milky white

Tom and I have spent the last couple of days painting our living room a milky shade of white (actually, I think it's just plain 'white'- nothing fancy). The white-washed look has really brightened up the room and everything looks shiny and clean and I must confess, I felt strongly tempted to start painting the wooden floor white, too (inspired by Soulemama and her new house) before realising I hadn't bought enough paint for that. The room was previously a shade of beige (not unlike the colour of pantyhose) so the paint job had been on our to-do list for a while. Hooray for summer holidays and teacher-partners who are home to help with d-i-y.
