When I painted a sample spot next to the white trim, I could see the difference. I'm staying with the white trim. My goal is to get it done this week, with the help of my eldest daughter, and my husband for moving the furniture.

Thoughts about your color choice . . . I think I crave lighter and brighter the older I get, so the idea of painting your space white appeals to me too. Even though your trim and cabinets are white, you could always go just a shade lighter or darker; there are SO many shades of white. (I am thinking of Nora Murphy's house after she did her "Project Refresh" several years ago. All the walls and all the trim are white and it makes a nice bright palette for her antiques and pops of color during the changes of season.) I am actually thinking about painting my kitchen cabinets/trim white the next time we paint. That will be a while, because we are already on our <i>third</i> color in the kitchen and I promised Ron I would stop. Poor guy! But the next time . . . <br /><br />All that said, I am sure that whatever you choose, it will be lovely! You have an eye for color and you might not be happy with all white. Plus, you have that fabulous new door that lets in all that wonderful light! <br /><br />See what happens when I start talking about house-y things!!
