The more I paint, the more I love it. But I still love the colonial colors too. It's just that I need simplicity and this makes everything …. so …. simple. I don't know how to describe the feeling when I see the change. Calming? Peaceful!!! This gorgeous basket was always lost in the display and now, without competition from clutter and dark paint, you can't miss its form and texture.
Walls will be a little lighter than this and although the photo doesn't show much contrast in the trim paint, there definitely is. Wainscot hasn't been decided, either 5" horizontal shiplap with a wide top rail and cap, or the same run vertically. Horizontal would be a much easier install so we may do that. No one to help. Mike won't be back to finish.
The sun is out, it's not raining, and it will actually be warm for a few days. Finally.
Have a great day!

White really makes beautiful objects pop. Love the look! My house is screaming for a new paint job. I'm having trouble zeroing in on the right color...sound familiar?
Have a great weekend.

p.s. My voice goes when I get over tired or over stressed. My family recognizes this symptom and knows I need a little peace and quiet. It's all a part of that auto-immune junk. Take care.
Marly, your corner with the basket/stool look great. I think it is simply elegant. Have a relaxing weekend!
Peaceful is the perfect word. I have color in my home but have had an urge to tone things down - and peaceful is a good thing to strive for. Your basket and stool look very at home in that corner. Take care of yourself, Marly, and have a good weekend.
Living this look..the white backdrop lets the folk art take the attention..my living a paint color was much easier than yours! Happy overcast but no rain weekend...
Looks like our one wall in our bedroom. Love it and that basket is the cats MEOW! Janice
Love your picture of color and basket.
Prayers for you and Carole !
Have a pleasant weekend.
Thinking of you.

Simply loverly 😊
I'm liking your color choices. As far as the wainscoting, I'd be putting up vertical. Simply because the current horizontal shiplap look is being done to death. And I can be sort of ornery that way :-)
I do love the peacefulness of this look, Marly! I have a white kitchen and have never tired of it after more than 20 years (although I would like to get a new countertop and backsplash!). You are so right in that the beauty of objects can really shine with a simple background!
