[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks all.  Comments are all over the place, but generally make me feel better about the choice.  With the dark wood floors and some of our colorful rugs and paintings, I think it will soon look right.  The family room actually looks a lot like 10:32's second photo (and thanks for the photos - v. helpful).  Our furniture is not bright but neither is it white or neutral either, so it's not like an all white house, just all white walls/trim/ceiling.  I'm interested by several comments about not using the same white on wall and trim - it seems to me that it would be hard to use different shades of white - wouldn't they look funny, like something is off?  We just planned to use different finishes - matt on ceiling, eggshell on walls and semigloss on trim, but all the same shade (BM Dove White).[/quote]
Not necessarily -- a bright white on the trim and a softer white on the walls can be a sharp look.

But it's also not like you'll never be able to paint your walls again. You can get your furniture in there, live with it a while and then decide if you want to go in another direction.

Agreed.  Dove White is a nice white and will look good on walls and trim.  I personally do like the subtle contrast with the trim so I'd go for a brighter white for the trim.

More good photos with white walls:
