When we moved into our house it was almost all white because the elderly p.o.s probably paid someone to whitewash it to sell. They painted over bad sheetrock and wallpaper. It looked ok at first glance, but one of the best parts of doing the reno was to finally have some color. If a house is white for a scheme, it comes off better than if it is white because it is easier to paint the walls and trim the same color. You can tell the difference. I think if you want a light neutral and don't want the creams and beiges that have been very popular, I'd try a pale yellow. It looks great with wood floors and antiques and mixes well with a full range of decors. We painted an apartment in our first house and even though we had male tenants over the years, they all commented on loving it. It works best if the trim is a pure white to have some contrast. It gives you color without hitting anyone over the head if you go very light toned. I have used it when recommending to builders and flippers what to paint for the main rooms because it is cheery and subtle. Blues come in and out of fashion and beige and cafe au lait have been big for a while, so will be on the way out soon. Greens can be hard to coordinate if you want flexibility (although I love a nice green). Pink and peach take real commitment, and a thick skin if used outside of a child's room, and a pale lavender is also one that can limit the materials used with it (no maroon or reds work well with it, IMHO). White can actually be harder to match because of the many tones to white. When I used a pale yellow in my house, I made sure that nothing of any significance in the room was yellow, so there'd be no clashing. It worked as a back drop for the stronger colors of the antique furniture or white wts. It is the prettiest color to put alongside oak floors, to me.

I went and it was fantastic! They had a wide variety of perennials, shrubs & trees as well as good finds for collectors of plants like daylilies. Prices were pretty good too. Worth making it an annual trip!

Hi @kanupriyakhare We actually sold the house at the end of last year. But I used the kitchen/stone for five years. No food staining whatsoever, and it was indestructible. No chips or cracks anywhere. I used a sealant. Once in a while around the sink there was some temporary water staining but it would go away. Good luck

Hah! I have tried to have a white room for many years and always get sick of it. Because of the high ceilings and beams this space is very hard to paint so we just stick with what was there when we bought it. I love grey and have BM Smoke Embers in my living room in my other house but that room gets a ton of light and the grey looks very elegant. This space is a lot more rustic and I think a grey might be gloomy unless it was the perfect shade. We painted two rooms in yellows...the laundry and one of the bedrooms..in this same house and they really came to life. I might need something warm.
