if the skies are gray.....

then lucky us...

I decided to paint my daughter's bedroom...I choose gray. her room is pink and red..pink bedspread and pink curtains....so I thought gray would make a big statement without having me to start from scratch..and also I  cause it goes well with everything. EVERYTHING.

don't argue with me.

i'm stubborn

 I wanted a neutrul color that I can maybe swap out pink for when she gets older and add something new and fresh..

don't believe me?

it goes well with yellow..






purple







green

if you don't know where this room came from you need a serious vt intervention.
but I will give you the link anyways. (source)






blue...and red
















even orange (and coral...they are kinda intermixed.)










or with just plain white










and of course pink

source (this is probably my favorite one)





dare i say it? gray is the new white. I love it. light dark..wall color...accessories...furniture...ceiling floor. kitchen bedroom... it goes anywhere.

so. do you want to see the gray color I picked?

  3. I just painted my room gray, but it was "gravity" at Lowes - - that stonewall looks pretty good though...
    maybe I should have gone darker....

  4. That's it! I was just playing around with Valspar's painting tools online wondering if I should in fact paint the bathroom gray. Clearly it's a sign-gray it is!

  14. I love this post - such great ideas and really proves that gray can go with almost any color. We were very inspired by your "favorite" room as well. We just did our daughters room almost just like it. See our blog post about it here:
