Me and the Mrs. are getting ready to do some painting and I'll be
heading off to the local Sears to request several gallons of good ol
BO34 (Winter White). Nothin at all wrong with white as far as we're
concerned. The Sears paint is just our preference.
We have branched out a little bit and done some other colors in our
new home, but the last house was all done in white.
It all comes down to... what do you want in your house. Which
translates (mostly) to if it makes the Mrs. happy life is happy... ;-)
Most of the TV shows go overboard with their style and color mixes to
keep it interesting. Not that many folks would watch every week if
the designer walked into the house and said "I SEE ---- WHITE".. :-)
Just my two little pennies worth... Good luck!
