Color Crush: White Out

{A Classic White House by Andrew Skurman}

As much as I adore color, I find contrast to be of equal if not greater importance in both design and fashion. Lately, I have been all about paring things down, doing away with the fuss, and keeping things as classic and chic as possible. What better way is there to achieve this than with the purest of hues, especially with summer just around the corner. My current color crush is white! I am all about a total white out in interiors and fashion. While I don't think I would ever want to design a home completely void of color, there are ways to make the look completely warm and inviting as opposed to cold and sterile.
