Looks very nice, but I also think those doors are pretty. We have oak trim (from the 70s, not like the picture), and I love the look of a warm gray with it. I definitely had some trial and error picking paint after being used to white trim in my old house.

I follow her blog also. With all the work she has done on her downstairs floors, etc. I'm wondering why she hasn't done anything with the doors, i.e, tone them down a bit.

It looks nice! I haven't checked out her blog in a long time. I'll be doing that later.

Hmmmm, i dont like that combination at all. The gray is so pale and washed out, it hasnt any personality.

I love the space -- love the doors -- but how would it look if it weren't so light and bright? Do people actually have hallways that are so light and bright?

Hardly grey. I stronger color grey would be successful as long as there isn't much blue in the hue

I think it looks really pretty. Definitely the quality of the light reminds me of a Northern home. I kinda like the barely there grey contrasting with the wood - makes the walls look cooler and the wood look warmer.

I will say, however, that oak gets a LOT oranger than that. Don't ask me how I know (sob) (my entire house) (previous owners' love affair with orange stain).

Robo, I believe she in in PA. Her house is lovely. Some people like light and neutral colors. She decorates with very light neutral colors and accents mainly with blues. She has a love of ironstone and blue transfer ware which is displayed in much of her home. I believe that hallway is upstairs and it looks like she gets alot of natural light, at least from that one room. In her downstairs, she recently sanded the floors and has yet to refinish them. The natural color is much lighter and not bad at all, but draws attention to the orange hue of the doors - in my opinion. Her trim is white, so at some point she may be planning to paint the doors, maybe not.

Oh I think that the doors are fabulous as they are!

I don't think that her home actually has a ton of light in the upstairs. It's a standard cape style home w/ 2 dormers I believe.

I am partial to lighter, breezier colors so I really like it!

Hm, I have BM Gray Owl, and it's most definitely darker than in this picture.

nosoccermom - the first picture is in bright light, which makes the gray owl look lighter. the second picture is in shadows, so it looks darker. beautiful pics!

Too funny - she addresses the doors on today's blog post! Foxes, I like the wood doors, but they are just too orangey for me. I would tone them down. Of course that's just my preference!
