Why Does a White Interior Make You Feel FREE? Let Me Count the Ways...


I've been thinking lately of the color White...and how it calms so many people ...when I decided to start painting almost everything white in my house...it took alot for my husband to agree but he loves it now..when I started my blog 
it was mainly because of a Blog Called A BEACH COTTAGE...and then as Maria from Dreamy Whites  also said ...I didn't even know what a blog was.. or realize how much was out there and how many people are into the color White...what is it about an all white interior??...  Let's just count the ways...that these beautiful bloggers inspire us all...


White is a breath of fresh air like... Gua from  Hvitur Lakkris

















how gracious  of Bianca at White Living below 
allowed me to use her beautiful photos...



Bianca from  White Living graciously 
allowed me to post her beautiful photos...

 






....and who hasn't been to this blog yet?   Tracy from French Larkspur








Me and Alice' s blog 














and then there's my little place...that I cherish...










i can only hope that I can aspire to their level...
have a sunny day 
xoxo suzanne.
