My First White Room

 

You all are going to think I’ve lost my mind.  And, that might be true, but I’m still sticking the “pregnancy-hormones-make-you-do-crazy-things” excuse. 

 

A week or so ago, I posted about painting our master bedroom this rich blue:

And, two days ago, I started painting it . . . . this color:

It’s Shoji White by Sherwin Williams.  I know, I know.  But, after living with the blue swatches on the wall for a week or so, I started to feel like it might be too much.  Considering how much more chaotic our lives are getting ready to be in another few months, I kept finding myself drawn back to images of calming, neutral rooms.

This will be the first time I’ve ever had a white room in any of our houses.  What does that say about me?  I’m getting older?  More nervous?   Less brave?  I don’t know.  White actually seems like more of a risk to me.  The paint job should be finished by the weekend.  So far, I love it.
