Shades of Grey

Do not be deceived...dark colors don't make small spaces feel smaller. They give a room warmth and add an element of intrigue. So, I have painted our apartment...again. Adam was such a good sport and helped me get rid of the original blue/green and we now have charcoal grey walls.

These dark walls look yummy with these linen pieces.

Our new wall color is very similar to this one. Our sofa is white and it really pops against the dark wall...along with a funky Anthropologie toss pillow for a bit of color.

I am using some linen panels that I brought from home and I will be adding a seagrass rug and some art soon. More to come..
**The paint color I picked is Ralph Lauren's Palais Royal TH12**
I have never been disappointed with Mr. Ralph :)
