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!!!!!
