Who knew there were so many shades of white?!  Ballet White, Decorator White, Dove White, Diamond White.  So many choices!  It has become a very important choice, because the Kitchen Cabinets and most of the trim throughout the dream house will be  . . . white.

I did the obligatory painting of panels to take throughout the house, looked at them at different times during the day, and it was amazing how they took on a different look in each room.  Some would take on a harsh, bluish tint, while others turned more ‘creamy’, definitely not what I was looking for in my white kitchen.

In the end, I chose the color that will work with both warm and cool colors.  And the winner is . . .
