White Rooms, White Floors

In a few short weeks I will be moving into a beautiful Victorian house with my boyfriend and several friends. The house is old with amazing detail in Boston and I am excited to will have free reign over my bedroom and my office/dressing room space. My boyfriend was recently diagnosed with allergies to dust-mites and his doctor told him that it would be absolutely critical to keep his bedroom clutter-free. That suits me perfectly as I like the idea of having the bedroom be for nothing but bed-related activities, and now that I finally have my own dressing room/office space, I can put all of my personal items there, and reserve the bedroom exclusively for a bed, two night tables and maybe a chair.

Of a piece with this minimalist idea is the color white. I have always loved the serenity and the cleanliness of the color and lately have been falling in love with the idea of painting our bedroom floors and walls white and getting color only from our bedsepread (which I am hoping to buy in graphite gray) and a few pieces of art on the walls.

The color inspires fastidious cleanliness and will make it very easy to see any dust!

I am so inspired by the images I see on Apartment Therapy and on This Is Glamour, and think I'm going to go for this look in the new place.
Maybe I'll even add a chandelier if i can find one that isn't too fussy!
