I remember loving this room and the giant wonderful gold mirror. She worked on various room’s in the couple’s house and painted their bedroom Crushed Ice by Sherwin Williams.
#Aloof gray series
It was a picture of a bedroom she designed for this series on her blog that I loved called the Curbly Family House makeover. So while searching I came across this picture by one of my favorite designers Emily Henderson. I definitely am steering more to the lighter shades of gray vs more of the dark tones, and since the mudroom hall is dark I wanted the bathroom to be light for balance. Just typing in “gray powder room” and then started looking all of the options. Thus why I decided to go gray, because who knew gray would now be considered a neutral? Since I went bold in my hall – and very bright and cheery in the Laundry room, I feel that the powder room should be more tranquil in nature. But now there is a battle going on in that wing of our house between the Sage in my bathroom and the Sparrow in my hall. So what caused the change of heart? I think the big push for me was painting our mudroom Sparrow by Benjamin Moore, I did not realize how much gray made up the color Sparrow, for some reason it looked more green to me at first. I love the color gray for clothing and wear it often, especially in the winter – there is nothing like a nice pair of gray slacks or a light gray sweater for a staple in your wardrobe – but I have to be honest, up until late I never really loved gray for home decor. I did not realize that there were so many shades of gray out there. So, if you can guess based on the title, I am going to paint our bathroom a couple of shades of gray. I got a lot done this weekend which felt great – and even got some painting done which felt even better – more on that later. It was another cold one in my neck of the woods and for about an hour a blizzard with whiteouts went through our area…. Even though I think I am one of the few people in America that did not read the series. OK – I am sorry, I know an over used title, but I could not resist.
