White House Design

A cloaked figure explains the rules of Castle Oblivion.

I went to see my former boss last night, together with my BF, first at her house in South West London and then we all went to the pub. Some former colleagues also came along.

I was greatly inspired by the way she had designed her house (they only bought it last year and I think they had to rip everything out). It was almost all decorated in white colours (predominantly white, with a bit of light grey thrown in).

Think the white castle in Kingdom Hearts - Chain of Memories (Castle of Oblivion), or Rachel White’s House. A bohemian version of New England - style, maybe. It’s difficult to describe, but it was very successful. It felt quiet and peaceful - easy for the mind to breathe and expand due to not being interfered with.

It’s definitely something I want to model my own flat on. My flat is quite cosy, but not overly ‘designed’ as such - there is no theme to the rooms. Plus, the kitchen and bathroom are old, the carpets dirty, the doors and windows throwaway. Only a complete overhaul would do, but when (if) I did it, I’d rip it all out and model it on my boss’ house :)
