Going Gray

Today is one of those gray days. The weather is cloudy, I'm exhausted, so much work to do. Part of me wishes I could just waste away this gray day in bed with a good movie, a period drama perhaps, and let the grayness of the day envelop me. And being in a gray space would make that even cozier. I love gray spaces. What I love about gray is that rooms swathed in this color can be either extremely modern or quite classic. It is not a color that has a time period or style associated with it, it goes with every style, every shape.

Which do you like best? I am extremely partial to the last picture, I especially love how the moulding in the door is painted a contrasting white. In my last apartment in NYC, my living room was painted Horizon by Benjamin Moore. If you are thinking of "going gray" I seriously recommend that as a color choice. Do you have a favorite color gray?

  3. I think the first room is my favorite. If you visit my site, you'll know I am a girl who loves color. So, I hardly ever look at gray rooms to be honest. However, I am TRYING to expand my horizons! I think because I am still young (almost 21) that I still tend to lean towards colorful interiors. Have a fabulous Friday!

    (Jealous that you live in New York. Recently moved from there - I was going to Pratt but had to leave!)
