says MOVE'ing things out. Awesome newsletter!!

Thank you so much!
Agreed! PS "move" worked very well for me in 2011 - enjoy!
Awesome! Always fun to do some redecorating after the holidays (well, it's always fun to redecorate). love the white~ fresh, clean, simple...Now that I think about it~I would like to apply some white paint to my 'life' about now! :)
It's a good color. My personal favorite white from BM is "Ballet White". We painted half our house that colour (coming from a designer and pro painter hubby/wife team). Have fun! I love white rooms!!
How exciting to be painting, love love white!! It will look so awesome in your room, hope you post when your all done. It's like a blank canvas now to play with.
Thank you so much for another great newsletter, love the red pen idea. Have a great weekend!
I want green walls with white everything else - but I've heard people in hell want ice water.... We no longer paint ourselves, we pay someone, someone I grew up with who has workers.... New subject: Just read Mapping Charlie by Jane Meyerdling (I think that's the correct spelling, definitely the correct title), mystery, protagonist is an autistic woman with face blindness who works at a University in the Pacific Northwest -- just like the author! It seems to me she nails some of the social anxiety of people on "the spectrum" as we say in our house. I do love a good mystery!

Love it! I never noticed that that the ceiling was yellow in your office tour from last February. What a fresh start for 2012.

I love the color white. I just bought a new coffee cup at Starbucks because it was so simple and white with a yellow inside! So happy feeling.
