Why Didn't Anyone Tell Me?

I'm wondering why no one told me the key to a great white space is texture? If you don't add texture to a white space it's sooo sterile...Dr.'s Office....Hospital....sterile! I had tried all white in the past and just couldn't figure it out....so back to color! But now....the student has figured it out through blogging....texture!! I wanted to share a few pics of texture......surely there are others out there....somewhere who didn't know!
I love these feathers....they're so soft, and sat in a corner for a while....long time.......until I figured out that just plopping them in a pitcher was enough....texture! Painted wood, and layered sheers.....texture.
Ceramic, and chippy wood.....texture.

Glass, fabric, beads, and metal......all texture that make a room work.


Whew, now that it took me 10 yrs to figure that one out what's lesson #2?
By the way, come back tomorrow and I'll give you the scoop on this awesome lamp!!!!!

Please join Kathleen for another inspiring White Wednesday!

  6. Hi Crystal! I love the feathers! You just reminded me that I have a few goldish ones in the garage I've been meaning to throw in some sort of container in my living room. I think I'm going to pull them out today!

    Love the chippy paint too, everything looks great.

    How lovely - we inspired each other today!

    Blessings,

  7. Now you are a master. Yes texture is very important from keeping a white room from being harsh and sterile. I think the hardest room is the kitchen with the stainless steel, polished counters and pure white walls. That is one room I am hesitating to do in white YET. Happy white wednesday.

  8. I love a white pallet, but for some reason the white wall still gets me. I have to have color on the walls, even if it is taupe (:
