I'm ready for change......for more white?

 It snowed today and warmed up to 10 above and it was heaven....
 It may have even even been warmer,
 we went and chopped wood in the afternoon and it was pleasant
fresh powdery snow to tromp through.....
 our oldest had a horrible headache yesterday so he stayed home
so by mid day when he was up and around I had him help me move some furniture
around I'll show you soon....
 We have been thinking about painting the rest of our trim in the main part of the 
house for a while now and after realizing just how much lighter the rooms are
with white trim.....I've decided to go for it.....I can't wait to start!
 It's going to be a lot of work but so rewarding....
You can see looking into the kitchen just
 how much brighter the white trim makes the room.
You just can't believe how dark and depressing it is in the winter.....
I would like to start today but Phil finally needs my help in the shop
sanding.....

    The white trim def looks lighter and really fresh and pretty. You have a beautiful home love all your wooden floors. You have so much snow its hard to believe we only ever get a little bit. Its freezing here at the moment it really gets into the bones. Glad its warmed up for you a bit. dee x

    The white woodwork does make a difference. Although, I do like the first photo with the blue trim. What room is the blue in?

    White woodwork makes a huge difference - I have only managed 2 rooms so far, another 8 or 9 to go including bathrooms!
    Good Luck with yours!
    Glad it warmed up for you today - here it didnt get much above freezing all day!

    Although I love wood, I believe I too would have painted the trim. Absolutely love the first first pictures, beautiful colors, and what a lamp! Love it!

    Oh, now I'd like to bleach out our wood a little bit too.. Maybe not completely white, but a bit white-washed. But we're totally open plan, so I couldn't do it room by room, as you're doing. I think it's just something to dream about at the moment.

    your beautiful wood trim will look twice as amazing white. everything looks crisper and fresher with a nice white gloss trim. can we talk about your darling tole chandi in your lovely kitchen? hmm, very sweet.

    Beautiful colors in your home Heidi and I love the snow pictures, so white and pristine! I think your house will seem bigger with the all white, too, although the woodwork is beautiful. Diane

    The white trim will look amazing and lighten everything up.........I'm a devil for painting everything white, I think it just makes a lovely backdrop for all the colourful cushions and blankets I love so much. Beautiful snowy pictures. xx
