Having finally finished painting the trim on my second floor white I'm inspired. It's such a fresh, clean look that I've decided to bring even more white into my home to brighten it up this winter. I'm not going to spend a lot of money, mainly because I don't have a lot of spare income at the moment, but because I don't think it's necessary. I believe a few bold but small decorating changes can keep your home looking new and exciting every season.
I'm going to switch to my duvet cover which is primarily white and has a few thin stripes of green, turquoise and tan in it. This will significantly boost the white quota in the room. I'm also going to switch out the throw pillows to a couple that are a bit lighter and I think I'll purchase a couple of white ones as well.
I have wanted to buy a couple of dressers from Ikea for a while but the purchase is going to have to wait, and my antique dressers will not be getting a coat of white, so that will remain the same, but I'm going to drape the tops of them with long white lace runners which will run down the sides, breaking up the brown and adding more white.
I'm going to keep the window swag I have which has a lot of white in it, but I will update the nasty blinds that came with the condo and purchase some nice white roman shades.
And finally, I'm going to buy (or maybe make) a nice warm, fluffy white throw rug to break up the solid wood of the floors. I can just imagine how beautiful it will all look this winter with beautiful big white flakes of snow falling outside.
