White Bedrooms

<p align="justify">Nothing is more timeless, serene and restful than WHITE ON WHITE in a bedroom. I grew with a white bedroom and I can still remember the quality of light that came through my white curtains as the morning sun was rising. When I design an all white room I use several shades of white to bring out the architectural details, or I layer the space with strong forms in different tones and textures of white and then use some strong contrasts to outline and bring the white into focus. Every room no matter what colors are being used can benefit from a touch of black. Some of my favorite whites I use are are from <a href="http://www.benjaminmoore.com/">Benjamin Moore:</a> Cloud White, Simply White, Ballet White and Designer White. My all time favorite is Cloud White. I like it because it has a chameleon effect and it is a very soft. Not every white is snow white. Try using: ivory, cream, antique white, and palest beige, blue and yellow.</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj_GChpFvI6pg5_OvuVjqVHCsXoob84Gm9gF1o7P79f_BiSm7l-LhqNfiX-Wv3SdYo9P4QP2Dbif4KTMDwGTEYnP4_V9lMWH-GzTSPhhKHD-vPg3z8sreemnTkF90iTgQSzTinaiH-VmY/s1600-h/Thomas+Pheasant+040713de_067_b.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="461" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj_GChpFvI6pg5_OvuVjqVHCsXoob84Gm9gF1o7P79f_BiSm7l-LhqNfiX-Wv3SdYo9P4QP2Dbif4KTMDwGTEYnP4_V9lMWH-GzTSPhhKHD-vPg3z8sreemnTkF90iTgQSzTinaiH-VmY/s400/Thomas+Pheasant+040713de_067_b.jpg" width="550" /></a> </p> <p>I like the way that <a href="http://www.thomaspheasant.com/">Thomas Pheasant </a>has treated this bedroom architecturally. <br />The wrap around tufted low headboard creates a unified feeling to a room that has angled walls.</p> <p> <br /><img alt="" border="0" height="475" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh52hxivxJ1aPJX2aggoL8ZSk1gk1X6mscQHfoXSLmpb7WsnY8AFGpop231gP2cRcTpG-lVKxoIISkfrUaBHjU3uApphwUI_w_3XH5sp0aabjD1efu0IT5Awgn-9fdRCHeqTdhrYE8CQw8/s400/met+home5.jpg" width="550" /></p> <p><a href="http://www.vicentewolfassociates.com/index_.html">Vicente Wolf </a>is a master at juxtaposition. <br />His signature element in all of his rooms is a large over sized mirror, usually resting on the floor.</p> <p> <br /><img alt="" border="0" height="413" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6NxIEupa23ye2wK6maUEMJNaUUFnUOsAbVFpWzKCO2bS91yiqtTQtv8c5VlX8zyg3K6K8aKTtCtyH_JNckIjm8tiixVt5zhv0QYfoHkJt9a3hHsk8U9CJwYeheIXo1B-bKQYp_e8bKZY/s400/nancycorzine03.jpg" width="550" /></p> <p>This is <a href="http://www.nancycorzine.com/">Nancy Corzine's </a>very elegant bedroom.
