![]() If you look at Agreeable gray and Repose Gray separately, they honestly look about the same. These neutral gray colors are very popular color choices with home builders, real estate agents, and house flippers because they are so universally appealing and unoffensive. Many professionals use Sherwin Williams paint, and these are two of their most popular gray paint colors. Greige means a mixture between gray and beige. The thing is we have our annual Superbowl party this week so I hope I can get the room done – if not our guests are going to see a spotted bathroom.Deciding between Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray and Repose Gray? Let’s compare these two super popular greige paint colors! Just in case, I picked up a quart of primer at Sherwin Williams today to paint the walls with it this week. I have read online that you can’t wallpaper over semi-gloss paint so I have to research that tomorrow. I have ordered the beadboard wallpaper from Lowes and it should arrive hopefully by Wednesday of this week. So I am very excited to get started on the room. So I thought I would paint the top half of the wall the crushed ice and then the beadboard section Aloof Gray. Crushed Ice is lighter and I thought if I painted the room all this color it might be too white against the beadboard.Comfort Gray again is a nice accent color and also would not mind it maybe on a lower half of a room if the room was bigger.Colorado Gray was too blue – but both of the boys loved this color the best.Serious Gray was to dark – but love this color for an accent piece in a room – I painted a dresser this color this summer.Serious Gray Colorado Gray Comfort Gray Crushed Ice Aloof Gray. So up on the wall the following colors went. I had a couple of different shades of gray left over from other projects I used this summer. So last Monday morning I got up and decided to try a couple of grays out on my wall to make sure that I was comfortable with my selection. I love that I can see how other people are using the item or color in a way I would like to do and it either reinforces the idea or lets me know I need to move in another direction. I think it is a great resource to search for ideas. There is something about this space that I just love – I would love to have elements of this space in my house – I just love the round coffee table and the color on the wall is so neutral you would never know it was gray – aren’t these rooms to die for – can’t you see your self living in these spaces? (sorry for some reason the image would not load). Then I went through the whole series again and saw this other awesome color called Aloof Gray that she used in their living room. I love how Emily brings in vintage furniture and simple design to a space. 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. 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.
