Has anyone been to the paint department at Home Depot lately? They have a whole new display of paint chips. You can even by a 2 – 4 ounce paint sample for about $3.00 – $4.00 to take home and try about before you make a whole gallon commitment. (Wish I would have known that when I painted my boys’ room with 4 different paint colors).
Here are the paint samples I picked out.
This color is called Granite Gray by Glidden. I’m planning on painting three walls this color.
This color, called “Evening Hush” by Behr, will go on the wall where my beds sits.

For one, my bedroom gets blasted with intense sun.
I’m hoping the darker colors will take the sting off.

I just blogged about how I think I want to paint all my walls gray! Now I can live vicariously thorough you. 🙂 I can’t wait to see how it turns out. I don’t think you can get any more sophisticated than gray. Great choice!
I have to admit I love looking at pictures of your house, but feel aweful I havent made it down there to visit! We usually have a slow time in February or March….. I really want to plan a time to spend a few days with you guys in Sunny AZ!
