My sewing room is white, but who could tell; with cabinets, dressers, book cases, shelves and wall hangings covering most of the space. However, I do believe I'll break down and paint one wall every other week so I don't have to move everything at once. It is way too large, and I sure managed to fill it. But love it. When I say "I" will do the painting, I really mean my daughters, or a painter. I like the idea of a soft yellow, or teal. Maybe I will just have the ceiling painted. Thanks for the idea of color. Happy quilting.
