Color of the Month - White - May

White to me says clean and fresh and new. May feels kind of like that. It's not yet summer, but the promise of the gentle summer months are ahead...like an artists canvas ready to be painted on. A white picket fence feels like summer to me. Everyone is out readying their gardens, exchanging stories and feeling that sense of aniticipation...especially here in Oregon! Yes, I know it's still raining, but the days are warmer and longer and occasionally we get a really fantastic day!

The color white in decor feels like that as well. If we have white on our walls, it means that whatever is sitting on those walls has the ultimate importance. If you have a beautiful and valuable art piece, you can certainly put it on a painted wall, but to display it on a plain, white background can make it doubly important.

White slipcovers over your sofas can summerize and freshen up your home. The soft whites of a shabby chic room are so comfortable and white paired with any cool pastel colors feels fresh and clean.

WHITE - Neat, self-sufficient, yearn for simplicity. You love your home, a cautious buyer and a shrewd trader .
