Decorating with white may seem a little daunting

but it doesn’t have to be so…

All the shades of white give a richness to the color

which can be paired with any other hue on the color wheel

but whites by themselves have an ethereal quality

unto themselves.

The romance of white is that the hue can be made

even more beautiful with the addition of textures.

Pattern also plays a big part in the decorating of any room.

Texture and pattern together becomes the perfect marriage and

what brings richness in an all-white decor.

A post written about painting these metal trays white.

Angel wings made at Christmas time and our former garden in California.

The trio of white, texture and pattern play off each other

magically ~ like Cinderella going to the ball and

finding her prince.

Swept up in the dance, the three balance each other in

a perfect harmony that the interior designer famous

for her all-white drawing room

Syrie Maugham

would find mellifluous.

A visit to the showroom Eloquence at High Point Market in the fall of 2017.

Keep layering whites in various shades and remembering to stay either mostly all cool {blue undertone}

or all warm undertones {yellow undertone} ~ sometimes

it’s hard to mix the two together.

A final thing to consider.

🙂

White whether it be in a furniture slipcover

or…

French Ethereal’s beginnings ~ making slipcovers for this three-seater sofa and the settee next to it.
