White Kids' Rooms: Would You Dare?

Good morning to you cherished reader.
These two kids' bedrooms are not exactly all white as there are splashes of apple green and vibrant pink here and there, and the wall to wall carpeting is light grey. The rooms are separated by a sliding door left open during the day for lots of playing room. They look quite cheerful and bright.
Do you think a white room for kids is a good idea?

Cottage on Grayton Beach in Florida

Good beautiful rainy morning! The inspiration for this family beach house came from the film Something’s Gotta Give. I showed you the house made for this film starring Diane Keaton some time ago in this post.


One of a collection of Henry Barnes paintings, the architectural painting of Greece that crowns the living room fireplace adds a dash of Mediterranean flair. The pale blue and white striped rugs in the living room and dining room are very similar to the one in the film.





Wistful blue-painted cupboards



Bunk room with bold stripes, informal fabrics, and cotton rugs. The sofa was a flea-market find.


A candle lantern in the bunk room... I would never, ever, light these candles. Not by the curtains and beds and especially not in the kids' room.


A giant shell to store soap.





A painting by Heather Barron enlivens this reading nook.
