About a year ago, I made the poor decision to paint our entire upstairs Farrow and Ball Joa’s White. I liked it at first because I was craving change, but soon after I realized I had made a terrible mistake, and have lived with it since because…baby.
But a few weeks ago, Angelo asked “if you had a day to yourself, what would you do?” and I’m ashamed to admit that the first thing that came to my mind was painting a room. It’s cathartic for me. So now, I’ve decided I’m going to paint our upstairs…again. This time one of my all-time favorite creamy whites, Farrow and Ball White Tie, which I previously used in my old office (before I painted it green)…
and on my current office ceiling:
I started sharing some white rooms that inspired me on my IG stories, but realized I had so many more to share. I’m typically drawn to warm white paint vs. cool white paint, and I find that white walls really allow you to play with color and pattern throughout a space.
I adore Betsy Anderson Interiors use of white paint *and* green + white in her designs. The last three images are some of my favorite rooms from her portfolio
I feel like this paint color looks similar to Benjamin Moore White Dove. Everything about this room is so dreamy, it’s one of my favorite examples of how white walls allow the elements in the room to pop!
Very inspired to display my own Wedgwood collection just like this.
My friend Connor designed this room and it’s so dreamy!

Alisa,
Every single one of these inspirational “white” rooms made me weak in the knees while my heart skipped a beat! Your style and attention to color and detail is perfection and wish I had just a fraction of your talent to make my home as beautiful. I’m not sure why but I’ve missed your last few posts, but am having fun catching up now. Thank you for bringing me so much joy with your blog!
