Has Anyone Painted Their Interior White?

I asked my interior designer friends their favorite white (remodeling our master.) Many recommended recommend Farrow and Ball "pointing."

I wished I liked white more. But just like the stones I wear...white for me is more of an accent color...lol

But I will say I used white for the kitchen walls. I forget the color, but it wasn't a very stark white as we have brown wood trim around the windows.

Painting a foam board is genius. I'll remember that tip. I've made a couple of paint mistakes.

Also-we use semi-gloss on trim/baseboards/painted doors.
For walls--remember that the higher the gloss level-the more imperfections will show.
Go as flat as possible on walls depending on the condition of the drywall/plaster. High gloss paint shows EVERY imperfection.
I did use eggshell in kids rooms when they were young-but you will need to spend time patching and sanding first. Flat is the most forgiving if you have less than perfect wall conditions.
