It may be the most ethereal of hues, but it is neither reticent nor shy. White is positive, assertive, and highly visible. Over the centuries, its power has been understood and exploited. Ever sage, Queen Elizabeth I, when visiting her courtiers, stepped from boat or coach clothed in radiant, silver-threaded white so she would stand apart from her attendants and the welcoming throng.
A Palette of Seashells
A house near the sea carries its own special obligations. The interior must reflect the light from the expansive sky, the fleeting clouds that forecast the day's occupations, and the distant roar of the ocean that is a constant reminder of the shore with its glistening, tufted grasses, undulating sand, and thousands of tinted seashells scattered there.
The open living room of Susan Becher's house on Long Island is made to seem more open still by white moldings and floors, and by the subtle shade of vanilla paint on the walls. Easy-going blue and white striped slipcovers, a dash of white lace on chair backs and tables, and a hardy sisal rug make the room a year-round ode to summer.
