Pros & Cons of Painting Your Brick House

I always see your projects with some shade of white walls throughout most of the house. And white curtains or tan colored rugs. What color curtains and rugs do you recommend for a whole house that is painted like agreeable gray? Does tan clash?
What is the rule for going white on white…white trim and white walls….are they both the same color?
We’ve done the same color in other projects, we just change the sheen! We like to do matte on the walls and satin on the trim. 🙂
What is the blue color in the craft room from the swan lake project? Sooo pretty!!
Thanks, what a great post!
