Shades of White

Last time I posted about my love for white furniture.  The danger of having too much of one color in one room is that you might think it would be too monochromatic and boring.  Not so, if you mix shades of that color, varying textures, and imperfections.  Take this desk area I have in a corner of my living room.  Everything is white, but it's not monochromatic at all because of all the variations.  The mirror is bright and shiny white.  The desk is a more muted white and is distressed.  The corbel and nameplate are very faded white - so much so they both look slightly gray - and are obviously very worn with peeling paint.  The chair matches the desk, but the khaki seat breaks up the color.  Add into the mix the vintage fan, and the fabulous look of all white is anything but boring!
