Sounds nice.

We went all semi gloss white and I love it!

With white walls and cieling the room is briter and appears larger,
easier to paint too:)

The BIG thing to remember with a all white room the room takes on the
color or tone of the furnishings

big blue sofa makes white appear soft blue. Its very servicable and can
be wonderful.

all whites very common in florida.

I never want colored walls again, its really that nice and we painted
about 10 years ago.

its really not a operating room look at all!

I tried semi in a bathroonm and I ened up toning it down to a satin.
Looked like an Exxon station.
