White walls: stressful or energizing?

March 18, 2014

Tan from Squirrelly Minds is taking over the blog today while I’m on a brief maternity break!

There’s something about Scandinavian design that sets my heart a flutter with its crisp lines and bright white walls. Sadly, this style will not be a part of my home.

While I feel white walls simultaneously calms and brightens a space, my husband feels stressed out and as if he’s in an institution. Others feel the same way, believing white walls to be clinical, basic, and void of emotion. I disagree.

Sure, an all over white space might feel a bit clinical, but when paired with warm wood tones and bright colors, it can be energizing. White is the perfect backdrop for making furniture, art and accents stand out, and just always feels oh so Scandanavian, which is a good thing in my books.

What’s your take? Do white walls scare or energize you?

    Having this exact conversation with my hubby at present. I’m all ‘white on white on white’ and he’s, ‘what, like in a hospital?’ Ha ha. I am hoping I win 🙂

Day 12 | No photos from today (well none worth sharing) because I sat in front of my laptop from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. working on deadline. My busy work day also meant that my kids didnt get very much of my attention. My husband kept them occupied for some of the day but I dont think they got any schoolwork done. Oh well we all deserve a lazy day every once in a while. I know I do! | So whats this photo? Just some of the amazing birthday presents I received from my friends this weekend! (Dont worrDay 11 | Emotions have been running high the past two days and everyone has a short fuse. Asa had a full-on temper tantrum because he didnt want to color his drawing of a rainbow and nearly lost his cool while practicing Typing Club. I wish I could do more educational activities with them like taking alphabet walks and tallying up different items around the house but Im totally overwhelmed with a huge deadline this week. In fact I had to keep working after the kids went to bed and now its nearlyC-Quarantine Day 8 | Ive felt anxious many days this past week but today was the first day I had the blues. Not sad about anything specific. Just ... sad. Cabin fever? Exhaustion? We decided to get out of the house to look at the cherry blossoms in Bethesda. The Kenwood neighborhood was quiet so we parked and walked down a side street keeping our distance from the few other people out and about. But with cars parked on one side of the road and moving cars to trying to pass them & the pedestriansOn the first day of #socialdistancing my true love made for me Nutella-filled croissantsyummy!  On the second day of social distancing my true love made for me banana muffins with a crumb topping.  On the third day... Nope. Tomorrow we work from home/homeschool our kids so its cereal for everyone!  #onedaycv #covidquarantine
