Light-Hearted House

"I love the light. It's good for the mood; it's sun therapy," says Nathalie.

Nathalie, an artist, was less than thrilled by the way the windows had been covered up by heavy curtains. To remedy the light-deprivation problem, she removed the draperies, then doing a very "un-Charleston" thing, she instructed her painters to paint every wall bright white. The entire house benefits from this simple, high-impact approach.
