When we purchased our first bungalow, I was thrilled to have the chance to paint the walls and put my personal style stamp on it. But I quickly discovered that my love for color would be thwarted refined by the natural woodwork. It seemed like the only colors that worked well with the woodwork was white or cream. It was a lonely time, in those pre-Pinterest days when all the woodwork in the magazines was painted white. I had to muddle through paint colors all alone.
Shades of white & cream have definitely earned a rightful place in the bungalow, and it doesn't make the house boring. These colors feel especially fresh if you add the color through furniture, plants, rugs or accessories.
