I had to say goodbye to an old friend.

My car.

It died.

So I bought a new car.

While discussing colour options with the car salesman he made the comment that you were not getting your money’s worth when choosing ‘white’ because “you weren’t getting any colour”.

Interesting statement.

Is white valueless?

Hmmm????

It’s been a long time since I wrote last (many apologies) and much has happened.

During that long sabbatical I renovated my kitchen.

Actually making the decision to renovate took a very long time because I wasn’t sure I could live with a white kitchen.

I knew white was the right colour (experts say it adds $$$ to the sale of a home) but I was trying to envision myself in a white kitchen.

Finally….I envisioned.

I embraced.

I decided that I wanted as much white in my kitchen as possible.

And so I chose,

White cabinetry,

White (Floratta) granite,  

White paint,   

White trim,   

White pendants,   

White sconces,   

White table,   

White crockery,    

White linens,    

Even the flowers outside my kitchen window in full bloom are white.  

Needless to say I jumped in with both feet – in white!  

I love my new white kitchen and by the way, I did not buy a white car!
