STREISAND WHITE
Kathy Griffin does an absolutely hilarious bit about Barbra Streisand and how everything she owns is Donna Karan and white. Apparently she went so far as to have a microphone at the Oprah Winfrey show painted white without asking permission from the great and powerful O. Thus, whenever I see an all-white room, I think of Barbra. I'm not sure what to make of that, but after amassing these examples, I am envious of those who can keep things so light.
It takes a lot of discipline to keep to an almost all-white palette. A tiny bit of color in such a room packs a huge punch. To keep the room from resembling a padded cell, interest is added via a variety of textures. Again, in such a stark palette, different surfaces and materials stand out. I don't think I'd ever have the discipline to stick with all-white, as I coffee, soda, or red wine about once a week. However, if you can do it, more power to you. You're ready to have Barbra over for an all-white meal or some milk or something.

Here white keeps a cottage kitchen feeling modern, and discipline with the palette of the plates and glasses keeps open shelving from looking cluttered.
