White is the new greige? I don't know

So I am not very good at design but I do LOOOVVE when I see design that is refreshing.  (I still need to read "The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up" but anyways).  That being said, I'm loving how in-style white walls are!  Maybe it's because I grew up with white walls or the fact that it is so airy and relaxing.  So when I went on a hunt for white walls, I figured I couldn't go wrong with Restoration Hardware paint, right?  I have gone horribly wrong in the past with grey.  Oh, brother.  

So here are the whites I chose from.
From top to bottom:
-Cloud White
-The Right White
-Buttermilk
-Sand Dollar

With overhead light...

With natural light...

I ended up choosing the bottom color, Sand Dollar by Restoration Hardware.  The paint wasn't cheap but I figured I'd be starring at it every day.  

And, here is the finished product!  Ultimately, I'm pretty happy with it.  It gives a nice grey undertone in the shadows.  My husband was used to our pretty rich colors so he feels like it's a little sterile but he has grown to love it.  

Ok, so I just bought "The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up" so I can listen in the car.  I'll keep you posted on what I think and what progress I make!

Also, they did end up re-grouting Kenzie's bathroom because the beige grout failed.  Here you can see the difference between light grout and dark grout with white hexagon tile.  

  

Da tile or Daltile

We are making progress!!  

For Kenzie's bathroom, I chose Matte 2" Daltile Hexagon in Arctic white.  I also chose gold glitter grout but the installers used some off white-ish grout.  😳  When I told her mid-grout that I chose different grout, she said "oh, no, no, no, noooo" and she just kept going.  Hmm.  Oh, well.  I guess I like this too.  But boy do I love that glittery gold.  

How appropriate are these 3 year old little feet on white hexagon tile. Swoon. 

For our master shower, I chose semigloss 3x6 Daltile Subway Tiles with gold glitter group.  Love the gold, glitter grout!  I'll have to take a picture where you can see the glitter.
