Beyond the Standard White........

As a designer, I always try to think outside the box. Well, lately I've noticed a trend in painting interior doors a color other than the typical standard white. Okay, this is brilliant-and something I probably would never do if someone hadn't started this phenomenon. It has made me re-evaluate how I look at interiors and to see beyond the "standard"of keeping doors (and wood trim) the same color. I love the idea of involving every aspect of your room into the color scheme you've created. Would you change your standard white?

Get Inspired by White!

Okay, I love a white kitchen- I always get inspired by this fresh color. Although, some might say a white kitchen can be boring, I look at a white kitchen as a blank canvas-allowing me to dream big. White gives way for other materials to shine- a piece of art, a great fabric on the window (or chair), chic accessories.  A white kitchen always has a fresh appeal to it. You can take it in any direction and it works. For instance, it reads well in a modern kitchen and also works great in a traditional one. Either way, it always has a refreshing quality. I added some of my favorite inspirational (and, of course, very chic) white kitchens below-enjoy!
