Hello,
It would be really great if everyone here could just post one or a few pictures showing the current state of their house.
I'll start right away.
For renovations, it’s best to provide a comparison of before and after the remodeling.

I would be way too messy and lazy for anything all white The stain tolerance of grey is overrated – wall-to-wall carpet is deliberately patterned for good reasons. Real messy people need camouflage.

I also prefer a more subtle and understated style; accents are better made with accessories and decor. This is more flexible and timeless. That’s why our walls will mostly be white, combined with wood and natural tones.
Color comes from the ceilings, cushions, flowers, pictures, etc.
For us, things will finally be moving forward again from April 1st.
In the meantime, I underwent surgery (nasal polyp operation) and we painted the wooden ceiling:
A light shade of white (yes, white again!) with UV protection.
Here you can still see the difference compared to the beam that hasn’t been whitewashed yet:
The whiteness effect depends heavily on the lighting: the more light (sun), the whiter it appears.
It was a really tough job – I hate painting overhead!
So, the next batch of work is now waiting for us here: the panels for the upper floor – we can still paint these comfortably on the sawhorses before installing them. Thank goodness! I definitely wouldn’t have wanted to paint standing on scaffolding up in the roof slope all the way to the ridge beam!

When painting, it’s no longer about bright, bold colors like in the past, but rather very subtle shades. There are some really beautiful tones available from brands like Alpina and others. The human eye doesn’t always find pure white to be pleasant. I would encourage everyone to get some professional advice; I used to think everything had to be white as well.
