Blanc is the new Black, or my Favorite Color is White



For the past 15 years, I have collected white objects, like vases, bowls, and other household oddities. Vintage lamps, too.
This Moon Glow Table Lamp - BBL3006 from Circa Lighting is a contender for bedside lamps.


 MOON GLOW TABLE LAMP  My white  vase collection sits in  glass doored  dark wood cabinets, so they stand out. Can you tell I have a photography background? It's all about the composition.
I prefer artwork framed in white. I would have all white walls but my family complains they want color, so the walls are (light) gray.  I remember when I had my first apartment, it was hard to find simple white plates, I was on a mission for these for months.
For our wedding we registered for mainly white serving dishes, along with a few special crystal glasses. My husband says he doesn't remember what we registered for, it was all a blur to him, he didn't really know what he wanted or what we needed. His policy at all weddings is a gift of cash (such a practical guy). So years later, when we are entertaining and he notices the serving plates are all coordinated,  and the vase yet to be filled with flowers is the perfect blank slate for whatever flowers we chose, I smile and tell him, yes, I planned this.
