White in all it's glory

I got snowed in this weekend.  No where to go on Saturday, my car would not have made it.  The snow is almost up to the back step.  All this extra in the house time gave me a chance to soak up Country Living's White issue.  The title alone " The simple beauty of white" made my excitement rise.  January light here makes white so pleasing and ..... white.  I have always loved white, in all it's forms.

My favourite flower is always a white one.

A few years ago my mom and I purchased  roses and used all of our milk glass.  My first collection.  Milk glass is common yet perfect.  New versions of it never look as good as the vintage pieces.

Decorating with white is so easy and always ends up looking so good.

16 years ago I purchased a white couch.  I was considered nuts by everyone but it did not matter.  It worked with everything and it still does.  I had it slipcovered in 09 and it was worth every penny. 

White is always right.

"White is not a mere absence of color, it is a shining and affirmative thing:  as fierce as red, as definite as black"

G.K. Chesterton, English Philosopher
