On Sunday I painted our family room a very soft gray (seashell gray from Lowes).
Before it was a gold color (looks more yellow in this picture)
and here are some after pictures - sorry not very good pictures, it was gray and rainy outside when I took them. Right now I have not brought much back into the room in the way of accessories, I am liking the clean and uncluttered look, but I will need to at least bring back in some lamps.
someone's doing homework
the candle sconces are new - from Southern living at home
doing reading homework now. Notice the gray under the counter too - this was supposed to be the same color, (it was the small test sample) - it came out darker than when I purchased the gallon for the walls
And nothing at all like my room, but I found my inspiration for painting the room gray at the blog Dreamy Whites.

So I do have more to do on my room for it to be this pretty, but the wall color is a start, right?

i like it, its very neutral and will go with anything! I love bold dramatic colors but then you get limited with the rest of your decor so I love the neutral tones. very nice!
What a gorgeous paint color, I love it! Your home is so pretty.
Anna, it looks great and it should look for an old door or shutter to put in there. ;o)
I love that color gray! Great choice. And your drapes are gorgeous!
Thanks for sharing.
Typically I'm not a big fan of grey paint, but I love it in your room! It looks serene and peaceful. I have three boys ages 7, 5 and 2, so I could use some peace in my house! Great job.
Love the grey!!!!!!! :) So fresh and clean looking. :)
