Grey doesn't have to be gloomy!

The picture above I think I found on an online decor website last year, and had made a blog post about decor inspiration. I still love this picture. I saw it recently on my computer while looking through files and remembered how much I loved it. I wouldn't think I would like grey paint usually, but I love this white and red combo with it!!

I think I want to paint our living room sometime. Right now it's a pale guacamole green color. I like it but it's been almost 4 years with this color and I'd like a change. It'd be hard for me to limit myself to only red and white decor, so I found more inspiration in the pictures below. The red does look awesome in the pictures, but I currently don't have red pieces like these! I do have more cool colors like teal and turquoise in my living room right now, along with the green walls.

1. Olivier's big boy room, 2. turquoise mid-century chairs, 3. bedroom - from apt therapy, 4. light gray walls & red dresser, 5. gray walls, 6. grey walled bedroom

Much of my house is painted light milky grey and I love it. As a matter of fact I am changing the blue/white in my bedroom next week to grey. Color looks great against it.

I have noticed gray walls on a lot of interior design shows lately. I love it..and it goes with just about any color!

I've been dreaming of a charcoaly gray dining room with meaty white moldings, white furniture, loads of brushed steel and crystal and pops of turquoise on chairs and drapes and touches of black accents.
