Let the arguments begin

I have always had a thing for white ( a vivid childhood memory is jumping up and
down on my bed crying as a little girl because my mother was trying to put navy blue
socks on me which was mandatory with our school uniforms and I wanted WHITE )
I only use white towels - I only use white bedding - sheets, blankets, comforters -
My table settings are always white - I have a thing for white t shirts white blouses, etc
BUT I have never painted a wall white in my life.
And after posting the pics of the house for sell down the street from me - not to mention
all the magazines that I subscribe to - I have decided to paint the house white.
This has become the new argument du jour in this house,

I'm painting the house white John
No, you're not
Yes John actually I am
No, Suzan you are not painting the bloody house white
I will show you pics and then you will agree
I WILL NOT AGREE SUZAN, YOU JUST PAINTED IT GRAY FOR GODS SAKES
It almost been 2 years John, it's time to paint ( really it's only been 15 months - but that's like
2 years with my disorder)
You are not painting the house white Suzan, period - ( he gets up and leaves the room )
You'll love it John, I swear to God, ( me running after him - right behind his back )
NO
yes
NO
yes
No
oh yes honey - I most certainly am - next time  you travel then I suppose -
Stop Suzan - enough is enough -

When are you going on a sales trip???????

Those that know me - undoubtedly know that the house will be painted white.
Those that know John - undoubtedly know that he will love it.

and then my newest friend Stacy ( from Conspicuous Design on my sidebar ) posted
50 pics on Black and White rooms - the most inspirational blog for me - and the deal
was cemented - for me at least. The below is one of the photos she posted

I am more determined than ever.

Off to Nella's this morning - will post pics of progress tonight - it's starting to come together.

Have a good day all

( btw - his boxers are very colorful - those he can keep if he must )

Not finished yet, but...................

So the walls are finished - the fireplace is finished - the radiators have been painted - all the trim and moldings are finished - windows have had one coat - coffee table has been painted - and I cleaned up before I left so that she could use the room on the weekend.  The lighting is not very good and the walls look much lighter than they actually are - will try to get a true color photo next week.

Still have to paint the t.v. stand ( I think the only thing not being painted is the couch, lol, literally, the garden stool in front of the fireplace will be painted as well )
We are trying to schedule our weekend so we could source out lamps - carpet - accessories - etc.
She wanted a beach/cottage look -
I am thinking Roman Blinds - with maybe some trim detail would be best because of the radiators but all options are still on the table with that one.
